According to Fluke

Fluke fishermen young and old will be out in force this weekend as the 12th annual fluke tournament sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign War Post 9261 gets under way.

Lines go in the water at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. The weigh-in station is the VFW Post headquarters on Towanticut avenue in Oak Bluffs. Last year the fishing contest attracted close to 130 anglers, according to Peter Herrmann, chairman of the event.

Registration is at Dick’s Bait and Tackle Shop on New York avenue in Oak Bluffs, Larry’s Tackle Shop on Upper Main street in Edgartown, and Coop’s Bait and Tackle Shop on the Edgartown-West Tisbury Road in Edgartown. The fee is $20 for adults, and $10 for students and seniors. Children 12 and under are free, but still must register. Teams (no more than four on a team) are charged an additional $40.

The weigh-in station will be open from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. A cookout and awards ceremony will be held on Sunday; top prize is a kayak.
