NCCHARTERFISHING-Capt.'s Jeff Cronk and MIke Taylor-Crystal Coast, Swansboro, Emerald Isle

The 2007 5th Annual Ed Sewell Speckled Trout Tournament, held on Sunday, October 4th, was a success. Chris Sewell and his family organized this annual event 5 years ago in honor of their beloved grandfather because of his love and dedication to trout fishing. As a local business owner in Swansboro for years, the Sewell name is very recognized and respected for their hardwork. The Sewell Trout Tournament has become one of the most popular local events over the past few years. Chris and his family put the tournament in the hands of the newest inshore fishing club in the Swansboro Area this year. The Crystal Coast Fishing Association, presided over by John Hislop, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of recreational fishing, researching the development of a local fish hatchery, and keeping the Crystal Coast informed about Marine Environmental Concerns. The club's website address is www.crystalcoastfishing.net and should be operational before the end of the 2007 season. Thanks to all the tournament participants, local businesses, and other sponsors the Ed Sewell Tournament was able to pay out over $6000 in cash prizes, over $1000 in food and other prizes, and raise over $1500 to help the CCFA accomplish their mission. The tournament awarded prizes for the following positions this year:
