The Trident fishing Tournament, co-sponsored by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission, area businesses and individuals, recognizes outstanding saltwater and freshwater catches made in the tri-county area. The tournament begins Nov. 1 and runs through Oct. 31. Anglers catching fish meeting minimum weight requirements receive Master Angler certificates, and yearly winners receive plaques acknowledging their catches. Fish can be weighed at many area businesses involved in fishing, and the tournament is seeking new weigh stations in the tri-county area.
