Hey all, who's planning on doing this years Tybee Redfish tournament? First place last year got $10,000.00!
This year will make my sixth try at it. I won third place several years back and I got the bluefish Calcutta one year, so I'm ahead money wise.
This year, like last year its going to be held the first weekend in October. I don't like the dates because I feel like its to early. I have surf fished Tybee for over two decades and generally speaking, the peak time for the big Redfish in the surf is around the 3rd week of October, give or take. Anyway, the weather is usually super nice first of October. Maybe we get a couple of strong cold fronts come through in the next few weeks and get the water temp down?
For those that don't know about it, the tournament is a ton of fun. Being on the beach with a few hundred like minded guys, having fun and trying to catch fish. Looking left and then right, down the beach and seeing nothing but rods all the way in each direction is pretty cool!
Way better than hangin' out at the house with the women folk doing something stupid like chores, just so you can watch the game later!
Besides GA will be 5-0 facing Kentucky that Saturday, Go Dawgs!
