The weather was not nearly as good as advertised and the fishing was very tough, but still good to get back on the water for our first Emerald Coast Redfish Circuit – Pro Series Tournament.

The Calcutta for big Trout went to Fred/Carter (1.81 lbs); most spots to Bobby/Matt (9) and 2nd to Robert/Bobby (4); and the mystery weight winner was Fred/Carter. For the Calcutta’s, we voted to replace the Big Redfish with a mystery weight, but since there were only 4 entrants in the mystery weight, we are going to go back to the Big Redfish Calcutta for next tournament. Thanks to everyone for braving the crappy weather and fishing with us…really hope to see all of you again for the rest of our tournaments. Our next tournament will be March 28 will be in Navarre followed by the Delacroix, LA event on April 11 (see other thread for details on that).
Thanks, Mike
