2021 Tournament Sponsors!

Dear Friends,

The growth of this Tournament is amazing! We started in 2008 with 19 teams and a dream. Last year’s 13th annual event brought challenges with COVID-19, but we still had a successful event.

Since 2008, The Trio has donated over $175,000 to many local charities including the Matagorda Wellness Center, American Cancer Society (Matagorda County Branch), The Boys and Girls Club of Bay City, various non-profit organizations, as well as people in and around Matagorda County. The Trio has also hosted Wounded Warriors on several occasions.

Because of your support, The Trio is one of the largest and most successful bay fishing tournaments on the Texas Gulf Coast. With new goals in 2021 and celebrating 14 years, we do not plan on slowing down anytime soon.

We greatly appreciate your previous sponsorships and raffle item donations to the Texas Trio Classic Fishing Tournament and look forward to your continued support in 2021.

“The Texas Trio Classic has two simple goals. Fish For A Cure and host the best inshore fishing tournament in the state”. Your generosity helps the tournament reach its two simple goals. Thank you for making a difference!

This year's tournament will be held October 21st-23rd. Captains meeting and dinner will be Thursday the 21st, Open Division fishes Friday the 22nd, and Artificial Division fishes Saturday the 23rd.

Teams can enter both divisions.

1. This year's tournament will be a live fish weigh-in. Each team will bring up to 3 live fish to the scales (one trout, one redfish, and one flounder.) Dead fish will be allowed to be brought to the scales but will incur a 1/2 pound penalty for each fish not alive.

2. The Trio will pay top 3 places for heaviest trout, redfish, and flounder.

3.The tournament will be limited to the first 75 teams in each division.

4. This year's entry fee will be $1550 per team, and each team can have up to 5 team members. $1000 of your team entry will go to a Calcutta pot and be paid out 100% to five places. The Calcutta pot will consist of a trio (one trout, one redfish, and one flounder). Payout will be based as follows:

1st place- 50%

2nd place- 20%

3rd place- 15%

4th place- 10%

5th place - 5%

The total payout will be determined by the number of entries in each division. If division fills up (75 teams), payouts will be:

1st place- $37,500

2nd place- $15,000

3rd place- $11,250

4th place- $7,500

5. Teams are allowed to enter both divisions as long as they enter before it is full and pay both entry fees. Bonus money will be given to the top finishing teams with combined trio weight (trout, red, flounder) for the two days. For teams to be eligible for the bonus money, teams that enter both divisions must have the same team members fishing both days. Bonus money will pay two places:

1st place- $3000

2nd place- $2000

By entering both divisions, you have the possibility of winning (if the tournament is full) $75,000 Calcutta pot money, big fish money, and bonus money!!!!

Over the next couple of months, we will be working on the final set of rules. Online entry will begin on August 15, 2021. We look forward to another great year, and don't hesitate to contact a tournament director with any questions. Thanks to all who fish and all of our sponsors who make us what we are.
