     A six year success story!

      The 6th annual Junior Flatsmasters Tournament took place April 9th at the Laishley Crab House.

The event kicked off with the Capt. Meeting and pizza party sponsored by Hungry Howie's Pizza.  At the meeting every angler received a limited edition T Shirt and Hat provided by Laishley Marine and Harbour Graphics, a tackle box full of tackle sponsored by Capt. Ted's Tackle, a Shimano Rod & Reel sponsored by Shimano and Mosaic Fertilizer, and of course plenty of pizza.  After the rules meeting each junior angler got to draw their starting number for the tournament kickoff the next morning.

Perfect weather greeted our young anglers on saturday morning as all 75 kids took off in anticipation of catching the winning redfish.  As the weigh in started at 1pm it was evident that some of these young anglers were going to be the future of tournament redfishing. As the weigh in continued all of the 3 age groups brought qualiy fish up on the Laishley Crab House stage.  The great thing about the Junior Flatsmasters is that every kid is proud of the fish they caught no matter what the size.

Once all of the young anglers were back to the dock, they were treated to a cookout sponsored by Laishley Crab House as they waited for the awards ceremony to start.  Each of the three age groups    (7-10), (11-15), and 16-17), had their own top winners and the top 2 anglers in each division were invited back on May 1st the Punta Gorda Redfish festival at Laishley Crab House to compete head to head to see who will become the 2011 Junior Flatsmasters Champions.  The Weigh- In will take place on Sunday, May 1st at 3:15pm right before the finals of the Elite Pro Redfish Tour.
