If you bring an undersized or oversized fish to the weigh master, you will not be allowed to go back to your ice chest to get a different fish. • Stringer – The team stringer consists of 3 trout and one redfish. Put these fish in the team’s fish bag provided at weigh in. Coolers will not be allowed in the weigh in area, they are allowed in the line. • FISHING LICENSE – You must have a valid/current fishing license from Texas Parks and Wildlife to fish in this tournament. Please fish this tournament by the rules enforced by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Citations for not observing these rules are very expensive; they disqualify your team from the tournament, and could just ruin your day! • “One pole per angler” – You can have more that one rod and reel on the boat, but you cannot fish with more than one at a time. • Team – This is an amateur fishing tournament. Up to four women and one guide/driver per boat. All individuals on the boat must be listed on the registration form. Guides are not allowed to fish, boat drivers are not allowed to fish unless they are one of the ladies on the team. ` • Assistance – Someone may assist you in baiting your hook, casting, and netting. It is your job to “set the hook” and reel the fish to the boat or net. • Fishing Boundaries – South of the Victoria Barge Channel and North of the J.F.K. Causeway. No jetty, surf, dock or pier fishing. Please do not sneak south of the JFK Causeway. • Tournament Waiver – One person from the team must sign and date. Send in with your registration form. • Time – Fishing begins at official sunrise on Saturday, May 19th. Time will be posted at the kick-off meeting on Friday. Weigh in not earlier than 12:00PM and you must be in sight of the weigh master no later than 4:00PM, no exceptions. • Ties – In the event of a weigh tie, length will prevail. Decisions of the weigh master, Bud, are final. • Refusal – Tournament Committee reserves the right to refuse application of entry, with or without cause, at its sole discretion. Any applicant refused entry shall be entitled to a refund of their entry fee. • Altering Fish – The fish weighed in cannot be altered in any way. Tails cannot be cut, nothing can be stuffed in them, and they must be fresh and caught on tournament day. The fish must be caught within the tournament boundaries. • Polygraph – All contestants agree to take a polygraph test if required by a Babes on the Bay or CCA Board Member or the Babes on the Bay weigh master. Such test shall be taken at the time and place requested by the Aransas Bay CCA Chapter. Failure to take or pass a polygraph will result in disqualification from this tournament and all future “Babes” events. The individual taking the test may be a team member or the guide/boat driver. • If you have ever been disqualified from any fishing tournament, you will not be qualified to fish Babes on the Bay • Information - Call Karol Scardino @ 361-386-0028 or email: karol.scardino@gmail.com |
