Alexander/Alexander Wins IFA Redfish Tour in Port Aransas

The husband-and-wife team stayed close to the take off at Port Aransas.

“It was a great day of fishing,” said James Alexander. “With the first cast with a four-inch Berkley Gulp with rattle attached, my wife caught a 28 1/4-inch redfish. Everything got better after that. We caught a ton of fish, mostly oversized but the right ones too.”

The duo switched back and forth from the Berkley Gulp! 4-inch softbait and Berkley crankbaits. For their efforts, the team took home a total of $30,285 in winnings, including $2,535 in Anglers Advantage cash and the $500 Berkley Big Redfish award along with $250 in Berkley Gulp! products courtesy of Berkley Gulp!.

“We performed well and did not lose any fish,” said James Alexander. “I am very proud of my wife. She caught one of the winning fish.”

Michael Laskowski Sr. and Michael Laskowski Jr., both of La Verna, Texas, weighed a total of 16.22 pounds to take second place. The team ran to Aransas Pass to fish flooded grass with Berkley Gulp! under popping corks under ideal conditions.

“We were needing and hoping for the exact conditions we ended up with,” said Laskowski Sr. “It was nice to have low wind for a change. Everything went great. We caught a few bigger fish while pre-fishing but are thrilled with what we caught today.”

The father and son won the $2,528 second-place prize along with adding $1,235 in Anglers Advantage cash.

Former IFA Team of the Year titleholders, Mason Lincoln and Melissa Lincoln, both of Corpus Christi, Texas, weighed 15.46 pounds for a third-place finish. The anglers also experienced great conditions with light winds and high tides while fishing soft plastics in the Laguna Madre area. The team won a total of $2,540 for their limit.

The next stop for the IFA Redfish Tour is set for New Smyrna Beach, Florida, on April 13. Teams that compete in at least two regular-season events will be qualified for the 2019 IFA Redfish Tour Championship.

IFA events are made possible through the sponsorship and continued support of these well-respected brands: Hobie Fishing, Ranger Boats, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Mercury Marine, Garmin, Berkley Gulp!, Berkley Gulp!

Team Forbes/Collins Wins IFA Redfish Tour Event at Port Aransas, Texas

Anglers win more than $29,000 in winnings

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (September 17, 2020) –  Nate Forbes and Mitchell Collins, both of Port Aransas, Texas, weighed a two-fish limit that totaled 17.78 pounds to win the final regular-season event for the Texas Division of the IFA Redfish Tour presented by Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s on September 12, at Port Aransas, Texas. The team won a fully rigged Ranger RB190 boat prize package powered by a 90-horsepower, four-stroke Mercury outboard.

The anglers ran seven to 10 miles to fish Shamrock Cove for their limit. Keeping an eye out for schooling fish, the team threw gold spoons, Berkley Gulp! and other soft plastics. Their 10.49 lunker earned the $500 Berkley Gulp! Big Redfish award while participating in the Anglers Advantage contingency program added $2,100 in cash for a total of $29,600 in winnings.

Second-place finishers Chris Smith, of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Blake Trevino, of Friendswood, Texas, brought 17.59 pounds to the scales. They duo encountered better-than-expected conditions on their 60-mile run north of the launch in search of clean water. Smith and Trevino sight-fished with soft plastics and earned $2,135 for their limit.

IFA Redfish Tour veterans and previous Tour winners Russel O’Riley, of Portland, Texas, and Corey Survant, of Corpus Christi, Texas, weighed 16.37 pounds of redfish to take the $1,164 third-place prize. The anglers also added $1,050 in Anglers Advantage cash.

Running approximately 30 miles, the anglers found fish feeding better in dirty water and were biting Berkley Gulp! and other soft plastics.

“Our pattern was to fish dirty water adjacent to a clean flat,” said O’Riley. “The fish would relax when they entered the dirty water. We are very pleased with our weight. We made good choices and were happy with the fish we targeted.”

The next stop for the IFA Redfish Tour is set for Empire, Louisiana, on October 10.  Teams that compete in at least two regular-season events will be qualified for the 2020 IFA Redfish Tour Championship.

IFA Redfish Tour – $30,000 Top Prize, in Charlotte County, Florida

The Inshore Fishing Association (IFA) opened the 2017 Redfish powerboat competition year in Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida, with 89 angler teams looking for the top prize. Steven Phillips cashes in on the $500 big fish prize with his 7.78 pound Redfish. Forrest Fisher Photo

• Brandon Buckner & Mark Sepe Win $30,000 Top Prize • Micro-Power Pole was Key for Heavy Wind • Schooled Fish: In Sandbar/Grassbed Potholes • Scented Soft-Plastics and Topwater Baits Most Effective

By Forrest Fisher The weather provided an extra challenge for competitive Redfish anglers as the 2017 Inshore Fish Association kicked off the Redfish powerboat tournament season on Saturday, March 4, 2017, in the surprisingly clear Gulf of Mexico waters near Punta Gorda, Florida.

