Congratulations go out to my buddy Adam Ellis and his crew who fished the Flint Steelheader tournament in St. Joe last weekend. Adam told me "Our goal this year was to place in a tournament, and we took 5th place in the very first one." They ran out the night before for a quick shakedown trip and took 9 fish in an hour and half. Unfortunately, the fish moved deeper overnight and most boats struggled. Adam picked away at them and rounded up enough to clinch their impressive 5th place finish. The hottest bait for the weekend was an unidentified pale yellow spoon (picked up on sale) fished behind three colors of leadcore. Adam also reported that “the water was flat all weekend, and the when we were on fish they seemed to like it a little faster... The ideal speed was around 3 mph according to the Sub-Troll and direction didn't seem to matter too much.”
