Texas International Fishing Tournament on SPI

Surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Laguna Madre Bay and Gulf of Mexico, Port Isabel and South Padre Island play host to Texas’ largest saltwater fishing tournament. Founded by Doc J.A. Hockaday in 1933, the tournament was designed to tell the story of phenomenal fishing in the Rio Grande Valley to anglers from around the world.

Fisherman young and old will compete in one of three divisions: bay, tarpon, and offshore. Dockside, spectators turn out to view impressive catches of blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish brought in by the big boats offshore. Bay anglers will be weighing in mouthwatering catches of speckled trout, redfish, and flounder during the two days of fishing.
