Texas Shark Rodeo

is shark fishing message board. The original TSR came to an untimely end when the work to run it was too overwhelming for those involved. Sharkathon has taken upon themselves the task of restarting this event with the consent of "Big" Lou McEachern in an effort to further promote the conservation of sharks and to gather data from statewide participants to help scientific studies with catch data and tagging. TSR in partnership with Texas A&M Harte Research Institute will be issuing tags for participants to help further shark research in Texas coastal waters. Catch data and tag data will be collected via the TSR website and passed along to the HRI tagging program. This event is a "Leave no trace" event and we greatly encourage all participants to not only clean up after themselves when fishing but do what they can to leave the area they fished cleaner than when they arrived. Teams will consist of a maximum of 5 adults and one junior angler (under 16). Junior angler is not required and teams do not have to have all 5 adults to compete. All rules and requirements are subject to change until the launch of the tournament. Please review the rules and requirements we do have published at this time for participating by visiting www.texassharkrodeo.com
