Each 3-person team fishes on a different charter boat each of the 4 fishing days, which
is decided at the captain’s meeting. We follow IGFA rules - The game fish specified by the I.G.F.A. shall be eligible
for the 2011 tournament, with the exception of ALL SHARKS. We use a points rather than the factor scoring system. Minimum
weights are equal to or greater than line test with the exception of tuna, which is 18lb. Eligible release fish for line test:
BILLFISH, YELLOWFIN & BLACKFIN TUNA ONLY
Blue Marlin = 250lbs White Marlin = 75lbs Sailfish
= 50lbs
Yellowfin/Blackfin Tuna (150 release points)
Scoring Points are as follows:
Up to 35.9lbs
= 15 points per lb
36-59.9lbs = 25 points per lb
60lbs & up = 40 points per lb
Most of
the fishing is done at anchor with chumming. No lines or chum in the water before 8.30am.
The 2010
tournament entry fee was $8,250 per team ($2,750 per angler). The entry fee covers the cost of the boats and functions (excluding
any transportation costs and drinks and raffle at the BBQ and Prize Presentation Dinner). Team deposits of $500 are due by
2nd March 2011 with the balance due 5th May 2011. If non-fishing guests are coming then there is a $135 charge to attend all
the functions. Anglers bring all their own tackle and provide their own food/drink while fishing. Tipping of captains and
mates is at the discretion of the anglers and is not included in the tournament fees.
