Times Union Redfish Roundup
Plan to fish the Times Union Redfish Roundup tournament on April 16, 2011.  This tournament is a great family event where whoever catches a legal Redfish with the most spots will win the first prize of $7500!
The tournament benefits the Safe Harbor Boys Home and is in its 11th year and will be held at the Sisters Creek/Jim King Boat Ramp.

Deadline for entries is April 8, 2011 at 6:30pm or 500 confirmed entries. Tournament is April 16, 2011, 7 a.m. - 2p.m. or Safe Light after 7a.m.  Cash prizes will be paid to the top 50 anglers. (Payout based on 500 paid entries.)
A mandatory meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. at The Florida Times-Union building, 1 Riverside Ave, on Thursday April 14, 2011.
Entry Fee is $60.00 per boat.   If you can't make the tournament, give me a call and we'll launch The Anglers Mark!


Since 2001, The Florida Times-Union has sponsored and produced the Times-Union Redfish Roundup "The Spot Tournament for Charity." Responding to the fishing community's interest in a local charity tournament, the Times-Union created the family-friendly, one-day catch and release tournament to benefit local youth organizations

The Times-Union presents the tournament by providing staffing, financial and advertising resources. In the tournament's first year, the capacity of 225 boats quickly filled. Because of the tournament’s popularity, registrants grew to 350 and then to 425 boats. In 2006, the capacity was raised to 500 boats with approximately 1,500 participants. The ready acceptance of our spot tournament produced 100% pay-back in registration fees, a deep prize structure and community-wide support from sponsors, anglers and volunteers. More than $100,000 raised at the tournament has gone to the Safe Harbor Boys Home, the benefiting charity.
