First Lutes Tourney of 2012 // 2.25.2012
Here is my take on the first tourney. I set my alarm for 3:55am and woke at 8:00
. We launched at Lutes and were on the water by 11:00am
.
The wife and I still made it out and managed to fish only two spots before we headed back in. Spot #1, goose egg. Corndog was also at spot #1 and I believe he picked up a red worth a little spending money. Spot #2 was perfect. Glass calm and quiet. We saw some bait flicking the surface and then we saw what was responsable for the commotion. A fat speck broke the surface and rolled like a whale through the bait. It's big fat belly lazily arched out of the water as the speck rose and then dove back down. I have never see a speck do that before. We chased specks in spot #2 for about one hour, but couldn't get a taker. It was time to head in for a good seat at the weigh-in.
The highlight of the trip was the weigh-in. My old buddy ShallowSport68 made it out with his son. I finally got to meet Gulfcoast13, Mad Mike and Shortystillsurfs. Jocues, Dennis Strickland and Justin turned in a few. Ibtsoom was also at the weigh-in sport the FWE colors. The honorary "King of the Bayou" for the first tourney goes to txkngfish. This guy's steering cable failed and he fished no more than 200 yards from Lutes and HE STILL WON MONEY!!!!!!! Great job James!!!!! I saw corndog holding a little green from a red he turned in. At the time my wife and I signed up, there were 65 entries. Thanks to Cody and Barbara and the rest of the Lutes team for hosting the event. As always, Muddskipper, we appreciate the time you put in to putting on such a fine event.
See you guys on the water!!!!
