Each partner will weigh their heaviest fish up to 10 fish (anything
with a gill). The angler may be assisted with casting and reeling
should be based on tasks that they are not able to complete on
their own. An angler may ask for a courtesy bump before fish are
weighed without penalty. Weigh-ins will follow the rules and
regulations of the PVA Bass Tournament Series, a tournament series
sanctioned by B.A.S.S.
In case of uneven teams, anglers with the highest weight on the
team will weigh in with both partners, allowing them the
opportunity to double place. There are no restrictions on
length/type of poles, rods and reels if safety is not an issue. One
rod and one reel with a maximum of 2 hooks or one artificial lure,
factory built, with more than two hooks can be used. If a lure is
deemed questionable, the bass official will decide
if it can be used. Artificial and prepared bait can be used.
Chumming is not allowed unless done by the bass lead official and
for the benefit of all. A competitor must take lines out of the
water and stop fishing. If away from his/her tackle 10 feet or
more. Casting must be completed in a straight pattern.
All anglers and volunteers can cast 11:00, 12:00, 1:00. Weather
conditions may affect the flow in various directions. If this
occurs the bass lead official will adjust the locations of the
anglers. No electronic devices may be used.
