Powder Puff Tournament

Port Aransas, TX

Needless to say this was an exciting day. I am yet again proud of the Hookset Women’s Team “Hook This”. The Girls gave it another good running, placing Second in two categories. The day started early for the women again. Lines in the water at 6:30, so we made the run south to the LLM. Picked up Eight Trout in the first 30 min on the Mid Coast MOJO’s, and as we were sitting there I noticed another boat get up. When they ran out of the cove a small School of Redfish got up as well. I tied the girls up with Gold Spoons and 4” gulps and off we went to find the school. On the first go all three of the girls doubled over, and the action never stopped all day. The girls landed 30 to 40 Redfish form 26”-34“with only one fish under 26”. I finally had to cut off the action to try to go catch a hardhead, needed for the stringer. I know, and yes I said hardhead, but keep in mind the hardhead pot was worth almost a $1000 so we put our pride aside and off to the cleaning tables we went. We caught over 100 hardheads in the last hour with the last one weighing 1.96lbs which was good enough for second place. They also had the runner up redfish of the tournament weighing 7.03 lbs. They just never could catch one with a big belly on him. But I am so proud of the women once again they have proven themselves to be true anglers. So, Happy Fishing and look for the girls again in September for the Saltwater Sweeties. Check out http://www.gulfcoastfishing.com/ for all the information on Powder Puff.
