Harbourgate Marina will host the 9th Annual Dixie Chicken “Funament", a multi species fishing tournament and fundraising event, May 24th - 25th.
The Dixie Chicken Funament, now in its ninth year, is a multi-species fishing tournament and fund-raising event attracting fishermen from across the country. In addition to the "Funament" itself, the weekend event will play host to several functions including the Annual Flounder Frenzie sponsored by the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce. The Dixie Chicken Funament features cash and prizes totaling approximately $50,000, with all proceeds going toward the development of an artificial reef located a short distance off the Little River Inlet, and easily accessible to all fishermen. The Funament is held in honor of Jim Caudle, an avid fisherman who lost his life on January 20, 2000. The event is named after Caudle’s boat, The Dixie Chicken, which was docked at Harbourgate Marina for more than a decade. Jim Caudle’s vast knowledge of the local fish and their seasons, water temperatures, water color, wind directions and secret fishing spots impressed everyone who knew him.
