WATER COURTESY: Do your best not to disturb someone else’s fishing area, by encroachment, or noise. If you come upon an angler in an egress area, as quietly as you can, ask which side he or she would like you to cross at.

PROTEST: All protests must be made in writing and delivered to a Tournament official within 30 minutes of the check-in time. The tournament director is the final authority in all considerations. All anglers are encouraged to report cheating – cheating in a fishing tournament is a crime in the state of Louisiana.

Any entrant that does not make the 4pm sign-in cut off, will not be allowed to weigh their catch and will not qualify for any fishing awards. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Official time will be kept by the Tournament Directors at the weigh-in stations. Anglers are strongly urged not to wait until the last minute to sign-in to submit their catch for weigh-in. Weigh in time is the tie breaker. Weigh-in will start a short time after the 4:00 PM sign in deadline has passed. All competitors must check in with legal fish (LAW&F Regulations) to be eligible for fishing prizes. All fish submitted for weigh-in must be fresh and caught on the day of the tournament. The weigh master will make decisions on accepting fish for weigh-in, their decision is final. Any attempt to enter fraudulent catch, exchanging catches, tamper with catch, or to hamper or threaten any official of the tournament will result in immediate disqualification. Only authorized persons will be allowed in the stations. You will receive a token when you check in at the sign-in table; your catch will be weighed in the order according to your token. All weighed / entered fish will be not returned, as it will be used in the post tourney fish fry. The largest fish will be determined by weight. In the event of a tie, the first fish entered will be considered the winner, and the other will be dropped to the next position. (Redfish will be bent, and loosened straight before being measured with a pinched tail to ensure they are not 27" or longer.) When your token number is called entrant should weigh all fish at that time.
2011 Rule Changes: 3 fish slams will be placed ahead of any two fish slams. As always you may catch fish while outside of your kayak, however, that kayak must not be “trailered” or on your vehicle. Your kayak must be launched and within 100 ft. of you. When you surrender your ticket at weigh in: it is final. You may not enter the weigh in area more than one time. If you are not sure of the size of your fish you should bring your entire cooler to weigh in. We have extended the fishing area to include the east side of the Mississippi south of the Belle Chase Tunnel.
