The goal of Fisherman’s Post Newspaper and its sponsors has been to create a fun-filled, premiere inshore fishing event. Catch fish, visit with old friends, make some new friends, and have a good time.
For your convenience, the tournament is structured with no check-outs and no boundaries, and the weigh-in will once again be at Wrightsville Beach Marina. And, as always, this tournament is the weekend after Memorial Day weekend.
This year they’ve continued on a popular feature of the tournament–the live flounder and live trout bonus payouts. Once again they’re paying out a $20 bonus for every flounder and trout weighed in alive that makes the leader board. The sponsors have been quick to back this feature of the tournament.
Last year over 90% of the fish brought to the scales came in alive. The trout were released and the flounder were either released or donated to local flounder hatcheries. This year once again some of the fish will be donated for stock enhancement and renourishment, and the others will be released.
So by fishing in the tournament, you will be part of a larger, long term effort to help build up and sustain our local fishery.
The beneficiary is the Cape Fear Community College Sea Devil Club, the backbone of support for CFCC’s Athletic Program. The primary mission of CFCC Athletics is to serve the needs of CFCC students by providing quality student-athlete programs, each program being built on a foundation of integrity, excellence, and scholarship.
