Archibald Rutledge Academy lost a dear member of its family this year. Josh Thomas was an incredible young man and a senior at Archibald Rutledge Academy. He was the valedictorian of his class and was preparing to attend Presbyterian College. Josh was an avid fisherman and often fished with his father Dr. Joe Thomas, one of this tournaments original organizers. Archibald Rutledge Academy would like to dedicate this tournament that Josh enjoyed participating in year after year, in his memory as "The Josh Thomas Memorial Creek Slam Tournament."
Josh M. Thomas Youth Big Fish Award will be giving to the angler

The tournament starts at sunrise, 7:13 AM. Low tide is at 5:12 AM, so we start fishing the incoming tide. High tide is at 11:38 AM. Last year we had 76 boats and first place took home $1990. We are also a little earlier this year, October 4th, which will help everyone with the elusive flounder. The allowable fishing area is bounded on the north by the South Santee River and the South by the Isle of Plams connector bridge. Each boat fishes as a team, and weighs in the largest of each species. All fish must meet the South Carolina rules and regulations for sizes and limits.
