In Case of Hurricane....
If for some reason the tournament is totally canceled do to weather (i.e. hurricane) all money will be refunded minus the $25 for the shirt. We will still distribute the shirts to the people who are eligible (non eligible shirt participants will receive a full refund). You must register by August 20th in order to be **guaranteed** a t-shirt. All fish size & bag limits must abide by NC saltwater guidelines, or get DQ’ed. You will be automaticallyDQ’ed if you bring a flounder to the scales this year. Please invite friends & family! Last year we had just over 200 participants and this year should have quite a few more!
2024 Rules
General
-3 Longest flounder win 1st -3rd
-In case of a tie, weigh time decides winner by who weighed fish first.
-Weigh master has final say in regard to size
-No Bitching!!!
-Rod and Reel Only
Measuring
-Flounder must be measured on a hard ruler with a stop. NO soft rulers/cooler rulers etc. Link to Chek-It Stick when you click the photo to the right.
-If ruler has 1/8’ increments that’s better so that every little bit counts
-If the fish length lands between to increments that length will be rounded down to the closest increment. Example: If the tip of the tail lands between 22-1/2’ and 22-3/4” that fish will be counted as a 22-1/2” fish. Hence the reason a ruler with 1/8” increments ishighly suggested.
Picture must include:
-Fish’s mouth slid to the stop, mouth has to be closed, Flatty card placed on fish with special character drawn on card. (Special character will be announced the night before the tournament)
-Picture must be clear and legible and be of the entire flounder on the ruler.
