“Not only is there a renewed excitement of inshore angling, but the Redfish Tour is also a great tournament that naturally educates people on the importance of maintaining our precious fishing resources. “Since the banning of netting, our inshore fisheries have flourished much quicker than anyone could have imagined. From this, the Inshore Fishing Association was formed and continues to thrive. In accordance to Inshore Fishing Association’s mission statement; we will keep our goals of competition, recognition, and education as the center of our focus.”
