Had the FSOS tourney today with the regular crew of Larry, Fred, Ryan and Brian along with Kenny and I.
Broke the inlet early and had lines in around 6 am. Got a great sunrise to start the day :) Fishing to start off was a pick, and we had some nice fish flying over the rails early.
At around 7 Fred decked a personal best, 8.55# fluke - congrats Fred!!! We continued to pick, slowly, and were putting a nice catch together. Once we stopped getting bites, we moved to another piece, and got a few more, and it was that way until around 10 AM.
At 10 we made a move to deeper water offshore, but that simply stunk as we had just a couple of shorts.
So, we moved back inshore to finish up the day. Got some more keepers, quite a few more shorts, and finally got a real good bite going at the very end of the day before we had to shoot in for weigh-ins where Kenny got a nice 6# fish + 4 more keepers to top off the box.
When we weighed in Fred's 8.55#er was 3rd, but since then I believe that has changed. Either way, great fish and congrats to Fred. Ryan, Brian and Fred all had limits +, Kenny caught his limit, while Larry and I also put some nice fish in the box. We wound up easily boxing a boat limit of fluke + (probably had ~36 keepers for the day) keeping only our legal limit.
Great day fluking with some great friends. Back at it tomorrow, hope it holds up!!
