After years of fishing redfish tournaments along the Texas Gulf Coast, my Brother-In-Law and I formed the Lone Star Fishing Team. We are a three man team with the sole purpose of promoting and marketing the best outdoor gear by uniquely competing in both powerboat and kayak fishing tournaments. We live in corporate America by day, but as former college athletes, redfish tournaments keep the competitive juices flowing for us on the weekends. The team is title sponsored by Lone Star Beer, but also hold various sponsorship’s from other companies, including…. Columbia Sportswear, Astral Fishing, Grind Terminal Tackle, Bison Coolers, Buggs Fishing Lures, Railblaza, Watershed Drybags, Werner Paddles, Hook Spit Performance Rods, Simms Fishing Products, Dexter Outdoors, Tailin’ Toads, Nacho Daddy Spoons, Salt Life Optics, and Saltwater Assassin Lures.
Aside from fishing redfish tournaments, We also own and operate the Lone Star Kayak Series (LSKS), the largest saltwater kayak fishing tournament in Texas and one of the largest on the entire Gulf Coast Region. Founded in 2012 out of Galveston, Texas, this kayak exclusive fishing tournament was designed to grow the local kayak fishing community and add a competitive aspect to the sport locally. In its first year of existence, the 4 tournament series drew as many as 50 anglers per event and had stringer totals north of the 15 pound mark. Since then the tournament has grown to a point where events now have up to 200 anglers, with winning weights over 17 pounds. As the tournament pays 75% of the entry fees to 25% of the field, gives custom one of a kind trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd, and also awards thousands of dollars in sponsor prizes, it’s no surprise the LSKS is growing faster than any other tournament in the region.
