Texas Women Anglers Tournament
This ia a qualifying event for the IGFA Offshore World Championship.
History
The Texas Women Anglers Tournament was founded in the 1980's and enjoyed much success for many years. Feeling the pinch of the oil industry slump, several years went by without this tournament taking place. In 1998, the tournament was reinstated and has enjoyed prolific growth each year of it's existence. In 1998, the first year since its sabatical, the tournament entertained 18 offshore fishing boats with over 50 women anglers. In 2010, the thirteenth year, there were 43 boats that fished. Over $301,000.00 was awarded through voluntary pots. Boat participants and fishing pots continue to grow each year. We are looking forward to an even bigger 14th year in 2011.
This tournament is one of the only tournaments on the Gulf Coast that is strictly for women anglers and includes a billfish division. In the spirit of conservation and helping to preserve our billfish population, this tournament has always been a release tournament only. No billfish are killed by being brought to the dock and weighed. Each catch must be documented according to tournament rules. The Texas Women Anglers Tournament also offers tuna, wahoo and dolphin divisions. These fish are given points according to total weight. Trophies are awarded for 1st and 2nd place for each species as well as for the overall Champion. 100% of all proceeds for this tournament are donated to the Women's Shelter of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Port Aransas is one the most quaint fishing villages along the Gulf Coast. Known for some of the greatest fishing off of the coast of Texas, it offers a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. With more than its capita of great restaurants and boutique shopping, it's a "don't miss" spot when traveling to South Texas. So ladies, when you want to share in a wonderful outdoor experience and adventure, mark your calendars for August 26th, 27th and 28th, 2011 and come join us for the 14th annual Texas Women Anglers Tournament.
