Good prefishing tough tourney

Hurricane Drew and I finished the Redfish Action series with about as poor of result as the previous two tournaments. We finished last season as the Redfish Action Team of the Year and Series Champions and were runner up the previous year. Hopefully next year will be better fishing on the flats up there. Thank God we are done with redfish tourneys in MHC this season. In years past we have been able to roll up to MHC for a day or two of pre fishing and wack 40 to 50 fish on game day. Those days did not happen this year for us. Yes there were a few teams that cashed in fishing a few areas like the haystacks, Core Creek, and the beach but overall MHC as well as our area have not been what they have in the past. I cannot say for sure what has happened this year to the numbers of redfish inshore but I can tell you the obvious answer lies in the cold water temps for extended period of time the past two winters the last one being the worst. I am not saying there have not been any fish inshore. I have had several 30 fish days this season on trips but they have been the rarety instead of the norm as in the past few years. Ok enough of that. We caught about six fish on game day and my first two fish were overslot and Hurricane pulled a fish and had a breakoff on his first two. I knew going into the day from our prefishing that if we did not pull two nice upper slots early in the day the fish would start moving and it would be hard to get anything besides lower slot fish out of the school. We saw several overslot fish in the school we targeted on game day earlier in the week but could not catch anything but slots then. A

We are only 3 points out of the IFA Atlantic Division points race for team of the year. The final tourney in Gtown will determine team of the year. We are striving to defend our IFA Atlantic Division title so we can compete at the IFA Championship for national team of the year once again.
