04 Oct 2008

Capt. D.P. and I, along with Capt. Lance Powers and our friend Kevin left Pensacola at 0030 headed for Venice, La. Other than a blown tire, that we changed like a NASCAR pit crew, the ride over was fairly uneventful even though no one slept.


Pre-fishing for the Oberto Qualifier was today's game and I must say we played rather well. 25 or so Redfish found their way into the net, our two best were good for 15.5lbs. Two solid fish, and we still had a little room for improvement!


The fishing was excellent, along with our Redfish we also caught 4 or 5 Speckled Trout. Aside from being stuck on a mud flat for an hour it was a great day, we even hooked fish while we were stuck! I can't wait to get back over there and do some more prep work! On a sadder note, many of the spots we wanted to check were totally out of water due to a low tide and a north wind. I guess that gives us a real good excuse to go back...soon.


18 days until Tournament Day...and counting!
