“Say Cheese and show us your fish!” as The Charleston Angler 2012 Photo & Essay Contest kicks off.

“We’ve seen your faces in the store, now show us what you’ve been doin’ in and off shore. (Freshwater subjects welcome too).”

It’s pretty simple—The Charleston Angler loves a good fishing story and would like to hear yours. And since January is a good time to reflect on the past year, or all of your past fishing experiences, and dream of the ones to come, they thought what better time to have you share a story and some pictures for the chance to win great prizes.

It’s easy – Just submit 1 to 3 photos accompanied by a story of 500 words or less essay about fishing that one great fishing experience. Could be in the best of 2011 or earlier, or could be very recent. Make them laugh, make them cry, or just make them plain jealous. The best three entries will win gift cards to The Charleston Angler.

Prizes will be awarded:

Male Angler: $100 gift card

Lady Angler: $100 gift card

Youth Angler: $50 gift card

Kids (under 15): Charleston Angler tee shirt

The expert staff of The Charleston Angler stores will be putting together some great entries for their own in-house competition which will be posted on The Charleston Angler’s Reel Blog www.thecharlestonangler.com and on their Facebook Fan Page, so take a look and get inspired.

The judges whom you have to impress are Capt. Peter Brown, renowned Fishing Guide, writer and speaker, Matt Winter, Editor, Post and Courier Tidelines Magazine; and Daniel Nussbaum of Zman Baits. They promise to be fair, and will be picking their favorite entries as the winners, which will be announced at SEWE Feb. 18.
