The Gulf Coast will be reeling in a crowd when the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission welcomes approximately 80 anglers for the IFA Redfish Tour Fishing Tournament on October 16.
The tournament begins at safe light when 40 boats take-off from LuLu’s at Homeport Marina. After a full day of fishing, the captains will return with their prize catches for a 3 p.m. weigh-in at LuLu’s. On Friday evening, LuLu’s will host registration from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by a captain’s meeting at 7 p.m. The winners advance to the IFA Championship, which will take place in Orange Beach on November 4-6.
Also, the area will host a new one-man kayak division. A captain’s meeting is set for October 16 at LuLu’s following the weigh-ins of the previously mentioned IFA tournament. Then the kayakers will fish on Sunday and weigh-in with their catches that afternoon from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at LuLu’s. The winners from this competition will also advance to the IFA Kayak Championship on November 11-13, which will also be held in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area.
