econfina tourny question

Post by bigshrek »

I have never fished in a trout tournament so Im just trying to clear a few things up. I know the rules say you weigh one persons legal limit of 5 trout one over 20 inches. if we have 4 people fishing in the boat can we keep 20 trout and weigh em them all and use the 5 best weights or do we have to just keep what we think are our 5 best trout weight wise and just release the others, and is it legal to have a scale on board? might be stupid questions but id rather ask them now then assume im doing something right and make a fool of myself out on the water.

You can keep up to 20 if you have 4 people on the boat (legal boat limit) but you can only weigh in 5 (1 person legal limit). Having a scale on board is a good idea for deciding which 5 to weigh, but remember that the tournament scales are the official weight. If a trout weighs 4# on your scale but 3.5# on the tournament scales, then that's a 3.5# trout. No arguments.
Look forward to seeing you there.

ok that makes sense reelcowboy thanks alot. Another quick question is that can you launch from a diff ramp then where the tournament is held. Can someone sign in at the econfina and launch out of the aucilla or the lighthouse.
