The Saltwater Series tournament trail is owned and operated by Simrod Outdoors and was created by Jim Elrod and Scot Simmons.

Scot and Jim have fished tournaments since 1999.  They have polled fishermen from Louisiana  to South Padre Island asking what they are looking for in an inshore tournament.  The response was low entry fees, wadefishing, and more dates to fish.  The original Texas Redfish Tournament Series was designed from the feedback.  Since 2004, the company has expanded  from a small series, to a full blown outdoor production company. 

Simrod Outdoors produces the Redfish Series, Trout Series, Kid’s Series and Kayak Series tournament trails.  In addition, the company produces the Majek Owner’s Tournament, Rock the Riviera Tournament, the Saltwater Series Television show on FSN Southwest and the new Redfish Radio program.

Not only is there a renewed excitement of inshore angling, but the Redfish Tour is also a great format to educate people on the importance of maintaining our precious fishing resources. Since the banning of netting, our inshore fisheries have flourished much quicker than anyone could have imagined. From this, the Inshore Fishing Association was formed and continues to thrive. In accordance to Inshore Fishing Association's mission statement; we will keep our goals of competition, recognition, and education as the center of our focus.

We are dedicated to providing an avenue for the talented anglers of the Redfish Tour to excel in the world of competitive Professional fishing.
