90% of entrance fees will go towards cash prizes. 10% of fees will be donated to Reclam the Bay - the organization striving to educate us on our marine environments, and how to sustain them.

Each angler may weigh in their largest fish, in each category, therefor each angler may submit an entry for each species. Each angler may weigh one of each species per day - so anglers can weigh multiple times. (For example, if you catch and weigh a 3 pound skate on July 1st and then catch a 4 pound skate on July 2nd, you may weigh that fish as well.) However, each angler can only win one prize in each category.

We request that you do not waste the fish. Go here to see the recipe section and after having your fish weighed, please try to consume it.

You may fish the ocean, bay, puddle or pond. You may fish by boat, the surf, a bridge, or hand glider. All weigh ins must be caught that day, and not frozen previously. Thermal ionic detectors will be present at each station.

You must submit an email address upon registration. It is this email address that we will use to contact you to claim your prize.
