Tred Barta came early for the tournament this weekend, and we went fishing on the Rampage 41 hull#1. He wanted a shot at a billfish so after studying the temps we decided to run from Georgetown Landing to the 380 hole. Left at 3:30, shortly after finding the break near the 380 we found one of the fishiest places I’ve ever seen, with dolphin free jumping everywhere. It was slick calm and we boated about a dozen when Tred says we’ll never keep rigged fast enough so we leave with the dolphin still swarming the boat. The kids had a blast catching what we did.
We fished back inshore to Edisto Banks and then north to SW Banks. Stayed til 7pm. Back at the dock at 9:30pm. We did get a shot at a white and a sail, but they weren’t eaters. What a long day.
Tred was “on” all day. I have never seen anyone with that much energy. He worked the cockpit constantly. He was as busy as a mate who has weeds on the rigs ALL THE TIME.
He is very much like his show. Loud, can be abrasive, but in fact he is a pretty nice guy. I hope some of you guys can come fish the tournament this weekend. I’ll post photos sometime this week if I get a chance.
2 quick questions
Did you use circle hooks or J hoooks?
Did he bring a homemade bow and homemade arrows to take his first grander marlin by bow?

No, but it was fun watching Tred making hand made bone hooks from Narwhale tusks and braid made from warthog sinew.

It’s a nice boat. They have some normal hull #1 issues, but it is a nice hull. CAT C-12s, 29 kt cruise. Rides a bit like a carolina boat. Design by Donald Blount.
Does Tred know he’s co-sponsoring an event with “tame duck” shooters? Doesn’t sound like the “tough way, the Barta way” to me if condones the shooting of pen raised animals, and/or participates in an event with SCWA. What a joke (Barta and SCWA) - I’d rather kick myself in the crotch than spend ten minutes offshore with that A$$H*!%.

I agree with you Oldschool. If that cork soccer & I were in the same boat it would be a long, long day.
If he mistakenly got onto my boat he would probably never make it back to the hill. I suppose it’s possible that there may be a more obnoxious person on this planet but whoever it is doesn’t have a hunting and fishing show.
Is Barta really sponsoring a tourney with the same folks that think shooting pen-raised tame ducks is “hunting”? LOL! Sounds like the Barta way to me… A worse example of an “outdoorsman” I cannot imagine.
Now remember he is a yankee.

Just one more reason to despise the pompous blowhard…
All you cyber kids reading this post, remember Barta is a successful sportsman and he has a lot to say about big game sports. He is kinda like the Howard Stern of big game sports. I know I always look forward to hear what he has to say in his column in Sport Fishing Mag. He just sometimes stirs up some controversy so we tend to give him a hard time.
He has put 1000’s of kids on bill fish which can never be a bad thing.

I knew as soon as I read this post that you would chime in with your WORTHLESS in site. You follow the guy around the Internet bashing him. I saw your post on TRED BARTA’s site! Classic! You must be so proud of yourself. I met the guy when he came to the Greenville Saltwater club. Yes he is obnoxious but he is what he is. He supports the youth, our country, and the armed forces. He is sponsoring a tourney to give youth the opportunity to fish offshore something many of them can not do on a regular basis. Hats off to him. He is welcome on my boat, hunting land, home, where ever.
Old School go craw back in your hole. If you don’t like who or what he is about then sponsor your own tourney and show the youth of this state how you think it should be done. Until then if you don’t have anything positive to add to the site then shut up!!!
(I argued with you 4 pages in January about taking rookies hunting and fishing. Do you really want to do this again? I am ready:wink:)

wow.
another example of southern hospitality eroding.
I’ll be at the tournament with a boat full of kids having a good time. Some of which have been to the camp, others are going this year. The tournament is about getting kids involved in the outdoors, be it fishing or hunting. Can’t wait until mine are old enough to go.
Save the tame duck debate for off topic or SC Ducks. That’s where it belongs.
Perhaps if old school brought his grandkids, even he may enjoy it.

Spoken like a true yankee. I could give a sh*t about the civil war or where your parents are from. My son’s godfather is from New Jersey. I am just saying that yankees do things different. I have every bit of respect for Captain Barta, but he does do and say some crazy and outlandish things, like a yankee.
