Clewis, Rehder Take First Place In World's Largest King Tourney BY JAMIE M1LLIKEN A Brunswick County fishing team struck gold in Florida! Capt Earl C'lewis and longtime fishing partner Stanley Rehder loaded up Earl's tniat Live Wire and headed her on down to the world's largest king mackerel tour nament ? the Greater Jacksonville King Tournament. As usual, this year's event was another sell-out. with 1.000 boats. Earl and Stanley located the fish 60 miles north of Jacksonville and off the coast of Georgia. I guarantee that the long run did not bother them, because the fishing was really hot for them. Their 77-pound aggregate weight (3 fish) won them first place ? and a pile of green dust goes with that. I hear you. Earl! I get so excited to hear about "home bovs" iloin? we'll I iust can't stand it ? ? ? Our sail fish run is in full swing, last week I know of four sailfish being caught and thankfully released. Two of these came from McGlammory Reef off I >ong Beach and one came offshore aboard Dan Kinlaw's Lady Kaye. The other sailfish was caught off Carolina Beach. It is the time of year that our sailfishing really cranks up. So the next time you're dragging a live pogie. don't be too surprised to see a "lit up" sailfish flashing your bait like Zorro in a Mexican army compound. They key is to use a light drag when fishing these fish. Fight him in the same way you would a big smoker king, and chances are you will bring him to the boat Once he's at the boat, remove the hook as quickly as possi ble and push him back and forward bv his bill until he gets his strength back Do not turn him loose if he is turning upside down. Just keep working with him. I guarantee that you will be mighty proud when that big cycle tail fires up and he swims away! B ? ? The catch of the week goes to Robin "Snapper" King, captain of the Rocking Robin. Snapper was slow-trolling a live bait at Shallottc Inlet Sunday when a 70-pound cobia inhaled his bait. Wow ! I know that was a fight. All right. Snapper, with all that prime cobia meat in your refrigerator, I am standing ready for the fish fry! ? ? ? Well, as you can tell, the fishing is wonderful, and I wish you were beautiful! Just kidding ? until next time, good fishin' and good luck. "Jolly Mon." SAT..
