Each 3-person team will fish on a different boat each day, which is decided at the captain’s meeting. We follow IGFA rules - The game fish specified by the I.G.F.A. shall be eligible for the 2006 tournament, with the exception of ALL SHARKS. We will continue to use a points rather than the factor scoring system. Minimum weights are equal to or greater than line test with the exception of tuna, which is 18lb. Eligible release fish for line test:
BILLFISH, YELLOWFIN & BLACKFIN TUNA ONLY
Blue Marlin = 250lbs White Marlin = 75lbs Sailfish = 50lbs
Yellowfin/Blackfin Tuna (150 release points)
Scoring Points are as follows:
Up to 35.9lbs = 15 points per lb
36-59.9lbs = 25 points per lb
60lbs & up = 40 points per lb
Most of the fishing is done at anchor with chumming. No lines or chum in the water before 9am.
The tournament entry fee will be $7,950 per team ($2,350 per angler). The entry fee covers the cost of the boats and functions (excluding any transportation costs and drinks and raffle at the BBQ and Prize Presentation Dinner). Team deposits of $500 are due by 2nd Mrach 2008 with the balance due 15th May 2008. If non-fishing guests are coming then there is a $125 charge to attend all the functions. Anglers bring all their own tackle and provide their own food/drink while fishing. Tipping of captains and mates is at the discretion of the anglers and is not included in the tournament fees.

Most visiting anglers stay at Rosemont Guest Apartments. It is self-catering which allows for easy preparation of food/ drink for the boat and if you want to go out it is very close to shops and restaurants.
