    Note to Captains: Judge your travel time well. Remember 8 knots in the outer channel, 5 knots and "No Wake" inside the harbor. You need time to tie up and transport your fish up the dock. Judges exceptions may or may not be made by the Rules Committee. Even for extenuating conditions.

    25% Bonus for Live Released fish. PLEASE keep fish alive with lots of fresh sea water.

    We encourage use of IGFA recognized & approved fishing techniques with one exception, we allow the use of a treble hook for the trap hook on the halibut rig. The trap hook must be embedded into the tail of the bait. We strongly suggest that anglers use circle hooks as much as possible to reduce damage to fish being released
