F.C.A. Montauk Redbone – Wednesday, September 24, 2014 to Friday, September 26, 2014

There is still space available in the annual tradition that is the Montauk Redbone. Help catch the cure to Cystic Fibrosis while bending the rod at iconic Montauk Point. Fall fishing is currently heating up with Montauk’s inshore waters filling up nicely with tons of bait, bluefish, false albacore tuna, and stripers. This tournament is a ton of fun and always sports an array of colorful characters.

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n 1984 Gary and Susan Ellis’ newborn daughter, Nicole, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes the body to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and can lead to life-threatening lung infections. They were told that with considerable care, she should live to her early teens. After asking the question,“What is cystic fibrosis?” they set out to find a way to fight it.

In 1988 with the help of their friends, including baseball legend Ted Williams, they founded the Redbone Celebrity Tournament Series to help fund CF research. Guides, anglers and celebrities from film and sports teamed up on thirty-three boats to fish for redfish and bonefish. From that tournament came the name “Redbone.” They raised $16,000 that first year and more importantly,introduced cystic fibrosis into the conscience of the very caring community of the Florida Keys.

From that small seed, the Redbone Series has grown to include the Redbone Trilogy, thirteen Redbone@Large tournaments throughout the United States, Costa Rica and Mexico, four Redbone Red•Trout Tournaments, and one Redbone Bahamas Bonefish Classic. In the last ten years, Tournaments bearing the Redbone name have averaged over a million dollars a year to fight cystic fibrosis.
