    Anytime we bring a tournament to a venue for the first time, we always wonder: “How will the turn-out be?  Will big fish be brought to the scales?  Will the crowds show up?”  “Will the anglers like it?”  After the Freeport stop of the Cabela’s Texas Redfish Series powered by Majek/Evinrude, we will never have to worry again.  Bridge Harbor Yacht Club was the host venue, and between the hot burgers and cool swimming pool, we could not have asked for a better setting.  Despite the fact that almost half of the teams had never fished out of Freeport, the weights and catches rivaled any other stop we have had. 

 

Bringing home the first place prize of a brand new Majek Boat powered by an Evinrude Etec on a Coastline Trailer were first time winners, 21-year-old Jeff Steckler of Rockport, TX and his partner 14-year-old Mason Lloyd out of the Houston area.  The young team weighed in a massive two-fish limit of 16.35lbs which they caught on Texas Tackle Factory Killer Flat’s Minnows.  Second place went to the team of Brian Hessong and Chuck McKinny who had never fished the area prior to the tournament.  Third place went to the Port Lavaca team of Kurt Koliba and Mike Shimek of team TTF.

In the Texas Kayak Series, newcomer Jeff Naylor won a brand new kayak along with a cash prize by bringing in a giant 8.71 lb redfish.  Second place went to Jason Brew and third place went to Jay Odem.  For the first time this season, the winds laid down for the Kayakers who mostly fished the back marshes and creeks of the Freeport Area.

 

Congratulations to Gary Harvey and Aaron Loomis on their second win in Rockport and their second new 2009 Texas Redfish Series edition Majek Skiff powered by a 75hp Evinrude ETEC.
