I just got back from a long first night of scales action for Day 1 of the 2022 MidAtlantic Tournament and it was a busy one. 78 total boats fished today and there was tons of action going on in Cape May, NJ, but only one boat weighed in Ocean City, MD. There was so much activity in Cape May that scales stayed open 45 minutes late to get all of the fish weighed. Here’s who’s winning what after the first day of fishing.

1st Place Random Chaos 490 Pounds
2nd Place Three’s Enough 459 Pounds

2nd Place Caitlin 28 Pounds
Outside of the tournament it was a pretty quiet day of fishing, but Madelyne Rowan and some of the Motsko clan headed out with Captain Wayne Blanks on Bayside Guide Service and had some fun. Madelyne landed this keeper flounder just outside of the Commercial Harbor.
Melissa caught this keeper flounder and a bonus kingfish while fishing on the Tortuga out of Bahia Marina.
