Rules
1. All IGFA Rules apply.

2. Sharks may be shot for boating purposes but will not qualify as an IGFA record. No harpoons or use of bang sticks allowed.
3. All boats must leave the Ocean City, MD or Indian River, DE inlet or Chincoteague, VA. Boats leaving from Chincoteague must bring their fish to the scales by boat. No boat may pass the sea buoy before 5:00 a.m. No boat may begin fishing before 7:00 a.m.

4. Fishing hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. No chunking/chumming prior to lines in. All lines must be removed from the water by 3:00 p.m. Fish hooked before 3:00 p.m.
may be played until boated or released.

5. A fish may be hooked by anyone. However, the rod must be transferred
immediately to the angler after hook-up. The angler from that time must fight the fish alone until boated or released. In the event that a boat becomes disabled, contestants may transfer to a second boat and assume the original boat number without any additional charge or penalty. In the event a boat becomes disabled while fighting a fish, the angler may NOT transfer to another boat or get assistance in fighting or boating the fish from another boat.

6. A team may declare its ‘lay day’ at registration. Teams not declaring their lay day or wishing to change their fishing days must inform tournament officials by phone (410-289-7438) or VHF radio between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. the day that they are fishing. If a call is not received and no lay day selected, the boat will be considered FISHING. Any change of plans must be called in by 8:00 a.m.

7. All fish must be weighed at Bahia Marina. Scales open at 3:30 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. Catch may be trucked from Delaware, Maryland or Virginia marinas inside the Tournament area. In the event of a breakdown of the primary scale, fish will be weighed on a second (calibrated) manual device. All weight will be considered valid and final. No team member may fish more than two days in the tournament.

8. All cash prizes determined by the Tournament Committee. All decisions are final. In the event of a protest, all parties will submit in writing their objections no later than 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, 2007. ($100 protest fee – non-refundable).
