C BY BILL MCC.0WAN The water was hot and the fish weren't particularly active. But to hear members of the South Brunswick Islands Fishing Club tell it, their first-ever king mackerel tournament couldn't have gone better. According to tournament Chairman Tom Tucker of Sunset Beach, some $5,400 in cash and prizes was awarded to various fishermen aboard the 27 boats which entered the event held out of Inlet View Marina. Tucker said the tournament's success is largely due to overwhelming support from local banks and merchants which matched the $2,700 purse collected in entry fees. Additional credit, he said, should go to tournament committee members Craig Snow, Don l?wis and Bill Price. But perhaps most credit should go to the fishermen who entered the event, many of whom carried home cash and prizes. The prize for most poundage taken during the tournament was awarded to Wade Rvn! nf t jimKertiin III, lnn/1 ed five kings for a total of 49' a pounds. James Kuss of Shallotte took first place honors for the largest fish, a 124-pound king which measured 384 inches. Chip Maree of Ash took second place, although he probably felt he deserved a share of first place. Maree also caught a 124-pound king. His fish, however, measured exactly one inch less than Russ' catch at 374 inches. Third place was landed by Mike and Richard Spivey, a father and son team from Whitcville. They landed a king which weighed in at 12 DOundx even. Fourth place ended in a dead tie between Sammy Sessions and Craig Snow, both o( Ocean Isle Ueueh.

Tucker said the objective of the South Brunswick Islands Fishing Club is "to promote ami work towards refurbishing and creating new fishing reefs off the const here." Inlet View Mnrinu Despite good comments about the fishing tournament held at his establishment over the weekend. Joe Furr of Inlet View Marina at Ocean Isle Beach, had to come back to reality when discussing general fishing trends for the past week "Poor, poor and poor" was the way Furr described recent saltwater action. "It's been just so dad-blamed hot nobody's hardly caught anything," he said. Ocean Ink' Reach Pier Curtis Williamson of Ocean isle Reach Pier luul very similar cum ments to those offered by Kurr "We hudn't done nothing all weekend. All last week whs slow," Williamson said. " There hasn't been nothing biting. That water's been too hot. It's got to be a little cooler." Ocean Isle Marina The fishing news from George Crisp at Ocean Isle Marina was slightly more positive, lint the usual poundage was noticeably lacking "Yea, it was kind of busy, hut the fish didn't cooperate a hit," Crisp said "We had a lot of people and a lot of boats out there buzzing them, but It was just too hot." The bright spot in Crisp's report dealt with Anion Hnucom of Charlotte, who caught several "real pretty" kings Friday and Saturday This Week's . Tide Table I iMnzmrs \ HUM |i|?
