IFA Redfish Tours Head to Georgetown, S.C.

IFA Atlantic Division events set for April 30-May 1

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Inshore anglers from across the Carolinas and surrounding regions will meet at Georgetown, South Carolina, on April 30 – May 1 for the first 2016 Atlantic Division events of the IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s and IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing.

Both tour events will operate out of Campbell Marine Complex (Hwy 17 S at Sampit River Bridge, Georgetown, SC 29440). The IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s will begin its activities on Friday, April 29, with tournament registration from 5-7 p.m. at the complex followed by the captain’s meeting. Anglers will launch from complex marina at safe light on Saturday, April 30, 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, April 30, at Campbell Marine Complex. Anglers will launch Sunday from the location of their choice with the weigh-in to be at Surf the Earth (47 Da Gullah Way, Pawley’s Island, SC 29585.) 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.
