Branson Baits Owners takes 2nd Place out of 185 anglers!

Branson Baits was at one of the largest inshore tourneys on the West Coast this weekend. Give Me Shelter GS9 at Shelter Cove, CA. We sold a bunch of baits and met a bunch of guys who really like what we're doing. With 185 anglers competing it was a blast and yet very competitive. Start was at sunrise and it was already snotty. I fished a bit south of the cove in 80' of water. The wind was blowing 20+ mph with 1 - 2 wind waves. It was rough to say the least. My partner, Justin Hayes and I decided to head more north to be safe. I finally found some good fish about 2 miles north of the cove in about 30 of water. I radioed Justin over and we went to work.. The Sea Slug did it's job, boating almost 10 lings up to 29". I also caught a new personal best black rockfish at 20.5 inches at about 7lbs. I caught a CA limit of 5 and none were smaller than 18", that's a 20lb stringer of quality rock fish!
Sad to say, I did miss a couple really good fish and a monster ling at the boat very late in the day, but that's fishin' not catchin'. Anyways, I finished in 2nd place and actually tying my partner who also fished a Branson Tourney Sea Slug. We also won the team competition! Great payday no doubt!

Look out this year Branson Baits are taking it!
