strategize for the next day of fishing. The next morning a strong north-
east wind greeted anglers at the ramp for the 7 a.m. start time. By 3:30 the weigh-in docks at The Boathouse came to life teams made their way to the scales. Soon after the 4:30 weigh-in deadline, the fishing duo of Lee Padrick and father Elwood Padrick were declared the winners of the Inside Division.

October 13 marked the eighth annu-
al CCA NC Inside & Out Tournament as anglers from across the state descended on the Crystal Coast antici- pating a red hot bite. A low country boil and captain’s meeting on Friday evening kicked off the event as partici- pants gathered at The Boathouse to
and Michael Scweitzer, with the help of David Payne had the tournaments largest flounder for first place in the Founder TWT. The Reel Tarheel team, captained by Lee Sykes, took first place in the Trout TWT and Team Fisher - man’s Post won not only the Redfish TWT, but also the Tow Boat US TWT for the most redfish caught. In a great gesture, the team donated all of their winnings back to the tournament bene- factor Capt. Charlie Brown. While those inshore were working hard against the elements, several
teams did decide to battle the condi- tions off the beach in search of a king. Taking first place, and weighing the only king of the event in this year’s Outside Division was the Kelly B Team of Brooks Harrell, Josh Ferriere, Marion Smith, and John Mote . While the bite wasn’t red hot, their re spec - table 20.06-pound fish was good enough to earn first place and earned them Fin Nor 80 reels and a 25-quart YETI Cooler. The festivities continued at The
Boathouse Marina, overlooking Taylor’s Creek, with an all you can eat BBQ and Chicken Supper provide by Smith - field’s Chicken & BBQ and NCWater - man. No one left hungry and after a hard day of fishing and fishing stories, it was a great way to end a day on the Crystal Coast. While a great time was had by all,
lending support to a great ally to NC’s coastal resources was the prime moti- vation. All proceeds of the CCA Inside & Out Tournament will go to Capt. Charlie Brown as he battles a recently diagnosed illness. The Inside & Out Committee is honored to have a hand in helping a great local fisherman and a great person. Thanks to all of the par- ticipants and sponsors of this year’s tournament for their support. Congrat - ulations to everyone who participated and our prayers are with Capt. Brown.

Ricky Kellum, Blue Water Candy Lures and The Boathouse.
OREGON Gill net concerns There have been many questions
regarding what effect the defeat of Measure 81 would have on Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber’s plan to eliminate gill nets from the mainstem of the Columbia River. Concern has also been expressed that the gill-netters would use the loss to sway decision-makers so that the public endorses the use of gill nets and opposes the Governor’s plan to remove non-tribal gill nets from the mainstem of the Columbia River.
