2020 Texas Trio Classic Postponement
To all fishermen and women, patrons, and friends of the Texas Trio Classic,
I hope this note finds you and your families happy and healthy during these uncertain times. After many weeks of conferring with port, city, county, and state officials, our Tournament Directors have made the difficult decision to postpone the 12th Annual Texas Trio Classic due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new dates for our tournament are October 22nd – October 24th.
Some of you may be wondering why we’re postponing, and why we’ve made the decision now versus waiting until later when more information could be available. In the spirit of transparency, we want to share with you a few of the considerations that ultimately drove us to make this decision sooner rather than later.
The purpose of our tournament has always been to support the health, wellness, and well-being of families in Matagorda County and surrounding areas. After conferring with experts, our team felt that holding the tournament in early June places at risk the very communities we serve and care so deeply about. In addition, we felt strongly that this decision should be made sooner rather than later to minimize the impact of the local economy where our tournament is held. Each year, local businesses in Matagorda and surrounding areas see an influx of business the week of our tournament, especially retail and vacation rentals. Deciding to postpone now allows companies the opportunity to adjust their plans and mitigate the financial losses that would almost certainly occur if we delayed the decision. Related to this, many patrons book vacation rentals that require a 30-day notice of cancellation to receive a refund of their deposit, and we wanted to allow ample time for this as well. For these reasons, we decided that now was the time to announce our decision to postpone the tournament until fall.
We hope you understand why we’ve made this decision and will join us in October for some cool weather fishing (for a change). Thank you again for your continued support of our tournament, and we’ll see you soon.

2020 Texas Trio Classic Update
Here are a couple updates for the 2020 tournament.
Online live Facebook drawing will be done Tuesday, February 11th to decide which division fishes Friday and Saturday. This will be the only year a live drawing will be conducted. Every year the divisions will switch.
*Example: If artificial is drawn on Friday this year, next year (2021) they will fish on Saturday. The following year (2022) they will fish on Friday.
Online entry will begin Monday, March 2nd at 8am. There will only be 75 teams allowed in each division. You will have the option to enter artificial only, open only, or both divisions.
Live Facebook drawings for tournament day takeoff positions will be conducted as follows:
Teams that sign up on Monday, March 2nd until Monday, March 9th at 8am will be drawn first. This will be a random draw on March 11th.
Teams that sign up on Monday, March 9th at 8:01am until Monday, March 16th at 8am will be drawn second (if needed). This will be a random draw on March 18th.
*Example: If 60 artificial teams are entered in the first drawing, the second artificial drawing will start with team 61.
If needed, a third drawing will be conducted on June 3rd.
If you are wanting a chance of being one of the first teams to takeoff on your tournament morning or mornings, we suggest you get signed up the first week of registration. Last year the tournament sold out in one day.
Feel free to contact a tournament director if you have any questions. Sign up is getting close!
Texas Trio Team
2020 Texas Trio Classic
The 2020 Texas Trio Classic will be held June 11-13 at the Matagorda Harbor Pavilion. Since 2008, we have donated over $175,000 with much of that being to local charities! These donations would not be possible without you, the fishermen, and the best sponsors around! Our primary goals remain crystal clear:
1) Fish For A Cure
2) Host the best inshore fishing tournament in the state.
In 2008 we changed the game by flipping the existing complicated structures of inshore tournaments on its head. 1 Trout, 1 Redfish, 1 Flounder – the Texas Trio Classic. We came from nothing, worked hard, and with the support of the community, along with generous sponsors, built an excellent tournament. We could not be prouder of the work everyone has done together!
We are excited to change the game again!
In order to host the best inshore fishing tournament in the state, our tournament is on a quest to find out who the best all-around fishermen are. We are changing our structure to allow teams to participate in both open and artificial divisions, with added incentives to those who catch trios in both divisions. Most of all, this new format will leave no doubt about who the best on the water is!
2020 Texas Trio Classic tournament changes as follows:
1. This year's tournament will be held on two days (Friday and Saturday). The tournament will be limited to the first 75 teams in each division. One day will be artificial only, and the other will be open only. Live Facebook drawing will determine which day each division fishes.
2. This year's entry fee will be $1550 per team, and each team can have up to 5 team members. Entry fee will include all side pots (stringer side pot, heaviest flounder, redfish with most spots and trout closest to 2.5 lbs), biggest trout, and Calcutta pot (to be discussed in a bit). You are entered into every category with your one-time all-in entry
3. This year we will have our captain's meeting, dinner, and live entertainment on Thursday night. There will be no Calcutta auction. To replace it, we will be taking $1000 of your team entry, which will go to a Calcutta pot and be paid out 100 percent to five places. The Calcutta pot will consist of a trio (one trout, one redfish, and one flounder). The payout will be based as follows.
1st place - 50%
2nd place - 20%
3rd place - 15%
4th place - 10%
5th place - 5%
The number of entries in each division will determine the total payout for that division. If division fills up, with 75 teams, payouts will be:
1st place - $37,500
2nd place - $15,000
3rd place - $11,250
4th place - $7,500
5th place - $3,750
4. Teams are allowed to enter both divisions as long as they register 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 $75,000 if both divisions are full. This total does not include the side pot money, big trout money, or bonus money.
Over the next few months, we will be working on the final set of rules. Online entry will begin on March 1st, 2020. We wanted to go ahead and put this out there so fishermen can start digesting it.
We look forward to another great year and don't hesitate to contact a tournament director for any questions. Thanks to all who fish and sponsor who make us what we are.
THE TEXAS TRIO CLASSIC!!!
