Once again, Maverick Boat Company and The Backcountry Flyshop in Vero Beach put on another Flyfishing Tournament in Vero Beach, FL. This is a catch photo and release slam tournament that consists of a Redfish, Snook, and Trout. The wildcard is a sheepshead which can count for any species that you are lacking and are hard as heck to catch on a flyrod! Dominic Agostini(www.dominicphoto.com) is usually my partner for this event, last year he won us the biggest redfish award and this year we ended up getting 2nd place overall. The best part of the tournament was the raffles, bbq and awards ceremony afterwards at the park, just getting together with a group of people who share the same passion, having some beers and talking about “the one that got away”.
The product of the day was The Line Lair from Carbon Marine. This mat made for stripping flyline on manages your line and keeps the wind from blowing it all over the place and prevents tangles. To Order a Line Lair for your skiff, canoe, kayak, or whatever you want to use it on….contact Joe Welbourne at Carbon Marine: www.carbonmarine.com.
