-DIVISIONS and ENTRY FEES-
An individual may register only once in each division for which he/she is eligible.
ALL TACKLE DIVISION: $45.00 (Seniors $20.00)
The All Tackle Division is open to adults using any type of
rod and reel including 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.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
unsportmanlike to do so when all other juniors are
attending school. We expect all parents to enforce this
commitment to education and to 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/she may enter his/her fish as All Tackle.
The decision to enter a 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
measuring less than Derby length limits. Juniors fishing in the
Flyrod Division will be considered as adults and must meet
the same minimum length 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.
