Redfish Cup Series Drops Schedule: Team Pyr Eyes Steinhatchee
Originally reported and curated from Redfish Cup Series.
The Quick Catch: The Power Pole Skeeter/Yamaha Redfish Cup Series schedule is officially live, bringing high-stakes tournament action back to the salt. As Team Pyr Fishing scans the lineup, one legendary Big Bend stop is calling our name.
Summary: The newly released Power Pole Skeeter/Yamaha Redfish Cup Series schedule sets the stage for one of inshore fishing's premier battlegrounds. Unlike regional circuits like the Florida Redfish Series—where Team Pyr Fishing regularly competes in grass-roots style events—the Redfish Cup features elite teams, televised coverage, and elevated stakes. Entry fees for the Redfish Cup sit significantly higher, often requiring thousands per boat compared to the $300-$500 entry fee range typical of localized Florida circuits. While many rules are shared across the series, such as no burning the flats, a live release, and artificial only lures, key rule nuances also separate the two. The Florida Redfish Series allows more flexibility on boat configuration, but the Redfish Cup employs strict rules prohibiting casting platforms and a max 22" tall riser platform for the drive station. Successfully competing demands flawless boat handling and tactical versatility across diverse inshore environments.
The Pyr Take:
At Pyr Outdoors, we are no strangers to the grind of competitive redfishing. Competing as Team Pyr Fishing in local tournaments and on the Florida Redfish Series circuit has sharpened our tactics across skinny water flats, oyster bars, and punishing salt marshes. The announcement of the Redfish Cup schedule immediately caught our attention—specifically the Steinhatchee event. Steinhatchee’s shallow grass flats, rocky points, and heavy tides demand absolute toughness from both angler and gear, making it the ultimate venue for our style of fishing. Stepping up to the Redfish Cup means navigating higher entry fees and going head-to-head with legendary tournament pros, but that is exactly the challenge we crave. The opportunity to run our Dargel through the Big Bend in a high-caliber venue is almost too good to pass up. Whether we lock in for the Steinhatchee event or double down on our Florida Redfish Series run, our commitment to testing our limits on the water remains absolute.
Gear & Apparel Note: When you are spending long, grueling winter and early spring hours scouting the Steinhatchee flats staying warm is essential. Keep the biting temps at bay with our Pyr Outdoors Classic Inshore Hoodie. It's heavyweight construction and stylish Redfish and Trout images will not only help keep you warm, but also let everyone know what you are hunting.
