Bio Security

All keep nets and landing nets (not handles) will be provided by the fishery. Anglers are not permitted to use their own nets.

Additional Rules

Any competitor leaving his peg for whatever reason must withdraw his line from the water or he will be disqualified.

If a competitor is playing a fish when all out is called, an additional 15 minutes is allowed to land that fish.

All competitors must ensure their peg is litter free at the match end to qualify for weigh in. Peg area must be cleared of all obstructions prior to weighing to facilitate an efficient/safe weigh in and fish return process. The angler must be present at the weigh in of his/her own catch.

The weigh in will be carried out by the match organisers or persons appointed by the match organisers.

Netted fish will be removed from the water and returned to the water by the weigh in official.

The match organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to a match of any angler.

The weigh in official will be the sole judge of the scale weight reading.

Any competitor breaking any of these match rules or fishery rules may be disqualified from the match or series.

Any objections/complaints must be lodged with the match organisers before the end of the weigh in. In the event of any objections or complaints being lodged, the match organisers’ decision will be final.

In the case of a points tie situation the decision will then go to a weight decision.

These rules and the competition format may be subject to change at any time by the organisers.
