Coming this October — we're bringing back the tournament that's all about the spots, not the size.
No. 3 was an absolute blast, 196 cards, 14 states, and 600+ spots counted, and we're ready to raise the stakes for No. 4. Bigger prize packages, a new way to play, and the biggest field yet. Three divisions. Thousands in prizes. One entire month to fish.
What is the Red Spot Round Up?
It's a unique redfish tournament open to all waters where redfish roam, running the entire month of October.
But here's the twist: It's not about how big your fish is, it's about how many non-connected spots you can fit inside our official 2" "Red Spot Round Up Red Card" circle on one fish.
No boat required. Boat, beach, bridge, dock, or your preferred vessel. All are welcome.
How It Works
- You've got the entire month of October to fish and submit as many Card entries as you want.
- Each Red Card is reusable, so keep hunting for that spotted champion.
- The more you fish, the better your chances to win.
Four Ways to Play
- Fly
- Spin
- Guide
- Blue Division (NEW — the Blue Card) — choose whichever division you want to enter, then fish it just like everyone else. Comes with an extra entry into both the Pre-Sale window giveaway and the weekly giveaways throughout October, and puts more toward the families we support along the way.
Who Can Compete?
Everyone. From tailing redfish fanatics to secret pond explorers, if you can legally catch a redfish, you can play.
- Flick a fly
- Soak a crab
- Throw your favorite lure
The heart of this event is celebrating the accessibility of chasing our favorite fish, however you like to do it, with the people you love to fish with.
