Christmas Time in the Lowcountry
If you are like me you really struggle with Christmas
shopping for your fellow sportsman that already have everything. My
father and father-in-law both fit into this category so my wife and
I are always looking for the new latest and greatest gift. Most of
the time we end up going with one of the many old stand-bys and it
almost always goes over well.
Since I struggle every year with ideas I thought
everyone could use a list to help them out. I compiled the bulk of
this list over the last couple of years and have added just a few
new ideas for this year. Some of these ideas are quite obvious,
others may not be; hopefully this will help you figure out a gift
for your fishing partner or give you some ideas to put on your own
list to Santa.

Governor's Cup
Billfishing Series Sets 2010 Tournament Schedule
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources recently
announced the 2010 proposed schedule and tournament information for
the 22nd annual S. C. Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series. Learn more
about the South Carolina Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series at:
http://govcup.dnr.sc.gov .
Before the S.C. Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series began
in 1989, virtually all billfish caught by anglers were killed and
brought back to the docks. The Series was established to promote the
state’s billfishing opportunities and encourage conservation of the
ocean’s limited natural resources. The Series continues to actively
encourage the conservation of marine resources by promoting catch
and release of both billfish and other game fish. The partnership
between DNR and the Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series has provided
an important link to the sportfishing community, and has allowed for
an extremely efficient and cost-effective means for gathering
important scientific data useful for managing the fishery.
During the 2009 Series, the release rate was 100
percent, with 187 billfish being caught and released including 28
blue marlin, 17 white marlin and 142 sailfish. The high release rate
achieved during Series tournaments significantly contributes to the
future of billfish populations. By maintaining close relationships
with the sportfishing community, including boat owners, captains and
anglers, data are also acquired for trips conducted not only at
sanctioned tournaments but from those taking place throughout the
year.
Private sponsorships are the lifeblood of the S.C.
Governor’s Cup Series. The DNR greatly appreciates the generous
support of the Series 2009 Sponsors including corporate sponsors:
Greystar Real Estate Partners LLC and Jarrett Bay Boatworks; and
major sponsors: HMY Yacht Sales, Southern Lumber and Millwork, and
The Charleston Angler, as well as contributions from the Advisory
Board of Directors, the Newsletter sponsors and others. The funds
collected each year support DNR’s oversight of the annual series.
Contact Wallace Jenkins for more information to help support future
S.C. Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series events.

The Final Word |
Yet
another crazy week of weather, but between some strong
fronts packing moderate to heavy winds and rain there have
been a few really good days to fish. Offshore bottom fishing
is in full swing with some nice catches of snapper, grouper,
and black sea bass. Most of the fish are being caught in the
60 to 90-foot range.
Inshore the trout and redfish bite remains steady. Most
of the fish are being taken on artificials, over the flats
and oysters beds with plenty of reports from the Cooper,
Wando and north of Charleston in the intracoastal. The
Sheepshead bite is on big time with fish being caught on
fiddlers at the jetties and around other structure in the
harbor. I have heard of several sheeps being caught in the 8
to 12-pound range. Hopefully the weather will be favorable
for the weekend so we can get one ‘em!
Tight
lines…
