Sea Trout Tournament Week

Started the tournament week off right with a nice gator trout this morning. I can’t tell you exactly how big it was (the others from the tournament might see this post and then know what they need to beat) but it was over 20″ long. This morning started off slow with a pretty stiff southeast breeze blowing 10-15 mph. It kept me moving quickly and made staying on the grassy areas difficult.

I started out around Long Bar fishing the grass humps all around it with a couple of fish in the 15″-17″ range. After a while I moved out into the center of the bay on the slightly deeper flats and had better luck. The drawback to the deeper water was a lot of Jacks wasting my time. Oh well it is better than getting skunked…LOL. I had my limit by 11:30AM and called it a morning to come home and take some pictures. I will be back out this afternoon after a little nap.
