2011 Yellowfin/OIFC
Jolly Mon King Mackerel Tournament

The weather wasn't that great
this weekend and the king mackerel were definitely not out in
great numbers, but we still had a good time!!
Richard, Jordan and I went out on Thursday to just kind of
play around, other than it being really bumpy out there, there
wasn't a whole lot going on so Jordan wanted to try and catch
some spadefish so we gathered up a few jelly balls and gave it
a shot. We caught three nice spadefish and I guess they
got spooked after that and we could not get another bite.
Never the less those three made it back to the table.
On Friday,
we headed out to see if we could connect Jordan with a king
for the Jr. Jolly Mon event. The first strike we had
that morning was a 3.2 pound spanish mackerel and that was
going to be it for the day. To our surprise, the
fish was good enough to take 2nd place in the Jr. Jolly Mon.
Saturday came and we made the decision to head on the east
side and fish to try to get away from some of the weather.
The water looked really good, but there really wasn't much
happening there either. We tried everything to entice a
bite, from live bait, cigar minnows, and even drifting with
the kite, but nothing seemed to be hungry or the fish just
weren't there. Around 2:30 pm we decided to call it a
day and start the long haul back to Ocean Isle and about the
time Richard got the kite in, Glenn hollered and all I heard
was a reel screaming. I jumped off the bean bag (taking
a little siesta) and seen the prop wash rod bent over. I
grabbed the rod and a few minutes later we finally had a king
in the boat! We gathered everything together and headed
to the scales. Not a lot of action this weekend, but it
was great to get to see everyone again and to be able to get
back on the water and spend time with family.
We finished the tournament 14th
overall, 3rd in 23 TWT, and 3rd in Jr. Angler.
We want to thank some people who
have brought us into their Pro Staff family this year.
RedfishOne Hooks, for their high quality and very sharp laser
hooks that we use exclusively (www.redfishone.com);
OIFC (www.oifc.com),
for the OIFC Custom Star Rods. These rods are sensitive
for live bait, but with plenty of backbone. Also, Old
Harbor Outfitters (www.oldharboroutfitters.com),
just brought us on as their newest Pro Staff members. We
have been using their gear for several years now, check them
out and you will love their clothes, bags, knives, and etc.
Dusty Bowick
Benefit Concert: A Huge Success!!

N.C. Highway Patrolman Dusty
Bowick, (Doug's nephew), found out in December 2010 that he
has stage 4 sinus cancer. He is currently undergoing
treatments at UNC Chapel Hill. The weekend of March
12th, a benefit was held for Dusty and his wife to help with
all of their medical expenses. God Is So Good!!!
The turnout was awesome, there were over 1000 plates of
spaghetti served and then afterwards a gospel concert took
place. Dusty and Sally were so overwhelmed by all the
people that showed up to support them. Through this whole
ordeal, Dusty has maintained a positive attitude and says
"that if just one person will come to know the Lord, it will
be worth it all." I do know that people rededicated
their lives to the Lord that night and that people that had
other burdens decided to turn everything over to the Lord.
There have been so many miracles performed since all of this
has started and people have come closer to the Lord.
For example,
Dusty's little brother, Daniel (25), found out that he only
has one kidney and the one kidney he has is failing.
Daniel feels fine and acts just fine (miracle). He
started all of his procedures to get placed on the list to
receive a kidney. Fifteen packets were sent out to
people that Daniel knew and eight came back, four of which
were Daniel's blood type. The very first person that was
called make to have more tests run, was a perfect match
(miracle) and Daniel is scheduled to receive a new kidney the
first or second week of April. The doctors were amazed
at how quickly they were able to find a match for Daniel.
God Answers Prayers!!!
I know that through all of this,
more families will be reunited, people will come to know the
Lord, people will become closer to the Lord, and both of these
young men will be healed by the Holy power of God!! God
Answers Prayers!!!
Toes Up Fishing
Team / Redfish One Hooks Pro Staff!

