The 2017 tournament season will kick off with a bang as the 2017 Yellowfin Elite Redfish Series, presented by Yamaha Outboards will return to Port Arthur Texas.
The Mardi Gras Southeast Texas – A non-profit volunteer organization has invited The Elite Series to join them for what will be a truly one of a kind event. There is a lot more information to come but this is just an early posting to let everyone know and have time to plan to be with us.
The Elite Series finished up meetings in Port Arthur yesterday and have had a very successful time here in what is truly an Elite location. The field is set and 35 of the country’s best redfish anglers will compete for 2 days with the “Fab 5” after 2 days of competition moving on to fish on day 3 and weigh in, under the lights and in front of huge crowds that attend Mardi Gras.
Plan to attend and watch what we feel will be another Head Turning event and feature some first time experiences for both the anglers, sport and of course the fans in attendance. If you are wanting to Marshal this event you will need to be signed up early, first come first serve and for the ease of operation, those that can marshal both Friday and Saturday will have priority. Of course on Sunday each pro will have a cameraman on board and Marshals are not needed.
