What billfish are to Hatteras, the king mackerel will be to Southeastern North Carolina October 4-6 when the $40,000 U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament is held in Southport. Upwards of 400 boats and several hundred pier fishermen will test their luck in waters crff the Brunswick County coast, trying to catch that big king mackerel worth $10,000. The second largest king will be worth a Jeep whilA thirH prize is a McKee Craft boat, with motor and trailer. The tournament, the largest fishing event in North Carolina, is snon- sored by the Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce. John Barbee is chairman of this year’s event. “We must have 400 boats at $100 apiece to match our purse,’’ Barbee said. More than 40 businesses in the Southport-Oak Island area—which includes Long Beach, Yaupon Beach and Caswell Beach—have signed guarantees of $1000 each that the event will meet expenses. Barbee said the “unofficial goal’’ of the tournament is 600 boats. “We will be fishing out of two inlets—the Cape Fear River and Lockwo^ Folly Inlet,” Barbee said. “Many boats will come from western Brunswick County and from the Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach area. But our goal, of course, is to attract fishermen to the Southport-Oak Island area.” Barbee said the early October date was chosen because “it is still warm enough for other family members to enjoy the beach. Many cottage owmers will have stopped using their vacation homes for the year, so we will have an abundance of low- cost rental cottages that can accommodate family groups.” But there will be plenty of new faces in the area re^^rrilARK nf how manv families take a long weekend vacation, Barbee noted. “We are expecting at least 400 boats, with six fishermen per boat in cluded in the $100 entry fee,” Barbee said. “That’s 2,400 people right there.” Deadline for entries is September 30 and an organizational meeting for entrants will be held Wednesday, October 3. Fishing will be from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on October 4 and 5, with Saturday, October 6, as a “weather day” if one of the first two tour nament days is ranrellefi An awards program will be held Satur^y night.

The tax rate Is based on properties estimated at value of $1 billion. Kings Mountain district schools will receive $827,000 In current ex penses and $221,000 In capital outlay as over half the taxes collected will be qient on the three county school systems. The school tax levied for KM district is 18 cents. The tight budget has little funds marked for major projects. County employes will be getting a 7 percent cost-of-llvlng increase. “When you consider that six fishermen can fish from any entered boat,” Barbee pointed out, “it means that each fisher man is paying about $8 a day for a chance to win $10,000. And whether or not he wins, he has enjoyed the competition and the gathering with other fishermen.” Pier fishermen can enter for $35. The U.S. Open event is the North Carolina coun terpart to the Arthur Smith trairnAniAnf holH At f .«»»|» River, S.C. The winning fish in the Smith tour nament last year was caught just off Yaupon Beach on Oak Island and weighed 41 pounds. At the same time Yaupon Pier was holding a king mackerel tournament and the winning fish tipped the scales at 47 pounds. This means two things, according to Barbee. “First, pier fishermen stand an equal chance of bringing in the biggest fish. Second, the large king mackerel are found close inshore here so you don’t have to have a 50-foot sports fishing boat to go aJfter them.” Barbee said that whatever it takes to make the tournament a succeaa, it will be worth the effort. The director of the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, S.C., estimated that the first Smith tournament brought a half-million dollars to that area during the event. “That kind of income for this area would be nice,” Barbee said, “But we are concerned about other showcase an area of the state, and we want to show that, when it comes to fishing, North Carolina has the best—whether it’s blue marlin or king mackerel!” Information and entry forms for the $40,000 U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament are available Dowling, Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce, Box 52, South- port, N.C. 28461. Pier entrants should understand that |rier space for the tournament wUl be limited. Space on the piers will be awarded on a “first come, first served” basis.