Toes Up Fishing Team
is one of the newest Pro Staff teams for Redfish One Hooks.
We would like to thank Richie Lott, owner, for this
opportunity to represent his company. We look forward to
the 2010 fishing season and look forward to seeing everyone at
the tournaments.
Redfish One
Fishing hooks are custom made and designed. Each style has
been scrutinized by the owner himself, used in the field, then
drawn again again until angles of the hook have been set
properly for the quickest hook sets and maximum strength.
Redfish One Fishing hooks are built in short runs to ensure
the highest quality fishing hook. Each and every hook is
inspected. Any damaged fishing hooks are disposed of and never
sold, only recycled for other uses. We don't sell junk in a
bag... Again, each and every hook is inspected before bagged
and sent to a consumer or dealer. Plain and simple, our hands
touch every single hook before they go in the bag. Our Fishing
hooks are for Marlin, Tuna, Grouper, Snapper, Swordfish,
Kingfish and more. King Mackerel Fishing Anglers in the SKA
Kingfish Tournaments on the SKA Kingfish trail find our treble
hooks especially attractive due to our Treble Hook strength.
Our Kingfish 4-X strong treble hooks and bait hooks are used
in Kingfish Tournaments up and down the coast.

The 2009 SKA
National Championships was held in Biloxi, Mississippi this
year. Thursday night, November 19, was the awards
banquet where all of the junior anglers, lady anglers, senior
anglers, and divisional champions received their awards.
This is our third year fishing on the tournament scene

children received First Place in the Junior Angler for
Division 9 for the year. In
the picture above is Don Ewing of the SKA. This was to
be his last tournament, he is retiring.
Earlier in the week,
we arrived in Biloxi and had the opportunity to do a little
pre-fishing and go out and catch some bait. On
Wednesday, we went out to catch bait with the Final Approach
Fishing Team. We would like to thank them for the time
and opportunity to spend with them on their boat. We had
a blast that day catching bait and even managed to land a nice
king. Also fishing with us this week was Chris Dawson
from the Miss Janelle Fishing Team. Chris is a super guy
and he runs a charter service out of Ocean Isle Beach, NC and
also charters for Ocean Isle Fishing Center.
We would also like
to thank a few other teams for their friendship and support
this year, Eren's Addiction Too and the Rock Doc.
Congrats to these teams for the nice fish they caught on
Friday. Also, another congrats goes out to the Ocean
Isle Fishing Center for their awesome King Mackerel that
weighed in at 74.10 lbs. The new Mississippi state
record and SKA record.
Toes Up Fishing
Team is heading to Biloxi!

2009 OIFC Fall Brawl King

Up crew secured a 1st Place finish in the SKA's Divison 9:
Class of 23'. It looks like our children, Richard Boles

Divsion 9 as well. This is our third year fishing with
the SKA and 2009 proved to be a banner year for us. We
have to start by thanking our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
without him none of this would be possible. Thanks also
to all of our family and friends that help support us along
the way. The SKA is a great group of people that enjoy
fishing, if you don't belong, start thinking about
joining before next year. For all of our friends in the SKA, we look forward to seeing you in Biloxi, MS for the

Carolina Beach, North Carolina —
A beautiful 44.45 king mackerel caught by Richard Boles and
Doug Robson on the Toes Up was the only king in the forties,
giving them a big win at the East Coast Got-Em-On.
“We were fishing with Mark Ward and our children, Richard J. Boles and
Jordan Robson , 60 miles south at the Myrtle Beach Rock,” said
Boles. “It was an early bite, 8:50 to be exact. We were
fishing in 57 feet of water when she ate a live pogy on the
surface. It was certainly the biggest king we’ve ever scaled.”
The team put the fish in the boat at 9:55 then had to wait
till 2:30 to come to the scales. “We knew she was a good fish
but it was a real thrill when the event was over and we were
the winners,” added Boles. “We’ve been fishing SKA for three
years and finally got a good win.”
Toes Up is now in the points race lead for the Class of 23.
The two juniors, Richard and Jordan, were the event’s Top
Junior Anglers.
