The Elite Redfish Series will host another tournament in Port Arthur from April 5-7, and the final weigh-ins will coincide with the city’s Cajun Heritage Festival.
The series spans the Gulf Coast and offers visitors the opportunity to mingle with professional anglers. Youths can interact and take photos with redfish in a 1,500-plus gallon tank.
This is the sixth stop and seventh tournament in Port Arthur for the series. In the most recent stop, the Border Wars and Elite Kayak Series tournaments were held together June 29-July 1.
Episodes from the action will be shown at a later date on Discovery Channel.
Events for the April 7 festival will be at the Carl Parker Center at Lamar State College Port Arthur. Cajun Fest includes live performances by Wayne Toups and Royal BluGarou, Jamie Bergeron and the Kickin’ Cajuns and Travis Matte and the Kingpins, as well as crawfish eating and Cajun dance contests and a caricature artist.
