Weighmaster Chuck Radloff reported that the 2019 Yearlong Tournament standings are official and the prizes have been ordered;

Choose to go north or south of Bings; north is better for Redfish and use live or frozen mullet or shrimp and fish near docks; south is better for Black Drum where you should use 1/4 oz jig head or crab lure or fish with crustaceans and in deep water due to the cold.

Rita Waddell and Dana Syens are running the 2020 Spring Classic and said the DAV will be the beneficiary; we will be participating in the CCA STAR Program.

Captain Britton brought along artificial bait to show how to hook live bait which he suggested using for this tournament to catch Black Drum and Redfish.

Captain Britton said he likes to use jig heads but that circle hooks are good; you need to match the size of the hook to the size of the bait you are using.
