Bower’s Beach Flounder Action Continues

Shirley aboard the Reliable II said that Sunday morning started off with lots of Headboater enthusiasts who had one thing on their mind — winning the Reliable’s June Mega Monster Cash Pot Contest.

The June Mega Monster Cash Pot had jumped to $149.00. Several flounder shorts were caught and a heartbreaking almost close legal flounder was caught by Fay Griffith, which was 18 1/4″ long and thrown back.

Not a one croaker was caught or even seen. Finally, cries of “Fish On” broke the silence. Fay Griffith from Seaford, Delaware hooked into a big one. At first, she thought it was a skate, because it did not want to come off of the bottom.

The flattie put up one heck of a fight and ran several times. Fay was in complete control and handled the fight like a pro. Fay’s Flounder weighed in at 5-1/2 pounds and 25 inches in length. Congratulations to Fay.

Fay also won the onboard fish pool which was quite large with her flounder. Shirley said that she is sending a challenge to all of you guys out there in computer land, she said that she hopes you are not going to let a sweet little lady beat you out of this month’s Cash Pot.

As of the last day in June, if no one else beats Fay’s Flounder, Fay will be the winner. The Mega Monster Cash Pot Contest for the Month of July will start this coming Wednesday. The annual Mega Monster Cash Pot Contest is over $200.00 and will only get bigger as the 2009 fishing season gets underway.

The annual cash pot will be worth several hundred dollars and may be over $1,000 by season’s end.

Starting Wednesday, July 1, the Monthly Cash Pot Contest will start all over again. The annual Cash Pot keeps rolling over and over to the end of the Fishing season.
