1.

well. Only one dead fish may be weighed
per boat.
3.
Only artificial lures may be used.
4.
Boats late for weigh-in will have one pound per
minute deducted up to 5 minutes. Over 5
minutes results in DQ.

The boat is not allowed to be pulled, pushed, or
dragged over any levee dam or embankment.

Trolling as a method of fishing is prohibited,
but drift fishing is allowed.

day of the tournament.
13.
The club membership is $30 and entry fee for the
tournaments will be $30 ($5 for big bass and $5 to go back to the club). Kid
14.
There will be no dropped tournaments, AOY will
be the point’s leader from all 10 regular season tournaments.
15.
To qualify for the classic you must fish 6
tournaments and your partner must fish 4.
You may however pay for the next upcoming tournament and not fish. You must have the money sent with a member to
pay your entry the morning of the tournament.
That will count toward your qualification.
16.
EVERY BAG WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE FISH
MEASURED. ONCE THE FISH IS BROUGHT TO
THE TABLE IT IS AS IF YOU ARE WEIGHING IT IN.
MAKE SURE YOUR FISH MEASURES BEFORE IT HITS THE BASKET. Bill has
taken over and will be doing this and help Jesse out on the weigh table. The fish will be measured on a golden rule, if
it does not reach the required length you will be given a 2 pound penalty.
17.
If you are late and cannot find a member of the
committee you MUST have some kind of proof before you start fishing that your
live well is empty. (for example a
picture with you or your partner in it, or take a short video stating the date
of the tournament with proof the live well is empty)
18.
Every bag of fish must have the biggest fish
weighed. This will be the determining
factor in the event of a tie.
19.
There will be no “guest fill in” during the
season. If you fish with a different
partner you are automatically creating a new team. The points you and the new partner receive during
that tournament will go toward the two of you.
20.
ANYBODY that has not recently been an active
member in the club must pay their membership fee 30 days prior to fishing a
tournament. This person must also pay
for the current tournament plus one other tournament along with their
membership. NO EXCEPTIONS.(sign up for new members equals $90 per person)
21.
A new guest can fish a tournament without
waiting the 30 days IF they are fishing with a current member. They are still required to pay the membership
before fishing, and again this will result in a new team and the points earned
will be for said team.
22.
If a team splits up during the season, the club
will split their current point totals.
