MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark.- - Inshore anglers from across South Carolina and surrounding regions will converge at Charleston, S.C., May 3-4, for the 2014 Atlantic Division season-opening events of the IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela's and IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing.

The IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela's will begin its activities on Friday, May 2, with tournament registration at St. Johns Yacht Harbor (2408 Maybank Hwy., Johns Island, SC 29455) from 5-7 p.m. followed by the captain's meeting.
