Summer tournaments
There is plenty to keep a recreation- al angler busy in May and June - fish- ing tournaments of all kinds up and down the coast. These events are a great opportunity for anglers to get together, talk fishing, and contribute to the local economies.
One tournament in particular, the annual 50/50 Tournament, is one that anglers should have marked on their calendars. This event is designed with
the recreational angler in mind and one that is also contributing to improving the sport. Run out of Toler’s Cove in Mt. Pleasant, the event is scheduled for the first weekend in June.
As part of the tournaments commit- ment, this event promotes the South Carolina Memorial Reef project started by Steve Leisure and several other ded- icated offshore enthusiasts. Located more than 50 miles from the Charleston jetties, the Charleston Deep Reef will provide for a variety of pelagic species and serve to enhance the outstanding offshore fishing opportunities enjoyed
off of South Carolina. At the request of Steve and the committee, CCA SC will be taking a much more hands-on role with regard to this project. Stay tuned for more information on this develop- ment and make your plans to attend the 50/50 Tournament and many of the other great angling events this summer in the Palmetto State.
