[D3NAL1]

Guys! Atlantic Coastal Tackle Company will be on site during the tournament with some rods, reels, and tackle on site specifically for perch. so in case you need some extra gear! Ron has the best prices around and if you are seeking a specific product, send me a pm so i can advise him ahead of time.

Didn't get out to fish this week. I'll still be there Saturday and I talked to the guy who's number was listed. He said check in starts at around 6:till about 7:30 and you don't have to launch there you can fish anywhere. Be back for weigh in by 2:30. He said fish scoring will be a point per ounce and a point per 16th of an inch I guess. I don't know how many fish will be scored but will find out at check in I guess.

D3NAL1 if he brings any light or ultra light rods in the 6 to 7 ft range I'd have trouble saying no. Haha. I'm a gear junkie. You should have never told me now I know to bring extra money.��

I thought i had you on the list. Yes, you can launch anywhere as long as you make it back. Yes, it will be by points. Not sure on how many fish, id assume 4 or 5 depending on how many people show up. Perch are everywhere though, it will come down to who runs into the bigger ones. Hope to meet you all there.

yup, i actually just got back from his house. I got an Ardent Bolt reel, idk if any of you are familiar with Ardent's new lineup. they are super smooth and saltwater does not affect them. ill have them at the tournament site so you can try them out afterwards.

Awesome. Sounds like it this is going to be a great time! Hope to meet some of yall there too. Also it is the best out of 4 fish

tournament turned out great, not sure who else showed up besides Ronault, Tom, Dsmdave and Vhendrix since I left around 630 am.

no kayakers placed in the top three of the main tournament.

But claiming the top spots and prizes from PAC paddle sports were

1st - D3nal1
2nd - Bryan (not on snaggedline)
3rd - Ronalutmtd

I have a mess of about 40 perch and one 22 inch rockfish in my cooler. I managed to catch some flounder, croaker, puppy drum, and rockfish on my ultra light perch rig. great day on the water.

Dsmdave, ill be updating my signature shortly haha

Not sure about everyone else, 2 of my four were pushing 12 inches then 10.5s. 10.5s were the normal

Bill placed 2nd overall- he fished with a friend in a boat today instead of his Revo, so all in all Snaggedline was well represented- I had four fish measures/weighed for a points system- 11 1/16, 11, 10 & 10...

[Dsmdave]

Yeah it was a fun time even with my baby perch I caught haha.

[ronaultmtd]

It was nice meeting you and other Snagged line members I had not met before- the very low tide at sunrise, Saturday boat traffic, time of day we had to fish and check in were not ideal, but we all had the same handicaps...

Not sure where or how everyone catches the big perch. I haven't target WP much but thought I'd have fun trying. I registered and was fishing around 7:45. Caught about 20 all under 8", a couple small rockfish and a half decent crocker on the small crank bait I was using. Then once again a surprise Rock, kayak in 1.5 feet of water casting to a downed tree. Was mostly admiring the fact that I didn't plant it in the branches when BAM a 23" Rock hit and screamed the drag out for a good 5 seconds. Managed to land it with 6 pound mono test took a quick measurement and released him. That made my day!
