IFA Redfish Tour Atlantic Division Champs 2010

Last Saturday we finished up our last IFA Redfish Tour Atlantic Division Tournament. We pre fished from Georgetown to Charleston and everywhere in between. We found fish on every piece of water we fished and found new fish in several differents spots and water bodies. There is so much productive water down there and some of the most beautiful rivers anywhere with all sorts of wildlife on the banks. We saw several bald eagles up close and too many alligators to count. Some gators were up to 12 ft long and some were just babies. I snagged one little gator and brought him on the boat and released him unharmed. What aggressive little reptiles.

On game day we struggled to find the right sized fish as the tide was not in our favor early. We started out with some undersized fish then I got a 22 3/4 inch red (23" is the top of the slot in SC) then we struggled to find another fish in the slot for an hour or two. Then Drew got a 19" fish in an old standby spot. Then we made a long run to finish the day in a spot that we found numerous slot fish willing to eat earlier in the week. We popped two fish as the water was much siltier and stirred up than the conditions we faced earlier in the week. We both got an oversized fish each then headed back to Georgetown. We were behind one team by one point/place and another one by 3 points going into the tourney. After everyone had weighed in we found out we had just edged out the second place team by one point to capture our second IFA Redfish Tour Atlantic Division Title in a row. Now we have the IFA Championship in Orange Beach, Al where we will compete against the other 4 divisional winners for the national team of the year.
