Day 1:
Its a big weekend for Team Fishing4Tails…consisting of Jared Briskin and a new member Arnaldo Desousa . With our Game plan set to make a long run from Whitby to fish the Toronto Island we were charged and ready to go!!…Blast Off was at 5:15 AM adenaline pumping as the horn goes off!! We motored the 30 miles to our spot beating the pack as we averaged 46 mph on the way there . My team had the lines down within few minutes of arriving on our spot and it didn’t take long as we boated 5 keepers within the first hour of fishing…we were on the bite . We took over 20 + hits ( shots ) that day and boating 13 most of them quality tournament fish…we were pretty happy !! We had to be in port by 2 pm so by 12:30 we packed up and drove back to Whitby With our nice catch in the livewell.
Day one weight-in: We loaded the cooler in line for the weight-inwith our 5 biggest salmon. As Arnaldo said it that morning “i got a feeling “…it felt good as most boats didn’t get there 5 fish limit . After a nail biting hour the results were in …..3 rd place day one !!! Wow Team Fishing4tails was sitting pretty good with one more day to go!!
Day 2 :
Back on the water for blast off at 5:15 with the same game plan to run to the island…but…this time every boat in the field was pointing in the same direction as the Toronto Island …No problem were are in third place fastest boat in the field and still had that good feeling. We ran a little faster on day 2 to the Toronto Island to separate us from the other boats…lines in and fishing with 6 rods pulling our rigs !! once again We had our box within the hour or so and upgraded our fish all morning …taking over 20+ shots again and landing 14 fish…..Most of the pack fished right beside us on day 2 but our game plan was so solid were didn’t even care what they were catching or not catching …being focused on your tournament days pays off!! speed and color was key to that day as well as lure depth. My Team again was top notch for fighting and landing the ones we needed for the tournament. We again packed up with enough time for us to run 30 miles back to Whitby…. in the pier heads by 2 pm weight-in at 3 pm
Day 2 weight-in:
On day 2 weight-in we were placed in the back of the line as the top teams would weight in last…as we placed third the day before we were third last to weight-in….it was getting close …most teams again didn’t get a good box . We had a great box for day 2 so our confidence was way up!! now our turn …..with 2 more teams to go. After the other teams weight-in we moved up one spot to 2nd place for King of the Lakes…taking home a nice cheque and trophy!!!gotta thanks my team again for a great weekend on getting the fish to the boat!!!!
