Barta Tournament Report – July 15 & 16

So my nephews came in to fish the Barta Tournament with me and we had substantial hopes of taking them offshore for the first time. Unfortunately the forecast was not hunting like it was gonna allow us get offshore, but we were able be a part of the inshore division of the tournament – chasing Spanish Macks, Bluefish and pinfish.

So at the crack of 0745 we pulled out of the slip to a brisk East NE breeze and headed toward the inlet.

The call of &quotlines in&quot comes just prior to we attain the inlet, so I pulled again the throttles and we set a five line distribute for Spanish… 15 minutes in and we pick up three fish – My nephews are fired up, birds are diving, fish are breaking all around us – during the day we picked up a number of far more and equally boy had been asking to go offshore – so I pointed the boat towards the sea bouy – and they obtained quiet as it received rougher – no issue, aimed it again in and caught a few much more fish prior to lines out.

We had sufficient fish to weigh in – so a fairly god Day one…

Saturday morning the wind is a bit brisker out of the east but we stick to the exact same approach and choose a very good scattering of spanish and blues – the two our tournament quarry – and present day fish are a bit larger than yesterday – perhaps we have a possibility to get on the leader board…

That was not to be, but the boys had a great 2 days of fishing and are ready to arrive back and go offshore to catch &quotbig&quot fish
