Competition Fishing Rules
General Fishing Rules
| 1. | All Apapa Boat Club fishing competitions will be organized under the Apapa Boat Club General Fishing Rules. (These |
| rules.) | |
| 2. | A competition list shall be put on the notice board at least 10 days before the start of each competition, to allow participants |
| to enter their names. Only those people, whose names are on the sign-on list before the posted sign-on closing time, | |
| shall be accepted as participants. (This rule does not apply to Floating Trophies.) | |
| 3. | A competition notice shall be clearly marked “Open Competition” or “ABC Club Competition”. |
| a. An Open Competition is open to all participants who sign on, regardless of club affiliation or lack of club affiliation. | |
| b. A Club Competition is for all ABC members and their immediate family (spouse and children). All other participants are | |
| considered Guests and may be eligible for a Guest prize. | |
| 4. | All fish must be brought to the ABC weigh-in jetty by the boat making the catch. |
| 5. | All landed fish for competitions must be weighed-in at the ABC and entered in the Fishing Book. |
| 6. | Billfish. |
| a. Landed Billfish are not recognized in any Apapa Boat Club fishing competition. There is no penalty for landing a Billfish | |
| but no records are kept and we consider ourselves a Billfish Friendly Environment. | |
| b. Tag and release of Billfish shall only be accepted with correct digital evidence. This digital evidence must be witnessed, | |
| on the day of the catch, by a member of the Fishing Sub-Committee, who is not involved in the catch. If no member of the | |
| Fishing Sub-Committee is available then the digital evidence must be sent by E-mail to the Fishing Competition Secretary. | |
| c. Tagged and Released Billfish will score in competition as follows: | |
| Marlin tag & release 50 points, which equals 50kg. | |
| Sailfish tag & release 20 points, which equals 20kg. | |
| 7. | Competitors must have been seen to pass the end of the jetty before competition closing time to be included in the weigh in. |
| The only Time Piece accepted for this shall be the Club Clock in the Radio Tower. Inclusion after a late weigh-in, due to | |
| rendering assistance to another person or a breakdown is at the Fishing Sub-Committees’ discretion | |
| 8. | Only non-mutilated fish will be accepted. |
| 9. | All fish may be subject to being marked whilst being weighed and no similarly marked fish will be accepted. |
| 10. | Available members of the ABC Fishing Section sub-committee will resolve all protests, which must be submitted within half |
| an hour of the results being made public. Should a member of the sub-committee be involved in a protest, that member will | |
| stand down during the dispute and not participate in resolving it. | |
| 11. | Competitors must attend the prize giving on the final day of the competition to be eligible for prizes, Fisherman of the Year, |
| Junior Fisherman of the Year and Captain of the Year points. If a competitor cannot attend and informs the sub-committee | |
| or sends a message to the Fishing Sub-committee prior to the start of the prize giving, the Sub-committee then reserve the | |
| right to negate this rule if the circumstances warrant it. | |
| 12. | The IGFA rules will be applied. |
| 13. | The ABC General Rules must be posted next to each competition notice. |
| 14. | The onus is on the competitor to know the rules. |
