In 1989, Shields Marina in St. Marks, FL was the site of the inaugural Big Bend Saltwater Classic. This year Shields Marina returns as a the third weigh station for the tournament. "Shields Marina is a natural fit for The Classic and gives anglers fishing the eastern boundaries of the tournament more time on the water and less on the road," said Tournament Chairman Justin Parramore.
Shields Marina return to The Classic allows the tournament to continue with a weigh station in Wakulla county. The Carrabelle Boat, tournament headquarters, and Port St. Joe Marina are the other two weigh stations in Franklin and Gulf counties.
