Tim Johnson, our Tournament Director, would like to remind everyone:

  1. Running lights must be on until dawn.  This violation is grounds for disqualification and a State law.
  2. Stay out of: NO BOAT AREAS; 1st time Warning; 2nd time disqualification.
  3. You must be at least 50 from swim areas and cannot tie up to buoys.
  4. Please observe NO WAKE AREAS.
  5. Also, it helps to pay for the tournament well before weigh-in.  At the meeting is ideal, but before the weigh-in starts cuts down on the mayhem during.  
  6. If you pre-pay for a tournament at the meeting and find you cannot make the tournament, contact any club officer before 8:00 PM the Friday before fishing.  
  7. If you leave the tournament early, either sign out at the mailbox or let someone know you are leaving.  
  8. Weigh-in is at 3:30 PM unless changed.  Make sure the tournament director or assistant knows you are on time, especially if there is a line to weigh fish.
  9. Rule #16: There is a 3 fish limit, unless lake rules demand less.  Each contestant must bring 3 fish ONLY to weigh-in.  Fish shall be in weigh-in bags or containers with sufficient water to keep the fish in good condition until they are released.  Failure to do so shall result in a 1 pound penalty.
