Something in the neighborhood of 30 boats fished for king mackerel on Saturday June 23 out of the James Island Yacht Club, which debuted their brand new dock/pier! It should be noted that lots of the 'heavy-hitters' of competition king fishing were out of town fishing the Little River tourney. That being said, first place went to the crew of the Storm Along, a 20-foot Sea Hunt, when angler Parks Smith reeled in a nice 31.8-pound king. Their smoker king was first to the scales at 3 p.m. and held up to win the competition that pays out for the first five places. Lady angler Jessica Britt weighed in a fine 26.95-pound king while fishing from Yard Boy, and she reports that was the only bite they had all day. Other boats reported a slow kingfish bite as well, but Sheldon Peeples aboard Local Talent managed to reel in a respectable 22.8-pounder. With a new inshore division added in 2011 consisting of trout, flounder and sheepshead, a few anglers brought those fish to the scales, with lots of James island yacht club members participating in smaller boats, which always adds to the fun.
