FLOUNDER POUNDER TICKET DISTRIBUTION DETAILS:
After you pound your flounder, report to one of the three checkpoints where each flounder fishermen with a derby ticket will hold up one flounder and their entry ticket then either clip the tail and keep it or if would like to release it let the captain of official boat see it and let it go (we hope you let them go if you are not going to eat them).
CAPTAIN MUST SEE YOUR ENTRY TICKET OR SEE YOU CLIP TAIL AND OR RELEASE TO GET EACH TICKET, Everyone in your boat your with an entry ticket will receive one numbered ticket for each check point visited and entered flounder. We will put tickets on a boat hook or pole and get to you so you don’t have to raft up.
