Fisherman's Post Spring Inshore Challenge

Intra Club Flounder Points System

 Points are awarded, for Flounder only, in each of the five designated tournaments. First place Flounder gets 60 points, Second place  flounder gets 59 points . . . Fifth place gets 56 points and on down the line. If twenty people fish and only five flounder are entered, everyone else gets Sixth place (sixth through twenty gets 55 points). The entry fee for each tournament is $25.00 per person. The normal payoff has been changed due to large turnouts: either 2,3,4 or 5 places will be split. (15 people or less- 60% + 40%, 16 people or more - 50% + 30% + 20%, 40 people or more - 40% + 30% + 20% + 10%, 70 people or more 30% + 25% + 20% + 15% + 10% ). The club keeps 10% of the purse as a retainer.

 The club will award a plaque plus a cash prize for the top five finishers in accumulated points over the five tournaments. In addition, the next five finishers will receive a cash prize. The person that finishes in 1st place in points for the year will receive a free flounder mount donated by "Hunter's Haven Taxidermy" for the largest flounder caught during the year by that individual. ( It will be the winners resposibility to keep up with the length and girth). There is no entry fee: you are automatically entered when you fish an Intra Club Tournament. The top 45 places will be posted on website and updated after each tournament.

 The five designated Tournaments will be held at Carolina Beach with dates posted in advance. If you can't fish one, you can pay the entry fee and still receive last place points. In case of a tie in points at the seasons end, the person with the largest Flounder in the Tournament wins.

 Due to the large turnout we have gone to a 60 point system.

Flounder Warm Up Tournament

 The flounder warm up tournament scheduled for May 24th has been cancelled due to the fact that it is Memorial Day weekend and we had several requests to reschedule the tournament to another day. With our first points tournament just a few weeks away it would be impossible to reschedule. The Fisherman's Post tournament is May 17th and it can serve as a warm up just like last year. This year the club has donated $250.00 to the "Got-Em-On" club member that catches the largest flounder in the tournament and also the club cup is up for grabs.
