PUNTA GORDA — Competitors in the Flatsmaster Redfish Series Charlotte Harbor Championship left Laishley Marina at first light Saturday and Sunday, and returned for weigh-ins around 3:30 both days. That’s nearly 18 hours on the water — as the sunburnt faces could attest.

Both days, the members of team Cubanbread.com made their winning catches in the last 30 minutes of fishing.