Brandon Buckner and Mark Sepe took home the big prize with their two top fish tipping the scales at a whopping 14.57 pounds on the troublesome weather day when, unlike practice day, many anglers had trouble finding fish.

The top prize for the winners was impressive, cashing in their fish bag for a brand new RB190 Ranger boat, Mercury 4-Stroke motor, Minn Kota Trolling motor, Hummingbird Helix Sonar, cash and more, for a total purse of $29,530. The top five places also took home a $50 gift certificate from Boca Bearing. Because Buckner and Sepe had a boat equipped with a Power Pole and they won the tournament, they also won an additional $400 check from Power Pole. Both said they would not have been able to catch a fish on this day without it.

Buckner and Sepe methodically fished potholes they found on sandy bars and grass flats, using a Micro Power Pole to assure their boat-holding position, attributing a large part of their win to the efficiency of their Power Pole. Buckner said, “My partner was definitely the vacuum cleaner on the front of the boat, I was just the key net man. We used soft plastics and jig heads, casting and retrieving through the potholes and wind.” Mark Sepe added, “We especially want to thank Power Pole, Yamaha, Costa Del Mar and Bossman Boats.”

The Budweiser team of Chris Slattery and Dave Hutchinson took home 2nd Place with 14.23 pounds for a $4755 cash prize, catching nine Redfish through the day on gold color lures. They explained that several boats fished near them through the day, but that they had dry shore on one side and were able to control their fish zone very well that way.

The competitive field was comprised of 89 power boat teams vying for top honors. The weigh-in was exciting with a well-supported local crowd cheering on the hearty anglers, some with sore backs, as they came to the scales. Some fishermen travelled to compete from as far away as Houston, Texas.

Third place went to Matt Tramontana and T.R. Finney with 14.17 pounds good for $2141 cash prize, fourth place to Karl Butigan and Steven Phillips with 13.99 pounds, good for $2141 – and Phillips landed an extra $500 for the biggest redfish of the day; fifth place went to Ryan Rickard and Dustin Tillet with 13.66 pounds good for $2188 that included a payout from the Angler Advantage prize pool.

In all, some $49,134.24 was paid out to the top 17 teams in merchandise and prizes for this Punta Gorda event.

Colorful tournament director, Eric Shelby, had the crowd ooh-ing, ah-ing and cheering, holding their attention with details as he introduced each angler team that entered the weigh station. Anglers placed their fish in a special live-fish bag, then into a life-sustaining aerator tank before they went to the length verification station and the official on-stage weighmaster scale. Many of the anglers shared an occasional humble fishing secret with local fishermen and onlookers.

All the fish entered were released back to the Peace River waters of Charlotte Harbor above the Route 41 bridges to live another day. Conservation is alive and well with IFA competitors and it is only proper in this case here, as Punta Gorda leads the state in developing juvenile fisheries habitat with their highly successful Reef Ball Project for public piers, private docks and open water. Proof that the county, the state and the fishermen are conservation-minded and work together to accomplish their goals in Punta Gorda and it’s working. Fishing techniques and tactics were simple for many of the anglers. Gear was simple too, but the gear was top of the line that typically included 7-foot long fast-tip rods, open-face ball-bearing spinning reels, 12-20 pound test braided main line, fluorocarbon leaders of 10-20 pound test and strong knots.

Kyle Potts and Shane Earhart, among top fish-catchers for the day, shared fishing day details that were common for many other anglers, as well. Potts says, “We made about a 20-mile run from port in the morning, first fishing the East Wall side before crossing the harbor, the harbor was pretty rough. We fished sandy and grass-bottom potholes in one to three feet of water.” When asked about their fishing gear, Potts added, “We like our Dan James custom rods with Shimano Stradic CI-4/4000FA reels and 10-pound test braid to throw Berkley Gulp 6-inch jerk baits.”

Eddie Parrot and Brandon Spears fished about 20 miles to the north and west, near Placida, weighing in 12.14 pounds for 13 th place.  Parrot shared, “We used our Ranger 16-foot Phantom, Berkley Gulp plastics and top-water lures, 12-pound braided line with short one-foot fluorocarbon leaders of 20-pound test to catch fish.  We use a Bimini Twist for attaching the braid to the fluorocarbon, then a Palomar knot to attach the lure.  We caught a nice mixed bag of 6 redfish, 8 speckled trout and a nice snook.  One really important thing here, without our Power Pole, the day would have been lost in this wind.”  Spears added, “The 3-4 inch Berkley soft plastics with 1/8 ounce jig heads were effective, though we also used weighted hooks for some of the soft baits and had a nice day out there.” Eric Shelby said, “The winning teams did well to score like they did.  This was a tough day for fishing.  During practice day, these guys caught hundreds and hundreds of fish, today the strong northeast winds have moved the water far offshore and has made getting into the backwaters a lot tougher.  Most of the guys ran north toward Gasparilla with the wind.  The boats are launched sequentially in the morning to avoid accidents and the anglers have a 15 minute grace period when they return before penalties are incurred.  It was nice to see the local crowd here to support the event.”
