ALL FISHING CONTEST RULES: AND CHANGES

 

 1- 100% of all monthly receipts will be awarded to contest winners.

 You must enter contest and pay the entrance fee of $2.00 per fish. Example: $20.00 is received for a specific fish i.e. Bluefish, 3 blues were caught and entered (weighed in). The total money in this category is $20.00. 1st place 50% or $10.00, 2nd place 30% or $6.00, 3rd place 20% or $4.00.

 

 NOW If only one fish is weighed in ALL the money collected, 100% goes to the 1st place fish. If there is a 1st and 2nd fish entered the split is 60-40.

 

 2- Each month our Chairmen of the Fishing Contests, Robert Mauro, will inform the club members of approximately how much is available for the current month by fish species. 

 

 3- Bonus Money. For the 10 contest months an additional $25.00 (cash) will be awarded each month to a 1st place winner with a total of $250.00 awarded during the contest.  An eligible fish species will be drawn and the 1st place contest winner for that species will receive an additional $25.00. Only fish that have an entry for that month will have a chance to win.       

 

4 – Added; Special Tournament Days

All club organized Fishing Trips held on a Head Boat for club Members will be considered a TOURNAMENT DAY. Only members who participate in these club trips will be eligible for Award payouts. The 7 species are eligible for awards,    (see list below) Pay outs are as any Tournament Day 

 

We’ve added to the monthly contest the following species Cod Fish, Blow Fish, Trigger Fish, Porgy, and Kingfish. Hopefully every one will have a chance at the $25 bonus.

                     REMEMBER YOU MUST BE IN IT TO WIN IT

 

With our 2 tournament days per month with NO ENTRANCE FEE, which pays 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at $25, $15 and $10 for the seven species listed. Also $75.00 for the largest of each species, WEAKFISH, BLUEFISH, STRIPED BASS, FLUKE, SEA BASS, BLACKFISH AND COD. You can walk away from our AWARDS BANQUET with a HEFTY SUM $$$$$$$.  We believe that these changes will be a positive incentive to participate in our Monthly Contest and Tournament Days hopefully it will encourage camaraderie within our club.

 

Weigh-in Procedures

 The official weigh-in stations are: Grizz’s Forked River Bait & Tackle, L&H Woods & Water, Fish Bonz and Lacey Marine.  When weighing in a fish, you must initial the weigh-in sheet, which verifies the information. All fish caught in New Jersey Waters must be weighed in at one of the above stations.

 

                                                           Club Record

 A fish submitted for a club record may be taken from any location, there is no geographical limitation.  For fish caught out of state you must submit a weigh-in slip including species name, length and weight on letterhead, or business card or invoice from that station signed by the weigh master, tournament chairman, or Captain of the vessel A Club Record Form must be submitted to Ken Rylak and attached to the weigh-in slip from one of our official stations or other documentation as described above. The BOD shall approve all records before becoming official.

 

One final note: Perhaps this rule has not been properly communicated in the past but you personally have to catch the fish you enter in all of these contests/tournaments and not enter a fish caught by someone else on your boat. This is an individual contest and besides we are all friends and family and we expect SPORTSMANSHIP.

 

            Thank you, Good Fishing and be Safe out there,    

                    Fish Hawks, Officers and Board Members
