Good job Rick, to you and the rest of the committee. Reading the rules brought about a few questions: 1) Is the maximum amount of fish onboard (Coolered) 10? Or, are you saying the team can fish to a NYS limit and then sort for their desired 10?  2) I see that there is a max of 5 Salmon, can a 10 fish catch constitute 10 trout with a max of 3 Lakers, or is the total trout number limited to 5 as well?

3) Are you allowing teams with livewells to hold fish aboard alive yet release them if a bigger one is caught, or do they have to make that decision immediately at the point of boating said fish? 4) In one place you are asking teams to drain water from coolers  prior to weigh in, and in another place it states that only block or bagged ice are allowed, which is it?     Thx!

Hi Rich,

Thanks to the committee for putting an event together, they take time and effort....

Gimmie a day and we'll have answers to you guys.

[Yankee Troller]

To answer Vince's questions:

 

1) Is the maximum amount of fish onboard (Coolered) 10? Or, are you saying the team can fish to a NYS limit and then sort for their desired 10? Teams can fish to their legal limit.

 

2) I see that there is a max of 5 Salmon, can a 10 fish catch constitute 10 trout with a max of 3 Lakers, or is the total trout number limited to 5 as well? 5 salmon/5 Trout with only 3 of those trout allowed to be Lakers.

 

 

3) Are you allowing teams with livewells to hold fish aboard alive yet release them if a bigger one is caught, or do they have to make that decision immediately at the point of boating said fish? Livewells are not allowed to hold fish "alive." The decision needs to be made to keep or release a fish at the time of the catch.

 

4) In one place you are asking teams to drain water from coolers  prior to weigh in, and in another place it states that only block or bagged ice are allowed, which is it? Only ice is allowed in coolers, and all standing water from ice melting must be drained from the cooler prior to check in.

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

Thank you for the clarification. Very interesting format.

Tournament rule #10 Says

 

10 - SCORING:

A "limit catch" in this tournament is 10 fish. Of the 10 only 5 may be salmon. The other 5 must be trout but may not include more than THREE lake trout.

 

So is their legal limit of fish the NYS legal limit or limit of ten as stated in the  tornament rules?

Legal Limit depends on how many guys you have on-board. If you fish with 5 guys like we do then your allowed 15 silvers and 10 LT.

 

Does that clarify it?

[Finders Keepers]

Hey Rick - When is the deadline to register for the OOO? Thanks!

[Yankee Troller]

I'm hoping to have the Registration form up by the end of the day bud. Just waiting on the committee to sign off on it. 

 

Taken from the form:

 

Deadline to enter the tournament will be May 23rd if paying by check, and June 2nd if paying by cash. Entry into the event will be $400.

[Finders Keepers]

Sounds good! Thanks Rick!

It's June 2nd Brian. We needed time to get the monies in the bank account. It would be too hard to do it on Saturday when we are all fishing if guys paid at the Captains Meeting. We'd hope everyone would have their monies in by the check deadline, but figured if someone hit it big the two weekends prior they might want to get into the OOO.
