man i seen all the boats coming in yesterday when i was going. every one of them was wraped.......they had some fine boats out there

Who are the rest of the Louisiana guys? I looked at the roster on the HT website last night and recognized Rue and Poe.

Duce rods needs to pick it up. Good luck!

"W" are you fishing it? I have been trying to talk my buddy into fishing a redfish tournament. He says lets just go and fish. lol he just got a new Hanie cat too.

Not this year....We were going to try but I have a little one on the way and my partner was tied up with other things also.....Just feel at bad time...
Its 10Grand a year per team to fish the HT... We picked about 8Grand in sponsors before we deicded to hold off....

16.98 lbs. is nice sized pair of Reds.

That area ( Delacroix / hopedale) usually takes 16.5 -17 to win.
3 summers ago Charlie Thomason & Shane pescay weighed in 19 lbs and 21 lbs for the first 2 days; then lost in the 3 rd day by .25 oz.
That was the oberto redfish cup; which I'd now gone I believe.

Oberto Cup came to Lake Charles the same year Katrina hit.
Was supposed to be in Fla., but Katrina was going thru there,
so they moved it to Lake Charles.

it's random man!!!!

Lake charles was a regular stop for the Redfish cup.....

You forgot Jared Nixon

No I didn't :rolleyes:

That tournament was out of Biloxi (30" slot max), they ran back to DelaCroix. But big fish in that area.

Come on, you don't want to claim him? He represented yall well last year. Cashing a check during every event, I believe

Gotta be tough out there I bet that water is all up in the grass high!! With all the south winds we been having

Even with the weather this morning and yesterday, the fish were hungry!! Caught between 60-75 reds in two days of fishing. The first day we found some fat fish but we only found either 24 inchers or 30 inchers. I will have a full report soon. Make sure to check it out because we had a lot of good, bad and ugly happen to us since we got down here last Friday!!

Be sure to include the air boat story!! LMAO!!

O Ok,
The those guys make that run a lot.
The tourny i was referring to was out of D'Ibbervillle/ Biloxi.
A lot of the guys ran from there to Delacroix.
I ran my boat with an ESPN film crew for 4 days.
1 day just filming the area and 3 days of tourny action.
Very fun.
A few boats didn't make it across from Biloxi to Delacroix.
Hope all the guys had a safe trip this time!

Ok you probably did run your boat for the Chalmette tournament and they posted a day 1&2 weight of 15.95 & 16.64. Only to lose it to Scott Ritter and Bobby Abruscato after the weights zero'd on day three.

The tournament they posted 23&20lb stringers was in the Biloxi tournament. And yes guys do make that run a lot, Mobile to Biloxi marsh, Biloxi-DelaCroix. Hell I've made the run from Venice to Cocodrie. Not uncommon. Steckler and Lloyd ran from Chalmette to Dularge last year. But I really don't know what I'm talking about. Sorry.

The tourny I was referring to was won by chuck and cj Howard.
I can't remember the exact weights ; more I think about it I wanna say day 1 & day 2 for Thomason & pescay were 20+ and both records.
I do know that team frenette broke down on the way back and the Howard's brought mike back with em so they could make the weight in. Great show of sportsmanship. Team Howard barely made it back in time.

The final day I shadowed team Howard with a photographer and video guy.
They worked one area and caught some nice fish.

But I really don't know what I'm talking about. Sorry.
What u saying?????

Nothing.... I got mixed up with the tournaments and had to look it up.

The link I provided shows results from '09. Tough year for Charlie and Shane. Held lead through 2 tournaments on both days, only to lose it on the final day when weights zero'd. Still managed to out catch the competitions 3 days weight total for both tournaments.

Charlie is a good angler and a great guide. I went on many charters with Charlie and his guides while I was n college. Always had fun and loaded the boat fast!

So from a tourny view, what are the big redfish tournys now?

Money wise HT, I don't see it lasting as long as the IFA has been around. Angler participation wise IFA redfish tour. Gaining most popularity Louisiana Saltwater Series.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:rolleyes:

:rasberry:

Not that year. It was moved from Fla. to Lake Charles due to Katrina.

Congrats to my boy Sean O'Connell! Coming from behind and beating out the best, it couldn't have happened to a better person.

Sean is definitely a first class guy. Glad to see him with the Win!
