First Annual Port Isabel Classic

Despite winds up to 40 mph, Team Uno Mas fared fairly well. We were on the leader board for a while. We weighted in one 25.7" red and an 18" trout. We were booted out by some bait soaking guides who cleaned the board.
This was the first tournament for this group and there were lots of things they could have done to make it better.We made a number of suggestions.
They needed more clarification for the Calcutta division ahead of time. It was an individual tournament with entry fees at $125 and Calcutta fees at $200 (all divisions), It was fairly expensive.
We recommended a team format and giving prizes to first -third places.
Keeping the entry fee at $125 and reducing the Calcutta to $200 per team (up to 4 team members).
Putting in a 25" trout limit.
Making a special guides division. As we saw the guides walk off with all the cash it makes you not want to fish these types of events,
A special artificial bait only division....Gulp allowed!
Oh well probably wont happen, but we do have a number of local tournaments that are formatted as above and they are a lot of fun.

As far as the fishing, we prefished on Friday and managed a 27" trout from Mexiquito flats and then went into South Bay and picked up three limits of reds. The biggest there was 28" on the dot. We figured we had it figured out, but mother nature upset our plans. Its tough fishing with those kinds of winds hitting you in the back. We fished hard! Ended the day with the two fish above and two more keeper reds.
Its hard fishing chocolate milk colored water with lures, even Gulp.

But better days are not far off! See ya on the LLM, Wave when you see Uno Mas!
