• Fishing is permitted from Bulls Bay to Edisto Beach.
• Teams may fish a maximum of one day during the time period May 6 – June 6, 2025.
• Each team must use the app Timestamp Camera to document their catches. The app is available in Google Play and the App Store.
• Anglers must boat their fish, taking care to not harm the fish, and take a photo of the fish. The photo must be date and time stamped with Timestamp Camera.
• Registration must be completed by 5 pm, June 5, 2025.
• Teams must register before fishing. Any fish time stamped before your registration is complete is disqualified.
• Teams will record their one day catch on our submission form. The form must be successfully submitted by 11:55 pm, on June 6, 2025.
• First, second, and third place teams must provide time stamped photos of their catches in order to claim their prize. The Tournament Committee will email your team captain and ask you to email photos of each fish caught.
• In the case of a tie, the team that caught their final fish first is declared the winner. For example, if two teams each caught 12 fish, the team that caught their 12th fish first, as verified by the timestamp on the photo of their fish, is the winner.
• All anglers must comply with all federal and state laws and regulations concerning inshore fishing. Anglers may keep any legally permitted take.
• Entry fee: $100/team

Angling Methods

• Rod and reel only (any tackle is permitted)
• Any bait may be used.
• Assisting the angler is permitted for younger anglers.

Tournament Committee

The Tournament Committee will examine all results and determine the winners of the competition. All anglers are on their honor to comply with the rules of the tournament but any found to be cheating are subject to disqualification by the Tournament Committee.
