We had 45 anglers show up today to fish the waters of Ft Desoto and South St Petersburg. This was the second event of the Paddle-Fishing.com Tournament Series 2009-2010. The format allowed the anglers to bring whatever they would like to fish with.
The day started off very nice with a little wind and nice incoming tide but eventually the fish won out with a pretty slow fishing day for all. There were no slams caught and in total only 4 redfish and 9 snook were caught by 45 anglers using whatever lure they wanted to. The top three slam winners took home cash and their choice of a Wang Anchor, a print from Finatic Designs or a Polar Bear Cooler.
First Place-Heywood with a snook/redfish combo of 45.5". He took home the Polar Bear Cooler and $225.00.
Second Place-SilverK with a snook/trout combo of 44.5". He took home the print from Finatic Designs and $135.00.
Third Place-SlikNik with a snook/trout combo of 42.5". He took home a Wang Anchor and $90.00.
