Grass Flats Classic in Destin

JoeZ · 02-12-2009, 10:26 AM

Hey kids,

Time to sharpen those sightfishing skills and find the big reds. The Grass Flats Classic Redfish Tournament will March 20-21 down in Destin.

Two-man teams, artificial only, with a $400 entry fee per team. Fishing will be from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday the 21st. $10,000 to the winner with a 50-boat field.

I'm very excited about this tournament, the Wrights (Peter Sr. and Jr.) have worked hard on this and have great ideas that will make this more than just another local tourney.

$500 to the single biggest fish (so even if you only catch one, you still might get paid.) And, in big bass tourney style, all the boat will launch and return at Joe's Bayou, then get on the trailers and be escorted (police, lights, all that fun stuff) through Destin, parade style, and weigh in at Hooters down there.

Band, beer, party.

If you need more info, hit me up or go to http://www.grassflatsclassic.com

Joe all that trash talking a month ago about a redfish tournament and now their is one and no responses????????????????????? Anyways I will give Pete Jr a call in the morning and pay, me and George are definately in, so we will see you there. I am almost positive that the Mawell Bros will be there as well. S the question remains WHO ELSE IS IN!

Joe if their happens to be more than 50 boats does the prizes go up or just pay back further? I hope we have a good turn out because this will go along way in getting big inshore events to look harder at the Panhandle. Good luck to all that compete!
