    Trophy DU tourn. report

    2 days of beautiful weather for starters was a welcome sight. Fishing this year was slower than past years but still good. 73 boats fished last i heard Elson on the Outer Limits from Manteo won. We fished up on the 800 line Friday working 40-100 fathoms up to the 850. We hooked up a little after 9 on a sailfish after he came in on the right short releasing him after a short several minute fight. We didn't see any other billfish the rest of the day had several whoo cutoffs and caught one hoo 22.5 lbs. Going into saturday we were 7th in points and we went up to the 900 line 50 fathoms. Just inshore in 35 fathoms we crossed a nice grass/current edge 2 deg. change so we stopped to fish there first. After a couple of hours pounding the cold side first then the hot side we only caught a few mahis and had several wahoo bite offs but no bills. Fished offshore over the 110 out to 150 fathoms then just before lines out at 2 we had a sniff 1:55 to be exact came in on the left teaser Derek went pick him off and a piece of grass fouled on the circle hook watched the sail fade off as i made a turn to port then i hear Sean holler that there is another fish following right long he feeds him as i continue to keep my turn then were tight hooked up 1:58 then released at 2:04 he got alot of line out while we tried to pick up the other fish in the turn. A good ending to the weekend and a nice little birthday present to me from my crew to bad we didn't get another sniff from #2 that would have put us in the money 2nd or 3rd maybe. Always next year though Congrats to Elson on the Outer Limits and the Blounts on the Barbara B. Bill, Glenn, Mike, and BTH nice to meet you guys and pretty work on your fishing this weekend hope to see you again in MHC in a week or 2.

    Unoficially Jeff was leading the under 40 category so i would think he did win it.

    Nice work, John. Good report and too bad that last sail wouldn't bite. It was fun fishing along with you and great chatting at the dock. Good weekend all around.
