FGCU Fishing Invitational presented by DYS 2019 Ft. Myers

Apr-06-19 All day

When Jesse Woodyard suddenly passed away in 2014, a group of classmates started a fishing tournament to celebrate his life. After becoming the Fallen Eagle Redfish Classic in 2015, an academic scholarship was created in his memory, so his legacy could last forever.

Today, with over $50,000 in the endowment and two marine science students receiving scholarships each year, the tournament is evolving again. We are proud to announce that the Florida Gulf Coast University Alumni Association will be hosting the FGCU Fishing Invitational on April 6, 2019.

    2nd place $750 + Half Day Charter with Captain Gene Miller

    Entry Fee: $75 per angler
    Vessels that can be used: Kayak, Paddle Board, Canoe or any man-powered vessel. No motors on any vessel. Only one (1) person per vessel.
    How to win Redfish & Trout Combined Category: The tournament is going to be a point system based on biggest redfish (photo, 1 inch = 1 point) and heaviest combined weight (1 pound = 2 points) of 2 trout, both trout must be above 15” and under 19”. If the trout length exceeds or touches the 19" line it will be disqualified.
    Example: If you catch a 30.5" Redfish and properly document it via a photo/video on an approved tournament measuring device, that's 30.5 points. If you catch two (2) trout, one (1) being 2lbs and the other being 3lbs, that's a total of 5 pounds which equals 10 points (2 points per pound). Add redfish points with trout points for a total of 40.5 points, and that's how the winner will be determined. Please see below another example;
    25.75” Redfish = 25.75 points
    4.9 pounds combined weight of 2 trout = 9.12 points
    25.75 + 9.12= 34.87 total points
    Tie breaker will be determined by the angler that weighed in first.
    (3) Launch Points: Ozello Keys Marina, Ozello Trail Community Boat Ramp, John Brown Boat Ramp.

    I apologize for the time this has taken to make our final decision.After looking at the past years of our beloved Casting for Cats Womens fishing tournament our number of lady anglers has dropped each year, in order to keep up with our ever changing time Casting for Cats will be changing it’s format. Now we will include women anglers fishing with there Captain or there husband to become a team event We will still have a Grand Champion female angler but we will also have other division . We are hoping this change will bring in more anglers male and female to cover the cost we all incurred by having tournaments. With this new change we now will be challenged with a new set of rules to make it fun and fair for all. We feel we need to ”Paws” to make these changes . We have just booked the Islander Resort for Oct.17 and 18 2024 . Thank you for so many years of your support we greatly hope this change will keep this tournament here for many years to come.
