South Padre Island announced the highly anticipated Ron Hoover Fishing Tournament will return July 14-15, 2023.
“As the Lone Star State’s mecca for fishing, South Padre Island serves as a haven for anglers looking to cast a line and enjoy the great outdoors,” said Blake Henry, South Padre Island CVB Executive Director. “The Ron Hoover Fishing Tournament offers a weekend to leave anglers in awe – full of fantastic fishing opportunities and the chance to explore our beloved Island. Join us for a weekend on the water, soaking up the sun and reeling them in.”
The event is sponsored by Ron Hoover RV & Marine Centers and benefits the Make-A-Wish of the Rio Grande Valley, with a portion of the proceeds donated to help make wishes come true for terminally ill children in the area. The tournament will feature over $200k in cash and prizes this year, including a new Majek M2 and Starcraft Pontoon.
Saturday’s activities start early with a 6 a.m.- 2 p.m. fishing time, and weigh-in will take place from 12-2 p.m., with anglers having to be in line by 2 p.m. sharp at Jim’s Pier.
