PFTS #5 – My Lure is Better than Your Lure

The final event of the series is was held on Saturday, April 2, 2011. The launch area for this event was extra large, ranging from the Manatee River to the Ringling Bridge in Sarasota. The format was simple. Pick your confidence lure and use it all day. You can bring as many of them as you like but you can only use that one lure type all day. For example, if you picked a red 1/8 Slayer Jig head with Exude baby bass color plastic tail, that was all you could use.

The day started off a bit chilly but quickly turned into a beautiful Florida spring day. Bright sun, a wind that slowed to a breeze and temperatures that didn’t wear you out early. This is the time to fish in Florida!

The Pic n’ Sip was held at Tequila Beach on Manatee Avenue in Bradenton. This is one of our favorite spots that we return to every year.

The results showed that this is a great time to go fishing in Florida. We had 42 anglers compete and 7 of them caught a Redfish, Trout, Snook slam. Virtually everyone caught fish during the day.

Here are the results.

Slam Division:


1st Place – TerryB with a 69 inch slam. Terry took home $210 and a Polar Bear cooler
2nd Place – Bigfish171 (Dave) with a 55 inch slam. Dave took home $126 and a Wang Anchor
3rd Place – DaveR (Legend) with a 53 inch slam. Dave took home $84 and a Finatic Designs print

Trout Division:

1st Place – Noles (Phinla) with a 24 inch trout. Phinla walked away with a gift certificate from Masthead Enterprises.
2nd Place – 13 (Justin) with a 24 inch trout. Justin took home a gift certificate from Canoe Country.
3rd Place – ChisR with a 21.5 inch trout. Chis in now wearing a Paddle-Fishing.com hat.

Redfish Division:

1st Place – Heywood (Bill) with a 28” redfish. Bill has a gift certificate for Dogfish tackle to spend.
2nd Place – Tide1on (Steve) with a 23.5 inch redfish. Steve is now wearing a Paddle-Fishing.com shirt.
3rd Place – Dirksfishing (Derrick) with a 22 inch redfish. Derrick is the proud recipient of the PFTS Perpetual Jug Trophy.

The brothers Llewellyn and home boy Mark put on a great show aa usual. Thank you all for all the work you do. Great to be back on then water with my buddy John. Fishing was tougher than I thought it was going to be. I caught exactly three fish. Just lucky they were the right kind.
Thanks again fellas. We know what hard work and sometimes a pain in the ass theses things are. Looking forward to next season.

I've said it before but the real thanks go out to those who attend the events. Without the attendees, Todd, Mark and I would be sitting there, lonely, bored and not getting to look at all your personal pics on your camera chips.

We do this so that you guys can have a good time. The real thanks go to all who have attended. Without you, the PFTS is nothing.

Thank you!

Thanks for a great time. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.

I always look forward to the PFTS leg in my home waters. I was fortunate to anchor my slam with a very chunky redfish, one of two about the same size that fell to my Baby Bass Exude.

Congrats to everyone that enjoyed a first class event, and special kudos to my buddies TerryB, Native1, Dirksfishing and Dano. It was great to see everyone catch fish, especially the two who made their maiden voyage today.

Great event as always. Thanks again to all the sponsors and staff that put these fun events together.

I've seen a lot of things at these events but today beat out all others...
Pre-dawn at the launch, John and Dave are taking pictures of each others bare butts. Later I hear they were seen coming out of the mangroves together. :shock:
Jeff outfished me. WTF?
And then there was this guy...

We thought the judges would enjoy a departure from the mundane job of looking through the shots of boats at the launch. Braveheart Salute!
