Rules for hourly pool (7/6/08 rev.)*:

1). All ticket and pool rules apply, some are repeated or expanded below. Contest runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

2). No more than ~8’ of bank space total taken with all poles. All poles must be together.

3). You may use a vehicle to transport the fish (about 10 m.p.h. speed limit). You can have assistance carrying but the angler must be with the fish. No speeding! You will be instantly disqualified from the ENTIRE CONTEST AND YOUR TICKET REVOKED.

4). Any fish you have on at the opening 8:00 a.m. announcement does not count towards this pool (but does for any other contests). After 8:00 a.m., any fish on counts so long as it is not held intentionally. (We suggest you be as quick as possible, we might disqualify you if we believe you are holding the fish.). The time the fish enters the baitshop door is the qualified time.

5). You must throw reasonably-straight out, corner fishing requires shorter throws (as does cove-point-shack). No throwing past the middle of the lake (use common sense: Courtesy is required.). Make room for fellow anglers if they are fighting a fish.

6). If paying by credit card, a $3 cash-advance fee will be added.

7). Protests must be made at time of a weigh-in. We will do our best to announce by PA every leading fish that is weighed in. Winners will be paid when management is satisfied they are legitimate. Checks can be mailed on request. If a disqualification, the next highest weight(s) for that hour will be the winner. If no winners for that hour, then the payout is higher for future hours, as described. If only one fish is weighed in on an hour, winner gets 100% of that’ hour’s pot. If no winner the last hour, the first fish in THAT WEIGHES 5.0 POUNDS OR HIGHER after 4:00 p.m. wins the last hour 100% (no second place if it is after 4:00 p.m.).
