CIGARHead Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was in my 1st pro tournament this past weekend. Got 7th place out of 31 team boats. Caught a bunch of Redfish, most smaller. I caught the one Im holding(on right) way up in the spartina grass at high tide. He was 25" and 5.68 lbs. My partner Capt. Tom caught his up near the grass line as well. Mines a bit mangled from fighting him up in the grass. Tourney was best 2 Redfish, aggregate weight. We ended up w/ 10.35 lbs. Such a fun time..and won some dough.

CIGARHead Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 » congrats indeed. is this on fly or anything goes? Ken, thanks. This was strictly artificial lures, soft plastic etc...you could have used a fly rod. I used a spinning reel. I use a Shimano Stella 3000 on a G. Loomis Greenwater rod. The Redfish have to be legal (18" to 27")...You have to keep the Reds alive in the livewell or they dont count. After the weigh-in, they are placed in a big aerated pen, then released once fully recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIGARHead Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 » I love Redfish.....it is one of my fav's......Are you guy @ Mosquito River? No, this is in Jacksonville, FL. We live in St Augustine, but had to launch out of Jacksonville. We made the run down to St. Augustine which was about a 50 min. boat ride. We do go to Mosquito Lagoon quite often though. World Class Redfish down there. Its about an hour from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
