The ESMC Marlin Tournament is the last weekend of July. This is a great Tournament with a Seafood/Pig Roast Cookout on Thursday night then fish 2 out of 3 days. On Monday night there will be a nice banquet and awards presentation. Nita Dream done well taking 3rd place for releasing 2 White Marlin.

Then there is the biggest one of all the White Marlin Open this is the first week of August last year Wachapreague was added as one of the ports that you can leave from which is nice because we are the closest port to both the Washington and Norfolk Canyon.

Now I understand why everyone flocks here to fish, it is really fun, especially when you don't have to touch anything slimy! Lou, what a great story...when you reeled in that huge fish with so many other boaters around :)

Wachapreague Inn Keeper's first flounder

Nikki Wardius "The Wachapreague Inn Keeper" caught her first and second flounder Friday during the tournament. She also lost one at the boat that could have possibly gone in the cooler. Too bad.

The 20th annual flounder tournament is underway and all gloves are off. Leading the charge is a Huge 9 lb 12 oz ( that's right 9 lb 12 oz) 29" DOOR MAT. Second is 6 lb 9 oz 25 1/2" flatty caught by Louetta Neighoff on the charter boat Marlin Magic. Louetta caught 3 keepers Friday.

Weather has been beautiful and the seas are peaceful. We will update daily.

Flounder report for the last few days -average 10-30 fish with 15% keeper ratio. The biggest one I heard of was 25" caught by Fred Engall's group (also 19" & 19 1/2"). They were the first to stay in our newly renovated house - they loved it - "they thought they died & went to heaven"

Room 1 over the last few days caught about 80 fish with 14 keepers. The biggest was 4 1/2 lbs. They were trolling around Green & Drawing Channels.

The forecast is clear for the next five days - 77 degrees on Friday - a perfect start to Cap't Zed's Tournament. Check out Don's Tackle Shop's website for more fishing reports.

Great news - the season has started - Rooms 5 & 6 caught 25 fish with 6 keepers on Thurs 4/1, and again on Friday - 25 fish with 5 keepers. Room 13 caught 30 fish with 6 keepers.
