The Charleston Inshore Anglers (CIA) held their 18th annual Sheepshead Tournament in Charleston under overcast skies on April 24. The tournament had nearly 200 entrants and their is an 80% payback formula that goes to the top ten heaviest fish weighed in. King Street Grill on James Island hosted the Captain's Meeting on Thursday and the Weigh-In on Saturday which ran from 4 until 5. SCDNR was on hand to provide certified scales and to collect data from sheepshead that they 'work up.' Anglers that participate in the DNR program received a raffle ticket and one lucky participant won a Penn Sargus spinning reel. Lonnie East III won the event with a 10.12-pound sheepshead, and collected a $1240 first place check, with Paul Pundt in second place with a 10.0-pound sheepshead, followed by Bill Gerke in third with a 9.54-pound sheepshead. A special award for dogfish went to Bob Taylor for his 2.62-pound brown behemoth!
