It was a bright but windy day for those six anglers in three boats vying for all the marbles in today's open tournament conducted at Pungo Ferry by Wayne Hayes.
All the boats weighed fish, but the winners were
(from left) Steve Bailey and Dennis Dean, who weighed a five-fish limit. Their total weight was 7.51 lbs. Finishing second but out of the money was the team of Andy Morath and John Harmon, who also weighed five fish for a 7.41-lb. total weight.
In third place was the team of
(from left) Rob Chatham and Craig Jones, who had the day's big fish...a 2.61-lber.
There also was one casualty today. While running between Albright's and West Neck, Steve lost a blade off his Merc 250 prop, as evidenced in the accompanying photo. 'Twas a bit of a shock, since he never felt any indication of having hit something in the water. He and his partner nursed the boat back to Pungo Ferry at 5 mph.
Wayne's next scheduled open tournament is set for Saturday, Nov. 19th, again at Pungo Ferry.
