After a successful trip the week before, we took the boat out again to compete in the Boatyard Bar & Grill's Spring Fishing Tournament. We caught 4 good sized fish for the day from 32" to the largest (our second of the day) at 43". This fish was big enough for us to claim 3rd place in the Tournament!

Full credit goes to angler Pat Scida, who supplied most of the fishing knowledge and all of the fishing gear onboard. Thanks to Bill Corsini, who crewed for us during the tournament and netted the trophy fish. And obviously plenty of credit should also go to the boat's designer, Kurt Cerny, of Cerny Yacht Design. Beers at the after-party were well earned!

We were pretty impressed with our little boat and it's ability to raise fish. Remember, it measures at less than 16' long with just an 40 hp outboard. We were trolling only 4 rods, with white and chartreuse umbrella rigs behind us. We had no electronics installed (other than a tachometer) and we were using a Navionics iPhone app for all of our navigation. Not bad, considering the trophy rockfish was just the third fish ever brought into the boat.

A big Thank You goes out to all of the Tournament sponsors, especially to the Boatyard Bar & Grill and to Anglers' Sport Center. (Both establishments are well worth a visit) To see the list of all of the other generous sponsors, check out our links pages.
