Rules:
Anglers must pre-register for each tournament. Registration closes
at 3:30 p.m. the Thursday prior to the tournament date. Anyone
through the age of 16 may participate
in the tournaments. Anglers need to
provide their own tackle, and only
artificial lures may be used (no live
bait). There is no entry fee, only a
$1 entrance fee into the parks.
These are all catch and release
tournaments. All fish must be
Released for points to count. ***There will
be a dead fish penalty for any fish that
does not swim away***. Fishing is from 7:30 am – 10:30 am. A maximum of 70 anglers (35 in each age category) will be allowed to fish in each tournament. There is a 3 fish limit, 10 inch minimum. Only peacock and largemouth bass will
count in the tournament. Anyone age 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Fishing is
restricted to the shore. In the case of a tie, angler with
biggest fish wins. All tournament committee decisions are
final.
Points:
Points will be accumulated from each tournament. Points
will be given to each angler for fishing in each tournament
even if he/she does not catch any fish. After the last
tournament in October all participants' points will be totaled
and the top 20 anglers will be invited to fish the Classic.
Wildcard Tournament and Classic:
There will be a wild card tournament in November. The top
three anglers from the Wild Card tournament will be invited to fish in the Classic. To be eligible for the Wild Card
