Fished the CCA Open to try something a little different. This tournament came down to five fish - three reds closest to 30", largest speckled trout, and largest sheepshead. Conditions were really tough as we had copious amounts of rain on the coast but tried my best to get all the fish knocked off on whatever googan techniques I employed!
