First off congrats to Barry for finding and catching fish on both days and winning the tourney!

It was great seeing everyone as usual and it was great meeting Barry and Chris.

Flats here is my report. I know you asked yesterday for some patterns and details. I had horrible reception at camp site.

Had a tough day today. I wasn't really able to establish a pattern. First 2 fish were caught on a uvibe on the bottom in a mix of grass pads.
Third fish was on the uvibe swimming it.
The biggest of today was lost near the boat that one also hit the vibe swimming it.
The fourth fish was caught on a swimbait as I reeled it just past a hydrilla field and let it drop then started reeling again.

Yesterday was a much better day. Most of the fish that were cookie cutter were caught swimming the vine. I believe I had caught a total of 8 fish.
The two biggest that measured 23" each were caught with the same bait but not swimming it.
As we came up on a big patch with sparse sawgrass clumps and hydrilla mixed I noticed one of the sawgrass bunches tick and shift. But not from wind.
I was using my new Shimani Stradic Ci + on an avid x my 20lb  braid, 3/0 hook and 1/16oz bullet weight.
I cast to the clump let the worm drop. Moments later I felt the line get heavy. Hauled in my new pb 6lbs 5oz .
Looking for the same deal I made several casts to different clumps on the outside edge.
Same technique and not 5 min i hauled in the other 23" this one weighed in just under 6lbs

Caught a few smaller fish in that same area but was unable to find more of those 6lbers.

Thanks for the report Rick and congratulation on your two fer. A new PB and biggest fish of the classic

Yeah lip problem with play by play is when you have 1 hour less to fish and you have no pattern, and no fish of the size you need to contend you forget about posting lol

Catching fish in the 15" and 14" range and no limit the thing is get that bait back in the water and try and maximize your chances.
Sorry for the lack of play by play we wanted to lol
