Inshore anglers from across Florida and surrounding regions will meet at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, on August 27-28 for the second 2016 Florida East Division event of the IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s and IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing.
The IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s will begin its activities on Friday, August 26, with tournament registration from 5-7 p.m. at the New Smyrna Marina (200 Boatyard Street, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169) followed by the captain’s meeting. Anglers will launch from New Smyrna Marina at safe light on Saturday, August 27 and will return to the marina for the weigh-in. Check-in times will be assigned at Friday’s captain’s meeting.
Competitors in the IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing will have registration from 6-7 p.m. with the captain’s meeting to follow on Saturday, August 27 at the New Smyrna Marina. Anglers will launch Sunday from the location of their choice and return to the marina for the weigh-in. Check in times will be announced at Saturday’s captain’s meeting.
Continuing to draw inshore anglers from Texas to the Carolinas, both IFA Redfish Tours include five different divisions, each with a two-event regular season. With budget-friendly entry fees, both tours offer opportunities to compete close to home while keeping anglers’ expenses to a minimum.
In addition to nearly 200 percent payback, every regular-season IFA Redfish Tour event guarantees a new, fully-rigged Ranger boat powered by a Yamaha outboard valued at $25,995 for first place. Each IFA Kayak Fishing Tour event will feature a $1,500 cash prize for the winning angler.
