IFA REDFISH TOUR - Event 2 - Surf City - RESULTS!
Team Crystal Coast Graphics, Mike and I, fished the IFA Redfish Tour's 2nd tournament of the Atlantic Division this Sat. May 23rd out of Surf City, NC. There were 44 teams that showed up for the competition. Teams from Fla, GA, SC, and NC competed for a chance at a $30,000 dollar Ranger Banshee Extreme flats boat.
Mike and I had a good gameplan layed out and great weather to fish our spots. The only tough factor today was the Memorial Weekend Traffic! Our first spot produced 9 Reds with the largest at 7.17lbs and 25 3/4in. We moved on to several other locations and picked off a couple more reds but, nothing to upgrade what we already had. A final location showed us a school of about 150 reds and we quickly landed a 27 1/2in fish that was about 9lbs but unfortunately it was 1/2in oversized. A few more fish and we put a 24 1/2in fish that was strong at 5.85lbs. We had a trolling motor issue and decided to head to weigh-in early. Check out the results below.
We wound up taking the 1st Place Ranger Cup Award, 2nd Place TWT Big Fish, 2nd Place TWT Agg, and 4th Place in the main Tourny. Great Day! Mike and I would like to Congratulate Rob K. and Gary K. on their 1st place finish and the $30,000 grand prize boat and their 1st Place TWT big fish! Especially on Gary's B-Day! Click on >RESULTS<>
Mike and I would like to thank Ranger Boats as one of our sponsors as well as the Primary Sponsor of the IFA redfish tour. If you love to fish, and you're looking for a new boat, Ranger not only supports the sport in Fresh and Saltwater but, after seeing how these boats are built at the factory, it's no wonder why they are the best built boat with the highest quality materials available. Our new Ranger 2410's have arrived and they are amazing! About 13in. of water fishing reds on the flats then, running 20+miles offshore fishing Mahi, Kings, Grouper and more in a solid, dry ride! If you're interested in looking at a new or used Ranger, give Mike or I a call or call Collin's Inc. in Smithfield, NC for the best deals!
A special thanks goes out to Chris Ulmer and Crystal Coast Graphics for his support this season. Chris has the most up to date graphics software and equipment and does an amazing job on his boat and vehicle wraps! Check out his work at http://www.crystalcoastgraphics.com/ and look for a pic of our new wraps here on the site soon.
