Title: Mid Atlantic 500 Tournament
Post by: njbob49 on August 20, 2018, 05:54:22 PM

This tournament started today.  I totally forgot until I just got an email to watch at the scales.  Only 44 boats fished today, so you did not miss much. 35 from Ocean City and 9 from Cape May.  Hopefully there are no problems with this one. https://www.themidatlantic.com/index.html (https://www.themidatlantic.com/index.html)

they did do a crappy job getting the word out. Not even that many hashtags(the pound sign) from pics I see through searching other people. What's cool though is if you go to the leaderboard, you can click on the boat's name and it give you a rundown of their daily action (releases, weigh-ins).

Thanks for the update.  It is windier than forecast though.  cfzd Cape May Beach Cam is reporting NNW at 29MPH. Last updated Offshore forecast was 4:37 AM.  Fishing for white marlin and big eye tuna has been excellent, so it will be interesting at the scales today.

Guess they had some guys make a last minute decision to stay in. Now says 127 boats.
