The third leg of the Lowcountry Redfish Cup is being fished today out of the Broad Creek Marina on Hilton Head Island. Thirty-one boats were registered to fish at the Captain's Meeting on Friday at 6:30. The weigh-in scales open at 2 p.m. Saturday and Marina Manager Nate Jones went over the fish length measurement rules and said, "We will use a pinched-tail type measurement to determine if it is a legal fish and we will not accept any redfish with mutilated tails." Their is a Junior Angler class for the Lowcountry Redfish Tourneys. All fish will be weighed live and then returned to the estuary, with special 'release bags' available for anglers to use to shuttle the fish from the docks to the scales and back. Organizer Fred Bricketto, a native of Hilton Head is bringing the next tournament to Shem Creek on October 16. Congrats to Captain Reed Simmons (D.O.A. Fishing Team) of Charleston for winning the Hilton Head tourney, and to Team Allure of Charleston for taking second place. To view past blog entries about the 2010 LRC click here.
