Day One Fishing
Monday, August 22 2011

The back end of a cold front brought a fresh breeze, thunderstorms and cool temperatures to the entire region overnight and a mixed-up four to six foot sea kept all but 13 boats tied to the dock on Day One of the 2011 Mid-Atlantic $ 500,000. The field is now set and 117 boats have entered sportfishing’s “Main Event” to battle for a share of the cash purse which is set at $ 1,539,130.

The white marlin, blue marlin and tuna categories all remain vacant as no qualifying fish were weighed in. There also was no dolphin weighed. There was, however, a qualifying wahoo caught as Captain Ken Gallup wheeled John Stavola’s Milling Around to the scales at Canyon Club in Cape May and weighed a 47-pound ‘hoo to take the early lead in the category.

Boats with billfish releases verified by committee boats on Day One include Ernest Audet’s Lisa K with four white marlin and one blue marlin released and Gaspar Marino, Jr.’s Wadamacallit with three white marlin released. John McNamara’s Rodeo and Bill Wrede’s lovin’ Life eachreleased two white marlin and Dean Shacklett’s Flying Label released a white marlin and a blue marlin.

Please note the Mid-Atlantic $ 500,000 is a private event and not open to the general public. Tournament credentials are required for access to any tournament activities and facilities.
