Hey guys. I've been looking at this site for a while but I figured it's about time that I started posting. I was actually the guy that got lucky and won the tournament. It was a blast! I'm amazed that I won simply because I only boated 4 total fish. My step father was with me and he only boated 1 eye and 1 brown. Needless to say he was a little upset haha.
Seeing how many fish everyone else caught it's amazing that I came out on top. Lucky day indeed. I ended up boating 2 by the inlet where everyone headed out, my first one was 21 inches and the second was 17 1/2. My dad ended up boating one eye over there at 18 1/2 and a nice brown. It was a little crowded over there as everyone can attest to so we decided to try a spot where we caught quite a few eyes last year. We fished just beyond the bridge along the cliffs. We didn't go as far as the other inlet just hit one spot where it drops down to 50' and up to 15-16' then back down to 35' or so. (Sorry I don't know any names). Over there is where I boated my last 2 eyes. The first one we caught just about an hour after we got there and that was the biggest one of the day at 22 1/2". A couple hours later I boated another at 21 1/2". After that we tried to find some bass but I don't have the patience or desire to fish for bass.
We headed in about 3:15 and awaited the results. It was a great day out there. I'm a little jealous that we didn't catch as many as some other people, but I can't complain considering the results[
].
Look forward to fishing with you guys again. Thanks for the excellent posts on here by the way. I've lived on this site for the past year and thrive on all the reports. I will attach pictures of the fish. Oh, and FYI, we were both using bottom bouncers w/ silver flashers and red or green beads.
