3.  There is a 4 fish limit per boat, 12 inch size limit.  A short fish will throw out the fish in question as well as your team's largest fish.  Our board makes the deciding rule.  The big fish will break all ties.

4.  Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass only.  All boats must have a working aerated live well to fish.

5.  4 oz. penalty for every dead fish, this will be deducted from the team's total weight.  If you bring more than 4 fish to the scales your team will be disqualified.

7.  Artificial bait only / no trolling.

8. 50-foot distance from an anchored tournament boat must be maintained.

17.  If a tournament is canceled due to bad weather or any similar reason, it will not be re-scheduled unless it is the Classic.  (Please refer to website homepage for any cancellations.)  For any delays the directors may hold the event back until it is safe to launch or for other reasons, and the tournament may or may not be moved.

18.  A person may waive 1 tournament and buy into the Classic.  They will be responsible for the missed $40 entry fee per person and must sign the waiver/entry form for record purposes.
