2010 Charleston Inshore Anglers - Sheepshead Tournament





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!
