Battle of the Bays is coming..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This sounds like it could be a fun tournament.

Question - does the $60 registration allow fishing both tournaments? or is it 60 for each. Flyer wasn't clear on this.

Also, in reading the rules - Big fish side tournament does not include those fish targeted in the regular tournament (and sharks and rays), so that leaves pretty much halibut as a realistic winner (highly doubt barracuda or WSB will be caught). Am I correct on this?

Also no communications of any kind unless I'm calling for rescue - better have the phone in airplane mode, cause if the wife calls it's a disqualification!

The registration is $60 for each event....
These are fundraising tournaments and we need to recoup our cash outlay for the 1st thru 4th place plaques, the food and cleaning supplies purchased, the t-shirt printing and purchase, the flyer and advertising costs, the markers and velcro straps for the CPR, and the iAngler service @ $3/ per angler.

The biggest fish side pot includes all legal DFW fish except Sharks, Rays, and Bass...unless you have a crystal ball on species...it will be the biggest fish caught...it will probably be a Halibut but if no Butts are caught...then the biggest fish could be any other species including Rockfish or Sheephead.

The communication part of the rules is just to keep some cheating down...we won't have "phone cops" out on the water disqualifying anglers just for using the phone for a call to the wife...Most of the rules were cut and pasted from a few Hobie World Tournaments so some may seem a little overkill.

The Battle of the Bays Tournament award plaques came in during the Fred Hall Show last week.
They look great, nice work Charles / Tattuna!
Thank you for all your art work and volunteer time!

And thanks to Dell Awards for some nice engraving.
