unior Angler Team

By Christopher Sprague Chris!

Hello anglers, I hope you all have been able to get out on the water and enjoy the beautiful weather! Now that summer is approaching, we are starting to get the calm seas and blue skies. Lately, the fishing has been hot! We fished the Fort Pierce Invitational Kingfish Tournament recently. It was a 2-day tournament, and the kingfishing was red hot at this one spot up North around Jupiter Pier. On the first day, we got so many fish, it was nonstop action, however, none of the fish were anything super good. Our first bite of the day was our best, we had a screaming run only 15 minutes after the tournament started and then whatever was at the end of the line cut straight through the wire. This was a horrible feeling; we knew it was likely a wahoo or a monster kingfish. We kept getting bites later, but they were all in the mid 20-pound range and we probably got 20 fish throughout the day. It was madness, we would get fish after fish and our main concern was if we were going to run out of bait. We hoped day 2 would provide us with some better fish, but unfortunately, we did not get anything great. We got even less fish than the day before, and it was another day that we couldn’t pull out any fish above the mid 20’s. Even though we didn’t win, I do have to say that this was one of the most thrilling tournaments I have ever fished. We had 2 of the most action-packed days and made so many memories with the team, hopefully next tournament we can get a bigger one!
