-DIVISIONS and ENTRY FEES-
ALL TACKLE DIVISION: $45.00 (Seniors $20.00) $55.00 with Special Activities fee
The All Tackle Division is open to adults using any type of
rod and reel including the flyrod. Persons who have reached their
65th birthday on or before the opening day of the Derby will be
registered as Seniors.
JUNIOR ALL TACKLE DIVISION: $20.00
The Junior All Tackle Division is open to persons who have not
reached their 15th birthday on the opening day of the Derby. Mini
Juniors are 4-8 and Juniors age 9-14. Mini Jr. will compete with
Juniors for Grand Awards. There will be special Grand Awards for
Mini Jr. Juniors may use any type of rod and reel including
flyrod. Except where noted, the Junior Division will follow the
rules of the All Tackle Division.
The M.V. Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby Committee strongly
discourages parents from taking children out of school to go
fishing. For many years we have had an unwritten rule that no
junior may fish during school hours. It is unsportsmanlike to do
so when all other juniors are attending school. We expect all
parents to enforce this commitment to education and good
sportsmanship.
FLYROD DIVISION: $45.00 Adults, $20.00 Juniors and Seniors
The Flyrod Division is open only to persons using flyrods.
Flyrod Division competitors will be issued a separate Flyrod badge
and number and will fish under the rules of this Derby
AND the I.G.F.A. (Maximum tippet strength
twenty (20) pounds). If a Flyrod competitor is also entered in one
of the All Tackle Divisions, he may enter his fish in either
division (but not both) must be announced to the Weigh-Master
PRIOR TO THE WEIGHING OF THAT FISH. That fish is then eligible for
the Grand and Grand Slam Awards, regardless of the division it is
entered in. Fish may not be entered in the Flyrod Division
weighing less than four (4) pounds. Juniors fishing in the Flyrod
Division will be considered as adults and must meet the same
minimum weight requirements as adults.
PAYMENT OF ENTRY FEES:
Payment of Entry Fees may be by cash or personal check. There
will be a $25.00 service charge for returned checks which, along
with the Entry Fee must be paid in cash. Failure to do so will
disqualify the entrant from further participation in the Derby and
forfeiture of any prizes.
