There are no set geographical boundaries. Captain’s Meeting: At least one team representative must be present at the Captain’s Meeting (night before first day of fishing) in case of any rule changes. Fish: No mutilated or frozen fish will be weighed. No fish under 10 lbs. will be accepted. Each boat will be allowed to weigh up to 3 wahoo per day, and must be caught the same day they are weighed after marina departure time (7:00 a.m.). All fish must be brought to the weigh station in the boat that they were caught on. Transferring of fish to another boat will result in disqualification. Eligible species for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall, is Wahoo. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall will be awarded based on boat’s aggregate weight of 3 biggest Wahoo over two days. Teams do not have to weigh three wahoo in order to qualify for an aggregate weight, in other words, a team with two wahoo that weigh in aggregate more than another team’s aggregate comprised of three wahoo will still be considered the higher aggregate. Tackle: All fish must be caught on rod and reel. No electric reels are permitted. The only exception to this will be teaser reels and down riggers. The use of handline or rope attached to the line or leader is not allowed. Shooting, harpooning, or lancing is not allowed. Wire lines, kites, and planers are permitted. Live bait, dead bait, and artificial bait are permitted. No live chumming is allowed. There are no restrictions regarding line test. A maximum of six (6) rods lines (with hooks) per boat may be fished at a time; an unlimited amount of hookless baits or teasers are allowed. Fishing Times & Weigh-In: Boats must dock at ALYC and can’t depart the marina earlier than 7:00 a.m. to start fishing. At least one team member (and their fish to weigh) must be in line at the weigh station by 4:30 p.m. each day (11/8/2024 & 11/9/2024). Scales will open at 3:00 p.m. each day. It is each team’s responsibility to be back at the weigh station on time or their fish will not be weighed.
