What is it?
Cooler waters bring big redfish and spotted seatrout closer to shore where they begin to congregating around rivers and tidal creeks. It also means that it's time for GOFC's annual Redfish Roundup! This year seatrout and flounder will also be included and the tournament will be held at Deadman's Bay Marina in Steinhatchee. At weigh-in time, participants are encouraged to join fellow GOFC members on the deck for food and drinks. What better way to spend a weekend afternoon?
