Islands Produce Another i Victor In Sun-Fun Tourney BY JAMIE MILLIKF.N The South Brunswick Islands waters produced another winning fish in this year's Sun Fun King Mackcrcl Tournament. Charies Hammonds of Kurc Beach was fishing off Long Beach on Saturday and landed a 43.55-pound king to win first place. Charles and his crew collected S 10,000 and a share of the tournamcnt-wilhin-a-lournament bonus. Jim McGregor of Murrell's Inlet, S.C., placed second with a 32.05-pound king. Third placc went to Stuart Ballard of Georgetown, S.C., with a 24.15 pound king. My good friend Captain David Hooks of Gausc Landing, fishing his boat, the now-famous Captain Hook II, placed sixth with a king weighing 19.95 pounds. That really gives the hometown boys something to cheer about. ? ?? If there had been a "Goodie Headache Award" it surely would have been won by Robert Causey fishing his boat Outlaw. On Friday his fishing was cut short by an electrical problem. He had to work until 1 1 p.m. Friday fixing that problem. On Saturday Robert had what probably would have been a second- or third-place fish h(x>ked, when a barracuda ate half of the king. The half that Robert and Crew were left with weighed 18 pounds. That's a tough pill to swallow! ? ?? The Caribbean Soul didn't make it on the leader board. However, it was not for lack of effort. Chip, "Cow" and myself made a game plan of fishing the inshore waters on Friday and fishing offshore on Saturday. On Friday we never had a king strike, and we were plagued with sharks. I bet we caught a dozen, but we stuck with our plan. We felt that if we could find a king in close, he would be a big one. On Saturday I put die Caribbean Soul 39 miles offshore. This proved to be a good decision. We had plenty of action. At the end of the day we had our limit of 15 kings in the cooler. The problem was that diey were all eight to 1 1 pounds. We decided to weigh one in and take a chance. We missed S5(XI by eight ounces. Although 1 was disappointed, I knew we couldn't have fished any harder. Well, that's fishing... ? ?? My old buddy Rube was back in town this weekend. He and sons fished the Mako Mac offshore on Sunday and had a great day. Their catch consisted of a five-pound dolphin in the 20-pound class, one wahoo in the 30-pound class and three cobia ? 52, 40 and 25 pounds. Their day was highlighted by the sighting of two blue marlin. Not a bad day fishing, I would say. ? ?? 1 was asked to mention that the ice had been broken on Dr. Khan's boat, Mirage. He and Gerald Brown caught the first kings aboard this new boat. They both were mighty excited that they had put some fish blood on her deck. Well, dial just about covers it this week. Good fishin' and good luck, "Jolly Mon." CAPTAIN JAMIE'S OFFSHORE FISHING REPORT Clam Bake Ocean Isle Style Every Friday Night 7-8 PM Includes clams.chicken. shrimp, corn. potatoes, sausage. Sfi Per Person VJ Reservations Only Call 754-5051 Jerry Nellenback. Mgr. Boat Dock $3 Per Day Reports Vary On Weekend Success BY DOU<; R UTTER Fishermen had good luck in some spots and no luck in others last week, according to reports from area fishing centers. "We had a great weekend of fish ing," Jesse Hayes of Captain Pete's Marina at Holden Beach said Mon day morning. Allison Hughes of Hughes' Mar ina at Shallotte Point had a different story to tell. "This hasn't been a gtxxl week for our fishermen," she said. Hayes said anglers caught a wide variety of fish in the waters off Holden Beach over the weekend. Anglers reeled in spots, blucfish, Spanish mackerel and cobia close to the beach. Hayes said he saw some Spanish weighing 6 pounds and 7 pounds, and some big cobia caught within three miles of shore. Farther offshore, common catches included grouper, snapper, kings and dolphin. Hayes said anglers landed grouper in the 8- to 10-pound range and the first good-sized dolphin of the year. Off Shallotte Point, Mrs. Hughes Brunswick Waters Closed To Shellfishing Brunswick County waters were closed to shellfishing last week due to heavy rainfall, while other areas have been closed to shrimp and crab trawling to protect baby shrimp. Shellfish beds between Southport and the South Carolina state line were closed to harvesting May 31 due to heavy rainfall and ninoff. They remained closed as of Monday. On Sunday, shrimp and crab trawling was closed in Bonaparte Creek and the inland waterway from Southport to the state line. The move is intended to protect small brown shrimp in those waters. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED JOYCE GURIJiY of China Grove landed this 7 1 12-pound flounder Sunday at llolden Beach Pier. FISHING REPORT said the only fish caught last week were Spanish mackerel and some large sea bass. "The fishermen said the fish just weren't biting," she said, adding that all of the rain last weekend may have affected fishing in Shallottc River. Pier Fishing At local fishing piers, warmer weather and ocean water has result ed in fewer catches. "It has slowed down a little bit, but they're still picking up some," Gil Bass of Holdcn Beach Fishing Pier said Monday. Bass said fishermen caught blues, flounder, whiting, spots and a few Spanish mackerel last week. Joyce Gurlcy of China Grove had the catch of the week, a 7 1/2-pound flounder landed Sunday. Fishermen at Sunset Beach Pier had a good week catching spots, flounder, blues and whiting. "It's fairly good, but not like it was a month ago," said Phil Clarke. "Basically, it's enough to keep you PHOTO CONTRIBUTED JAMES LAMBERT JR. of Purlear (right) caught this African pompano Sunday on the Alice E. Also pictured is Donnie Sim mons. interested." Fishermen caught a lot of spots Sunday, he said, and reeled in blues last week measuring 14 to 18 inches long. Anglers also hooked a few king mackerel, but didn't get any of them up on the pier, Clarke said. Curtis Williamson reported a slow week at Ocean Isle Beach Pier, willi anglers landing a few spots and Spanish. "It's been kind of slow over the weekend," he said Monday. "1 think it's going to pick up, though, this week." wv PHOTO BY NANCY O'NEAL Anyone For Tuna? An 85-pound yellowfin tuna and some nice dolphin were caught Sunday aboard the Sundowner.
