Thank You IRBA!

Usually size matters in tournies... Not in all ways though....

Though the turn out was fairly low. The quality of this event was second to none. Cowboy, the people of Indian River Boating Association, the facility of Indian River Marina rally put on a first class event...
My crew a couple men short of a full crew but Blackwatch 26, Beatsworkin, and Scotty2 made up for it in spades with their enthusiasm...Day one we had good water but very little big enough to eat the blue marlin spread we had decided to go with. A lone mahi tried to tackle a bait nearly as big as himself and wound up being bridled as a trolling bait later in the day. The asame fate befell an overzealous skippie... It was late in the day when the water parted and we bowed up a 50lb yellowfin. At least we got the chance to head for weigh in. We sat in third with that one for a while before getting bumped to fourth by the last boat in...
Day two we hit the same area only to find green water. There were scattered signs of bait but the radio indicated very few fish. From the Baltimore down past the deep of Poormans was slow to cough up any fish. We managed a weighing class dolphin and some skippies but that was it.
Dinner last night of shrimp, clams, chicken and other goodies was a good as it gets! I want to congratulate Box, Tim, and the crew of the Foolish Pleasure on their dolphin that nudged ours out of the money. I again want to thank Cowboy for the use of his great boat and thank my crew for being so hard working...

Ya win some and ya lose some!!
Still a good day on the water with friends Deep!!
Maybe next year will be your year.......who knows!!

I dunno... Fishing was slow all over but we did ok I guess... I just wish the pointy ones and some good water would show up... I'm happy with our finish and a fair season so far... but it would be nice if we could get some better water, and a few more important for fish for the good people I have been fishing with.

I should have tossed out another thank you to Chuck and Mary at Off The Hook B+T for once again providing some top quality bait... So I'll do it now...

It was a good tournement and a good set up. Thankyou cowboy for putting it on and i look forward in participating in it again next year.

Deep do you think Scotty would have used the harness for that bad ass skippy?
Again, thanks for the 110% ,

Thanks Gary and all others who helped organize and run this tournament. I am sure it will be even better next year. It was good to finally meet the Box and Whitey. It is always nice to place a name with a face. Good luck next week to ALL!

IRBA and Cowboy,

Thanks for a great time this weekend, I realy enjoyed fishing the White Marlin Warmup...

Deep sorry for bumping your tuna out on friday...

It was great to meet Deep and Box, two world class gentlemen...

[Deep C]

Good meeting you there along with everyone....

Despite best efforts this bridaled skippie just wasn't the right "hail Mary"...


Teasers paid a heavy price from dolphin, that one whiite, and a mystery one that got my rubber hoos and bowling pin...
