3rd Place in Savannah GA IFA Redfish Tour event!

We started off the IFA Redfish Tour tournament season Saturday with a big 3rd place finish in Savannah GA.  We fished all week in just about every condition from sunny skies and light winds to 30mph wind and rain.  We found about 12 schools of redfish in one general area but the bite was very slow with cool water temps and crystal clear water.  Not to mention patterning the fish with the big 6 to 7 foot tides.  The morning was slow going with several over the slot fish but we managed a 23 and 21 inch fish.  We headed to our last spot knowing they would be eating on the high tide and were able to pull out over 20 fish and upgraded our 21 incher twice to give us reds measuring 23 and 22.5 inches.  They ended up weighing 8.89 lbs good for 3rd place and only .02 lb behind 2nd.  A great start to the '11 season and our quest for a 3peat as Division Team of the Year.  The Charleston SC event is next in June and then Surf City NC in September.  Congrats to all the other NC teams that represented down in GA!
