We put our time in and fished hard and fortunately it payed off for us in the long run. Nolan, Rudy, Jon, and I teamed up to fish the 2014 Catching For Kids Rockfish Tournament. The rules stated that "lines in" began at 9:00pm after the captains meeting so we elected to take advantage and fish through the night into the next morning. We fished really hard and battled through some pretty terrible current condition through the whole night and didn't have a single bite. Once the sun came up we headed over to the Eastern Shore to give the second leg of our race a shot. A lot like the night before, there wasnt much going on. We weren't marking much bait and the fish just weren't cooperating for us. But we weren't giving up we kept on grinding it out. We made a couple moves and things started looking up for us with good bait and fish marks we knew it was going to eventually turn on. With not much time left in the tournament we caught the break we were looking for and Jon landed a really nice Rockfish 51.5" 48lbs! So we felt really good that fish would place us in the tournament. With the clock steadly ticking we needed one more nice fish for the 2 fish Calcutta. With less than 15 minutes to spare we were blessed with another really solid fish that was 48" 42.36 lbs We rushed to the weigh in where we were fortunate enought to take first place overall and win the Calcuttas. It was a rewarding trip and another great tournament finish in 2014 with some great friends! Thanks for everyone that help put the tournament together it was for a great cause and I will defiantly be fishing it again next year.
Give us a call and lets go fishing! You might catch a fish of a lifetime!
