Rules:

 1.  All State and Federal Laws Apply

2. Professional start at the end of the NO WAKE zone in the mouth of the .
     Baron River.  Anglers shall put themselves in approximate order according
     to team number.  At 7:00 AM, teams will be released in order of their
     registration time at approximately 5-15 second intervals.  All boats must
     idle by the committee boat when their number is called with all hatches
     open including coolers and live wells.  Tournament staff is not responsible
     for you or your team not making checkout.  The committee boat will
     remain at start point until 7:30AM unless all tournament boats are
     accounted for prior to this time.

3.  Weigh station opens at 3:00PM and closes at 5:000PM.  This means
     you must be checked in with whoever is keeping the weight log.
     Weigh-in location will be at The Seafood Depot.

4.  The Weigh Masters word is final.

5.  All baits are legal (live, artificial, dead.)

6.  All fish weighed in must be alive. Dead fish will result in a 1/2 pound
     penalty per fish.  We will not accept any fish that is not alive or has not
     been properly kept on ice.  If you leave fish out to spoil, your team
     will be disqualified.  Any mutilated fish will not be scored

7.  If you weigh in an illegal fish, your team will be disqualified for that day

8.  We will be weighing to the hundredth of a pound.

9.  If you are caught or if we have a legitimate reason to believe
     that your team cheated you will be disqualified and never
     invited back.

10. Disabled tournament boats that do not make the 5:00PM weigh
      in will not be allowed to weigh their fish.

11. Teams that help a disabled boat and arrive at weigh in after
      5:00PM will be allowed to weigh there fish. However they need
      to make contact with Brad Lundy (myself) at (863) 634-7315 ASAP!

12. Each team will attempt to weigh in 1 legal Snook that is
     28 inches or longer per day.  Snook will be measured on a
     tournament  provided measuring board and photographed with
     your own digital camera. Each team will be responsible for turning
     their memory stick in with their score card at weigh in. When
     measuring Snook, we will round up to the nearest half inch.
     One inch will equal 1 point, and the team with the most point at
     the end of 2 days will determine the division winner.

13. Each team will also attempt to weigh in 2 legal Redfish per day
     with the combined weight of 4 Redfish determining the division
     winner. One pound will equal 1 point.

14. The overall winner of the tournament will be determined by
     adding the total inches of Snook caught with the total pounds
     of Redfish caught.

15. No wade fishing; however, you may wade to catch bait.

16. Children 10 years or younger may ride along during tournament fishing
     at no additional fee and will not count against a team's 4 possible
     entries.  Anyone over 10 years old must enter as an adult.

17. A team will consist of 2 to 4 anglers.
