The 4th annual Sailfish Slam out of the MegaDock Marina runs Oct. 6 - 9 with offshore enthusiasts competing for prize money based on which team releases the most sailfish. Fishing on Mt. Pleasant-based Lil' Bit on Friday October 8th with Captain Pete Loy, the crew managed to tag and release one sailfish, and had several other knock-downs. A cool start to the morning on the ocean gave way to a comfortable day of fishing with tournament rules calling for lines in at 8 a.m. and lines out at 3. Pelagic, the company that celebrates the offshore lifestyle, was well-represented among the crew, and their gear is designed for being out on the ocean and fishing, no matter what the conditions.
