PAPERWORK:
It is the sole
responsibility of the entrant to insure that all
entry and weigh in paperwork is filled out
completely and submitted
properly to the
Captree Bait & Tackle Shop or Captree Boatmen’s Assn
office. Shall it be deemed by committee that
paperwork was submitted improperly or incompletely,
the fish is disqualified from the derby. Should it
be deemed that 2011 Captree Fleet Fluke Derby
paperwork had been submitted fraudulently, the
entrant and fish is disqualified from the entire
derby, and the entry fee is forfeited.
8: FISHING EQUIPMENT:
Although
entrants may bring multiple rods onboard with them;
only one rod may be fished at a time. Entrants
fishing more than one rod at a time will (along with
their fish) be disqualified for the entire voyage in
question. Should such a case occur, the angler’s
entry fee is not forfeit and if applicable is still
valid for subsequent voyages.
9: WEIGH IN OF FISH:
The only
official weigh in station is the Captree Bait &
Tackle Shop. Along with proper identification,
an entrant must weigh in his/ her fish in person
within a reasonable time of the vessel docking. . An
entrant who weighs in a fish must be accompanied by
a representative of the vessel (owner, captain or
mate) at the time of weigh in. The vessel
representative must have been onboard the vessel at
the time the fish was caught, and verify by
signature that the presented fish was caught by the
entrant. Failure to meet these requirements is an
automatic disqualification.
After the weighing of a fish, the stomach content of
said fish may be extruded for inspection for
determination of fraud. Should evidence exist that
there may have been tampering with the stomach
content for the purpose of enhancing the weight of
the fish, the fish and entrant shall be disqualified
from the derby and all fees and prizes are forfeit.
The final determination will be ruled upon by a
three (3) person panel consisting of Captree
Boatmen’s Assn member owners. All rulings are final
and non disputable. To avoid conflicts of interest,
the three (3) person panel (selected by the owners)
shall consist of owners from vessels other than the
vessel the entrant sailed when the dispute occurred.
10: FISH & PRIZE
ELIGIBILITY:
An entrant may submit
one fish per trip of eligibility. Should the entrant
sail more than 1 trip in an eligible day, he/ she
may submit one fish for each trip sailed.
11: DAILY DOCK POOL/
BOAT POOL ELIGIBILITY:
Any fish submitted by
an eligible entrant for the derby, would also
qualify for the “Daily Dock Pool” should both
contests have been entered properly and both entry
fees paid. It is the sole responsibility of the
entrant to check with the vessel’s captain, prior to
entering, to determine if the fish is also eligible
for the “boat pool”.
