Of all the man-made lake property in South Carolina, few communities are more impressive than Hampton Lake, with its 165-acre fresh water lake and 15 miles of shoreline. Located in the heart of Lowcountry, the lake is a haven for those who love to indulge in natural surroundings, with fishing, swimming, boating, and other fun outdoor activities. It also is a place for celebrations and memorable events, such as the upcoming Military Heroes Fishing Classic at Hampton Lake in Bluffton.

The Inaugural Military Heroes Fishing Classic is scheduled for April 3-4, 2016 to raise funds for military charities supported by the Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes (LFWMH). The event will begin on the evening of Sunday April 3, as Hampton Lake holds a fun, relaxing, and motivational gala for the entire family featuring food, soft drinks, unlimited beer (cash bar for wine & spirits), silent and live auction bidding, and live music featuring The Chiggers and Bluffton High School Jazz Ensemble. Tickets are $30 and open to the public, and will have limited attendance, so get your reservations in early by emailing fishwithheroes@hargray.com or call 843.815.6339.

On Monday April 4 is Hampton Lake's marquee Fishing Classic catch and release tiger bass tournament. Limited to 200 participants. 50 boats are expected to fish for largemouth tiger bass in excess of 7 lbs and spring spawn at its peak. An award reception will follow the tournament with a buffet lunch, prizes, and more. Individuals can participate with a $100 donation and various sponsor levels.

Over the past five years, Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes has raised over $500,000, and anticipates that 2016 events will at least match, if not surpass, those previous efforts. For more information or to register for the tournament please visit www.woundedmilitaryheroes.org
