Could this be a record year for the Redfish Classic?

 The Maverick Boats Redfish Classic is the one event that many Flatsmasters anglers look forward to the most.  Some say it’s the easiest event of the year, with teams using any type of bait to catch their pair of redfish.  Others claim it’s a tough tournament because loads of fish are caught and it usually comes town to the hundred of a pound to determine the final standings. 

This year, fueling the debate is the fact that the last month has produced some monster weights in other recent Charlotte Harbor events.  This year teams may need 14lbs. to make Sunday’s Top Five Shootout.  Water Temperatures are finally stabilizing and live bait is everywhere, so look for lots of reds at the scales on Saturday.

Over 90 teams will compete in this weekend’s Maverick Boats Flatsmasters second event of the year- The Redfish Classic Tournament.

Weigh In’s are open to the public.
