Pam Richards SKISH Winner
Pam Richards won the SKISH casting contest at the 2008 FOWA Conference at Charlotte Harbor.

A tradition at FOWA Conferences since 1953, the "SKISH" contest is a casting event that tests the casting accuracy skills of participants. Using a points system, anglers cast into 5 rings that are set at various distances apart. Points are scored by landing a casted "plug" either into the ring or hitting the ring. The farther away the ring, the higher the point value for that particular ring.  After two rounds of casts for each participant, the points are tallied.
