$22,000 raised in the 2013 Redbone Island Walk
making Great Strides for the Treatment and cure of cystic fibrosis.
Welcome to the Redbone - We are dedicated to bringing together a unique
group of sportsman and women who respect the outdoors and relish every
opportunity to connect with it. Athletes and anglers, guides and celebrities,
all come to fish. And by fishing, they contribute much more than their
time. We are a non-profit (501c) company that raises money "To
Catch The Cure" for cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting
approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United
States. A defective gene causes the body to produce
an abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the
lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections.
These thick secretions also obstruct the pancreas,
preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines
to help break down and absorb food. The mucus also
can block the bile duct in the liver, eventually
causing permanent liver damage in approximately six
percent of people with CF.
We offer a series of fishing
tournaments throughout the year. The Robert James Sales, Redbone Trilogy in the Florida Keys includes; the S.L.A.M. In Key West in Sept., the Baybone in Key Largo, in Oct. , and the grandaddy tournament Redbone, in Islamorada, in Nov. celebrating it’s twenty-fifth year.
In addition we offer many Redbone at Large tournaments throughout
the United States and the Bahamas. Visit
our tournaments area for schedules of tournaments
and events offered by Redbone.
Redbone has a journal called the Redbone
Journal. The Redbone Journal is focused on
the wonders of our natural environment. In our
South Florida setting, the bountiful surroundings
have granted silvery fish, jeweled waters, and
flowered palm frond beauty that draws anglers from
around the world. Attention is given to issues
that may benefit or detract from the preservation
of these life-giving riches.
