The successful BASSmaster Elite Tournament in Orange will now be followed by the Yellowfin Redfish Elite Tournament.

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce held a press conference at their office on the afternoon of September 22 to announce the event. The tournament will be from April 7-10, 2016 at The city of Orange Boat Ramp and sponsored by Stark Cultural Venues. The angers will fish on April 8, 9, and 10.

There will be a festival, carnival and music.

Organizer John Gothia said hopefully the weather will cooperate but event if it doesn't, the show must go on. The organizers of the tournament are shooting for a 12-inch limit rather than the state required 14-inch limit to increase competition.
