The Lowcountry Kayak Anglers wishes to congratulate Josh Yeater of Charleston for being awarded the LKA Angler of the Month for August!
August's target species brought a new one to the field: Bowfin. Also widely known as the "Mudfish" or as I refer to them: "Ol' Nasty." Wee Tee Lake proved to be big-bowfin central, as many anglers went there to catch their fish - including our winning angler Josh Yeater, who got this one during the Meet & Greet.
With his big bowfin and first place finish, he wins a $20 gift certificate and the maximum monthly points towards Angler of the Year.
Here's the full finish for August. Note that there was lots of ties - the Tournament Director noted the submission dates for the tiebreakers:
