SIGN IN TIME: 6:15 a.m. to 6:45 a.m.
SIGN IN LOCATION: Beach just south and west of the first Fort Desoto toll booth
LAUNCH / FISHING TIME: 7:00 a.m. A horn will sound at launch time.
FORMAT: You may bring a maximum of 3 fishing rods. You can fish using anything hook and line and legal. Artificial lures in any configuration from a Mann's Giganitcus down to a Johnson Beetle Spin. If you want to rig a Spook Jr that is trailed by a Logic Wiggly Jiggly with a Gambler Tube bait on it, go right ahead. Live and dead bait is allowed. You can even use GULP. You can dead stick. You can troll. You can bring the largest tackle box full of whatever you want as long as its legal (i.e. no treble hooks in live or dad bait, etc.)
POINTS FORMAT: The scoring will be the inches of your 3 largest fish and those 3 fish must be at least 2 species. (example - 2 redfish and one trout is good. One trout, 1 ladyfish and 1 monster jack is good. 3 redfish is not) However, the fish MUST be on a measuring board. If the fish goes off the end of your measuring board you only get credit for the length of your board. (example - a 6 foot shark on a 36 inch measuring board gets 36 points)
You can also get points before the event. Get a quote for Home, Auto, Boat, RV and/or Renters insurance from Llewellyn Insurance Services before the event and you get 10 points. You can have 10 points before you even launch on February 15 AND you might even save some money on your insurance! No purchase is required.
You can also get 10 points for texting me a picture the day of the event. The picture must have you, your kayak, a fish you caught and the angler token in the picture. I'm always asking you guys for pictures from these events and getting very few. Consider this a bribe.
