Our February 2011 tournament was held at the Miami-Garcia Impoundment on 27th. The fish were in an aggressive mood and nine of the ten competing teams took advantage using their skills to bring tournament limits of five fish to the scales. Larry Cruce of Titusville and Tim Iler of Port St. John totaled 19.02 pounds to win the tournament. Alan Elder of Melbourne and Wayne Smith of Palm Bay took second with a total of 14.15 pounds. Jimmy Blount of Rockledge and Richard Boogaerts of Cocoa finished a close third with 14.03 pounds. A total of six fish over four pounds where weighed with a solid 5.25 pounder earning Larry big bass of the day.

The winners reported catching their fish using the following tricks:

  • 1st place and big bass: flukes (rumor has it that a mystery top water bait may have also contributed)
  • 2nd place: flukes
  • 3rd place: flukes
