SCSSA 2009 Sailfish XXVII Tournament




The South Carolina Saltwater Sportfishing Association is holding their 27th Annual Sailfish Tournament this weekend out of Charleston. The fish days are August 7, 8 & 9 with lines in from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. SCSSA mandates that circle hooks ONLY be used for this tournament, and that any meatfish (dolphin, wahoo or kings) that are caught can be weighed in from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day at the Cooper River Marina or Bohicket Marina. The winners will be recognized at the SCSSA year end rewards to be held August 18. Unofficial results say that Electric Bill released nine sailfish to win the tournament and that Syked Out released eight sailfish to take second place. The fleet had light east winds and good fishing conditions over the weekend. Thanks to SCSSA member William Dotterer for the conditions report, and congrats to his boat Swamp Angel for boating the first sailfish of the tournament on Friday morning at 8:20 a.m.
