Home - Auto - Boat - RV - Business

LAUNCH / FISHING TIME: 7:00 a.m. A horn will sound at launch time.

FORMAT: You may bring a maximum of 3 fishing rods. You can fish using anything hook and line and legal. Artificial lures in any configuration from a Mann's Giganitcus down to a Johnson Beetle Spin. If you want to rig a Spook Jr that is trailed by a Logic Wiggly Jiggly with a Gambler Tube bait on it, go right ahead. Live and dead bait is allowed. You can even use GULP. You can dead stick. You can troll. You can bring the largest tackle box full of whatever you want as long as its legal (i.e. no treble hooks in live or dad bait, etc.)

POINTS FORMAT: The scoring will be the inches of your 3 largest fish and those 3 fish must be at least 2 species. (example - 2 redfish and one trout is good. One trout, 1 ladyfish and 1 monster jack is good. 3 redfish is not) However, the fish MUST be on a measuring board. If the fish goes off the end of your measuring board you only get credit for the length of your board. (example - a 6 foot shark on a 36 inch measuring board gets 36 points)

You can also get points before the event. Get a quote for Home, Auto, Boat, RV and/or Renters insurance from Llewellyn Insurance Services before the event and you get 10 points. You can have 10 points before you even launch on February 15 AND you might even save some money on your insurance! No purchase is required.

You can also get 10 points for texting me a picture the day of the event. The picture must have you, your kayak, a fish you caught and the angler token in the picture. I'm always asking you guys for pictures from these events and getting very few. Consider this a bribe.

JUDGING CUT OFF TIME IS: 1330 hours. 1:30 pm.

COST: $10 per angler. Exact change required at sign in, please.

PIC N' SIP: Boardwalk Pasta and Seafood, 5901 Sun Boulevard, Saint Petersburg, FL 33715

PRIZES: The pot will be split as usual with 50% to 1st, 30% to 2nd and 20% to 3rd. There will also be prizes for largest fish categories. In addition to that, Llewellyn Insurance Services will be paying out "Trash Can Cash". This is $50 for the 3 largest "trash" fish - ladyfish, lizardfish, pinfish. If one or all of those are not caught, we may substitute on game day so take a picture of EVERYTHING!

LAUNCH AREA & BOUNDARY: - EVERYONE will launch from the beach where we hold the morning sign in. You can fish as far as you can paddle from the launch and get back in time. Everyone must put in and take out at the beach where we hold the sign in.

NOTE: The 'must be a member' for 30 day rule will be strictly enforced.

Sign In - No limit on number of anglers. 23 as of Jan 29

Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

I'd like to get in on this one.

Is the green line in the photo a out of bounds area? Oh and you have the beach south and west of the toll booth pinned.

No, that green line was on Google Earth. I think it marks the boundary of the preserve or something.

Good catch. I'll fix that.
