Help get the word out! Tag your favorite series or club, in or out of Florida. You might help another angler discover a new opportunity to get involved in the sport we all love. 🎣

As a series that wants to see the sport grow in the right direction, we understand the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to build and sustain a tournament trail.

From small local clubs to larger traveling series, they all matter. They give anglers opportunities to compete in ways that fit their budget, travel capabilities, and schedule.

Whether it’s with us or another trail, the more opportunities anglers have to compete, learn, and enjoy the sport, the stronger the redfish community becomes….and that should *always* be the goal.

Down South Lures Summer Series Go Live Event-6/27/26 Florida and Louisiana division

Down South Lures Summer Series Go Live Event 7/25/26- Florida and Louisiana division

Down South Lures Summer Series Go Live Event- 8/29/26 Florida and Louisiana Division

This is a fish your own FLA waters, half-day tournament series designed to keep you competing all summer long without the long road trips. 🐟

This year we are keeping it Florida waters only. Why? Because that’s what YOU asked for. If participation doesn’t go as planned, we’ll reevaluate next year whether we continue the Summer Series or open it back up outside of Florida.

The three tournament dates are set, and just like last year, we’ll crown an Overall summer Champion for boats and kayaks based on points earned throughout the series where $20 from every summer membership will go directly into the overall championship pot for both divisions.

Just a heads up if you are one of our anglers that won a Tailin' Toads jersey this year whether in FRS or RWC make sure you use it by the end of this year

Once again, you asked and we listened!

For the 2027 season, boat team entry fees will increase but so will the payouts 💰
With a guaranteed minimum $10,000 first place payout, things are about to get even more competitive. 🎣
In 2026 our average boat count was 73!

Optional side pots for boats will remain the same price.

2027 schedule will be released in the next few weeks!

Kayakers, your entry fee will stay the same($150) since that seems to be the sweet spot for the majority of competitors. However, the optional side pot will be increased by $25(now $75) giving you even bigger optional opportunities to cash in. Big Red will also remain included in every kayak entry fee.

Our 2026 season is officially complete and the 2027 season is in the works!

Next year, we’re rewarding consistency all season long.

For 2027, we’ll be paying out:
• 1st–3rd Team of the Year
• 1st–3rd Angler of the Year

We’re one of the few trails that reward Team of the Year/Angler of the Year, giving more competitors a chance to be recognized and rewarded for their season long performance.

Season membership will be $100, with 40% from every membership going directly into the points jackpot that will reward the top three in both divisions at the end of the season.

Our shorter season format makes it possible for more anglers to stay competitive all year long, and with three payout spots instead of one, your chances are even better.

Whether you’re chasing Team of the Year, Angler of the Year, or just looking to compete with one of the fastest growing trails around, 2027 will be here before you know it!

This payout is based off 500 members- last year we had 467 of which 15% were kayakers and 85% were boats.
