Lousiana Trip

Jason Broach, John Hoke and I headed up to LA for the IFA Kayak Fishing Championship on Oct 30th. The plan was to pre-fish two days before the two day tournament. After the 12hr drive and nice traffic ticket, we arrived in Chalmette. First day of pre-fishing wasn't looking good. I was the only one to even catch a fish. Day 2 turned out a lot better as we were able to locate reds and trout. I ended up catching my personal best Redfish at 38.75". When the first day of the tournament came around we were pretty confident. Well when the day ended I sat in lower 20th place. We were able to catch two fish, but couldn't get on the big reds. Day two of the tournament started great by landing both fish in the first hour including a 21" trout which is big for the area. By 10am I had upgraded my Red to 34.75", but was still looking to upgrade as we were on a school of large reds. The day ended with no upgrade. I was a little disappointed, but for never fishing the area i could not complain. I ended up 14th overall and Jason squeaked into 13th. Great time with good friends.
