IFA Redfish Tours Head to Charleston, S.C. - FishNews - 05-31-2013
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. - Inshore anglers from across South Carolina and surrounding regions will meet at Charleston, S.C., June 8-9, for the 2013 Atlantic Division season-opening 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 Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina (24 Patriots Point Rd., Mount Pleasant, S.C. 29464). The IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela's will begin its activities on Friday, June 7, with tournament registration from 5-7 p.m. followed by the captain's meeting. Anglers will launch from Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina at safe light on Saturday, June 8, with check-in times assigned at Friday's captain's meeting.
