TOURNAMENT GUIDELINES:

Anglers can register for both fly and spin but your 3 fish must come from either fly or spin, Angler can not combine fly and spin. Angler’s are able to compete in both.

  • Guides are permitted and guided boats are judged in the same category as non-guided
  • No fishing offshore, off the beach, on wrecks or jetties; no fishing impoundments, spillways, or ponds; no chumming; no unsportsmanlike shenanigans. This is an inshore tournament only – Do not go beyond the Inlets
  • All applicable North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and Federal fishing and boating regulations apply.
  • Anglers must allow a 100-yard berth to all boats during the tournament. The first boat in an area has the right of way. A boat may pass within 100 yds of the first boat, but may not fish within 100 yds of the first boat unless the boat with the right of way gives explicit permission to the 2nd boat.
  • Boats must have tournament pennants visible.
  • Burning of shoreline is prohibited.
  • You cannot take your boat out of the water and move locations. This will lead to disqualification.
  • Max Tippet is 15lbs.
  • Wading is permitted
  • No Sinking line allowed.
  • Most importantly, this is for charity and good times, treat others how you would like to be treated.

Photo Requirements:

Once you catch a drum, take a photo of your catch with the wrist band, submit the photo to our judges for scoring, and track live leaderboard updates all within the iAnger app!

  • Only Official tournament Wrist band permitted
  • Fish must be photographed and measured on an approved measuring device
  • Measurement on a standard ruler must be clearly visible with the FLY or SPIN required wrist band shown in the photo.
  • Photo must also be time stamped and dated to count, screenshot will not be accepted

  • Only paid Anglers with wristbands can enter a fish, everyone fishing on the boat MUST be entered into the tournament.
  • In the case of a dispute or suspicion of cheating occurs, winner could be subject to a lie detector test. The opposition angler would have to put up the $100 to cover the test. If the winner passes the test, opposition loses the $100.
