Flounder Bowl 2012<\/p>\n
The \u201cFlounder Bowl\u201d is back. This year’s tournament is scheduled for June 30 with a captains meeting June 29.<\/p>\n
This event is a two-day party with a fishing tournament on the side. The Flounder Bowl is hosted by the Peninsula Salt Water Sport Fisherman’s Association but it is the many businesses that sponsor this event which make it such a great time. These businesses are providing a guaranteed First Place award of $5,000. They also make it possible to provide free food, drink and music for participants at both the captains meeting and at the weigh-in. The sponsors provide for team buckets given out at the captains meeting and they are also providing various prizes which will be given away at the weigh-in. Each team will find door-prize tickets in their team buckets which will give them chances to win these prizes. <\/p>\n
The Flounder Bowl will be held out of Dare Marina and Yacht Sales (www.daremarina.com). Boats will be allowed to fish from any port but the fish must be brought to Dare Marina for weigh-in.<\/p>\n
This is a team tournament with an entry fee of $125 per boat with up to 4 anglers ($100 early entry). Additional anglers will cost $25 each. Winners will be determined by the combined weight of the team’s top three fish. Cash prizes will be paid through six places. <\/p>\n
To give everyone a chance to win, teams not placing in the top six will be entered in a \u201cLucky Dog\u201d drawing. The team drawn will win an additional cash prize. <\/p>\n
There will be a prize for the heaviest flounder caught by a child and a prize for the heaviest flounder caught by a woman in the tournament. There will also be a prize for the heaviest flounder weighed in by a member of the Peninsula Salt Water Sport Fisherman\u2019s Association.<\/p>\n
Teams will be given the option of entering a \u201cBig Fish Calcutta\u201d for an additional $100 entry fee. This is a 100% payout to the team that has entered the Calcutta, which weighs in the single heaviest fish. <\/p>\n
There is a special Sponsors’ Challenge Division where teams entered by the tournament sponsors will compete with each other for the special Sponsors’ Trophy. The winning sponsor will get to keep this trophy until next year’s tournament. Currently, the Sponsors’ Trophy is in the possession of the office of Dr. K. E. Neill. <\/p>\n
The 2011 Flounder Bowl had a total cash payout of $17,450 plus sponsor donated merchandise prizes. The cash payout in 2010 was $14,700. In 2009, the cash payout was $10,900. The winnings are expected to be larger again this year. This is your chance to fish with and against some of the best flounder anglers in the state. There will be food, drink, music, and multiple chances to win. Come on out and join the fun!<\/p>\n
Sponsor support for this event is nothing short of fantastic. These businesses are going out of their way to make sure that the local fishing community has a good time. We encourage Flounder Bowl participants to support the sponsors who make this event possible.<\/p>\n
