The Inshore Fishing Association (IFA) made it's annual stop in Charleston March 20, and it was quite a tournamnent for the 67 angler teams that participated. First place went to first-time IFA competitors Captain Richard Stoughton and Durrette Wooten, of Team www.renkenboatcenter.com who caught all their fish on Z-Man fishing lures. Stoughton's two fish went 4.17 and 4.93 pounds respectively for a winning total of 9.10 pounds of redfish, that won his team a brand new Ranger Banshee boat equipped with a Yamaha motor. That's the way to begin a tournament fishing career!
A father and son team took second place when Captain Ron Davis teamed up with son Caleb. Their two-fish limit weighed 8.97 lbs. The third place team of Captain Chris Wilson and Chuck DeLorme's also weighed 8.97 lbs of fish, but the tie-breaker was determined by biggest fish, with Caleb's 4.83 lb redfish besting Captain Chris Wilson's 4.63 lb big fish.
Captain Stephen Fields and Jeff Crumpton of Fernandina Beach, Florida finished in 4th place weighing in a total of 8.93 lbs. (4.60 and 4.33). They caught fish all day, using Big Bite (BioBait) jerk minnows. They have had three top ten finishes to start the IFA season.
Finishing in seventh place was Capt. Rick Patterson and John Hislop of Carteret County, North Carolina when they weighed in two fish with a combined weight of 8.72-pounds. Fishing in N.C.? - then visit www.capecrusadercharters.com for the latest fishing reports.
