Flounder Bowl

2013 PSWSFA_Flounder_Bowl_Poster_SMALL
It is here. Last year, we had 117 boats fish it. No idea how many will fish it this year, could be more or less. 1st place is $5000 if only 1 boat fishes it. The highest single payout was 2 years ago when Craig Paige won $11,000. Weather forecasts look like we will get the tournament in on Saturday but we may get wet sometime during Friday/Saturday. We have prepared for more boats. We are getting more scallops, more fish and have made up about 160 team buckets. We have more liquor but we did not put the little sample bottles in the team buckets. ABC did not like kids walking around with the buckets with liquor in them last year. We will just give them out to adults at one of the tables somewhere…maybe just have them in the gazebo where the mixed drinks are served during the weigh-in party. It will be barbecue and beer at the captains Friday evening. The work of many volunteers and tremendous sponsor support make this event happen.

Cobia Today

We went sight fishing for cobia today. We had a few hours of sunshine and then the clouds moved in. We saw six cobia to about 50 pounds. We caught, tagged and released two smaller fish.

Flounder Bowl Cobia


I fished off of Back River this morning for Flounder Bowl bait. I fishing a Sabiki with Fish Bites behind a chum pot. I put out a couple of eels to soak while catching bait. I had a good baby spot bite going until the sharks found me. They really like eels. The things would not let go until I would pull them out of the water and the eel would cut through. Not really cobia fishing, I just kept casting what was left of the eel back out there and went back to spot fishing. I had just caught two sharks on this eel and what was left had another one on. It turned out to be a nice cobia. It weighed in at 58 pounds 3 ounces. While cleaning the cobia, our two labs thought playing chase and tackle in the creek was great fun. Now they want in the house. We will be eating this cobia at the Flounder Bowl party.

Deep-Drop June 1

We ran out and bottom fished around the Norfolk Canyon. We had a nice catch of blueline tilefish. Stan Simmerman caught our largest at 17 pounds. Chris Boyce was close with a 16 pound blueline. We caught some pretty sea bass, a good number of hake, and 5 golden tilefish. One of the goldens was only a head. Sharks made things interesting out there. We caught two big hammerheads and about 5 “sharks”, maybe dusky or bull. There were plenty of other shark encounters. We would get on a good spot and the sharks would find us. The sharks were a fun challenge on the gear we were using. It is quite an adventure to encourage those things to come up from 700 feet down. There were also a lot of mackerel, Chub/Boston, that we were catching on the bottom. They made great bait but it seemed that it was my job to crank those things up for the other guys to catch the big fish with. All of the sharks were released. Wes Blow and Chris Boyce each registered release citations. For Wes, along with a blueline tilefish citation, this makes 6 different citation species already for the year.
