Tournament boundaries are from Rehoboth Bay Canal entrance to Roosevelt Inlet entrance, and Broadkill River to Oyster Rocks Road. Anglers must fish from a boat that is not moored to land.
Entry fee of $40 per angler is to be paid at the Lewes Harbour Marina Bait & Tackle shop before 7 a.m. on Friday May 20, with $20 of each entry fee being donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
This is a Flounder Tournament only. All state and federal regulations regarding fishing and boating apply. Fishing time is from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and all fish weighed must have been caught on hook and line by a registered contestant. Fish must be weighed at Lewes Harbour Marina’s scale any time after 7 a.m. but no later than 4 p.m. by Lewes Harbour Marina’s clock. It is recommended that contending fish be weighed soon after they are caught, preferably alive.
