Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the 
Sport Fish Restoration Program

Experienced anglers who like casting for spotted sea 
trout, should make plans to be at Sea Ranch Marina on 
South Padre Island April 8, for the first of six Coastal 
Fisheries Bay Team Tournaments.

These participants are actually helping us bring in some real 
good fish, because they're already avid fishermen, and in this 
particular type of species. :08

Robert Adami oversees the program, which improves 
coastal fisheries by using these species in breeding and 
stocking programs. The event is limited to thirty, two-
person teams. Registration takes place onsite starting at 
6am and the tournament ends at 12:00 noon.

Anglers can fish any way they want. They can fish on pier, 
wading, from a bank, on a boat ... . it doesn't matter as long as 
they bring me back the fish alive. :09

And when they do, they become eligible for prizes.

One of the items we're going to be giving away is a Calcutta 
250 reel on a Texas tackle factory rod. And another item we're 
going to be giving away is some Boga Grips, and then the third 
item we'll be giving away is a Garmin GPS. :12

Participants that don't land spotted sea trout will still 
have their names put into a hat for a prize of their own. 

We'll be giving them a Shimano Curado reel. :02

That's our show ... .The Sport Fish Restoration Program

Texas in Lake Jackson.
