The IFA Redfish Tour, Florida East division held their 2nd and final event of the 2014 season Saturday June 21st, in Jacksonville, FL. 77 teams gathered at Morningstar Marinas-Mayport on the morning of the event, with hopes of winning the fully rigged Ranger Boat and Yamaha motor 1st place prize package valued at $25,995.00.
Rusty Jewitt teamed up with Timothy Jacobson to catch a 12.83-pound, 2 redfish limit to win the event. Their 6.78-pound and 6.05-pound fish, respectively, were just enough to edge out the rest of the competition and claim the prize. The team revealed they caught all their fish on Berkley Gulp! baits. Jewitt and Jacobson also won an additional $2,415.00 thanks to being participants in the Angler’s Advantage program.
