    Default Reel American tourney report...

    Fished with a great crew today.. Gary aka team madness, Anthony aka yaz?? And my friends Lenny, Adam, and Tom. Fished NY where I have been killing Em all week and had a slow start.. Slow drift and no bite.. After a few adjustments we were on the fish.. 11 fish all 3 lbs or better. And two BIG sea bass With garys 6 1/2 beast and two 3 1/2 we were at 13 1/2 and were steaming in to weigh as first at that time was 13.1... After one last drift in the sh bay, we pulled into the marina, only to find out that third was already over 15.. Quick uturn and back to the dock with our heads up as we fished our as$es off today!

    Thanks to the reel madness crew!! Awesome fishing with you guys!!! Even when it was quiet

    fished gulp grubs/Mullets {all colors although white seemed to be outperforming the others} topped off with live peanuts and spot...

    We turned around right in front of you we got word on the weight of 3rd place and decided not to wait in that line of boats. We had a great day as far as keepers go but couldn't find the right 3 fish.

    That is a beautiful boat you have 1st time I seen it, What does it have in it for power? Awesome looking ride it looked great pulling in.

    Excellent power boat must ride like a dream, I'm off all next week also we might cross paths on the sticky stuff! Might has seabass on the schedule as they were biting good over the weekend.

    Good luck if you get offshore.
