Campbell Marine Complex in Georgetown, SC on Saturday June 10, 2023. Jacob Rigopoulos, Tournament Director, says they have aligned this event to coincide with National Boating and Fishing Week 2023 and will be offering anglers the chance to win a piece of the guaranteed $10,000 prize purse! The Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce has taken on the role of our presenting sponsor for this year’s event. With many other major fishing tournaments and major organizations like B.A.S.S. using this same boat launch for events like the 2019 Bassmaster Elite Series and the 2022 StrikeKing Bassmaster College National Championship to chase Largemouth Bass, we felt it was a great, and unique, opportunity for us to offer a saltwater fishing alternative to anglers, Rigopoulos said. “I love that we have the opportunity to showcase Winyah Bay to the inshore saltwater fishing community…this place is loaded with redfish, trout, and flounder.” Registration is open and more information is available at www.habitatgeorgetown.com/events . Habitat for Humanity for Georgetown County, SC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based out of Georgetown, SC that was established and incorporated in 1991 as a direct result of damage caused by Hurricane Hugo. We build decent and affordable homes for low-income working families and give homeowners the opportunity to purchase their homes with no profit mortgages and “sweat equity”, as they volunteer with our organization throughout the building process of their new home. We also offer repair services to homeowners in our county so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes for years to come AND we are one of the only Habitat affiliates with a Cottage Program that allows seniors to acquire a 675 sq. ft. cottage that is built to specifics that will allow them to age in place. By supporting Habitat for Humanity and the Hooked on Habitat Inshore Slam, your entry fees and event contributions will allow us to continue to carry out our vision and mission of bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope and will help to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live
