Fishing Rodeo Updates

DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. — The perennial Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo (ADSFR) is still on for this weekend at Dauphin Island, AL.com reports, but the Blue Marlin Grand Championship of the Gulf at Orange Beach is rescheduled for July 21, Gulf Coast Media announced. The new date for the Blue Marlin event, organized by The Wharf and the fourth and final tournament of the Gulf Coast Triple Crown, would ostensibly extend it to August 1, considering the event’s typical 12-day run. The threat of bad weather this weekend also concerned ADSFR organizer, the Mobile Jaycees, but since it differs in that it provides inshore, near-shore and offshore options, the organization felt there was enough flexibility for evading storms.
