Sound reports and upcomming tournaments
We have had some weather this last week with hard winds and thunderstorms so I have had to cancel a couple trips. I have fished by myself a few times this week though and had pretty good luck. The first day I caught 4 speckled trout, 4 flounder, and 1 drum for a SLAM. The second day I caught 1 trout, 1 20″ striper, and a 23″ drum for a SLAM. Then on the 3rd day I caught 4 flounder, 4 drum, and 1 trout for a SLAM. Thats not bad, 3 SLAMS in 3 days. Yesterday I only caught 3 flounder. There are a couple of tournaments coming up. The first I am going to mention is this coming weekend here on the OBX. This is a sound tournament and you can use a kayak, boat, or wade fish in the sound if you want. This is a sslam tournament with drum, trout, bluefish, and flounder for the eligible species. Cost is $100 per person and it will be a good tournament with some great door prizes. Go to HATTERAS JACK’S for more deatils and rules. The second is coming up September 26 and will be based out of Norfolk, VA. This is the Tidewater Kayak Anglers Association’s 5th annual “fishing for charity” tournament benifiting Project Healing Waters and Heros on the Water. This should be a big tournament. The entry is $60 per person and the first 100 entrants get a complimentary “captain’s bag” full of goodies. For more information on this tournamnet go to the TKAA TOURNAMENT PAGE.
