My club, Whit Rive Bass Maters will be hosting our annual Cabin Fever Tourament March 18th at Geist Lake. Info is below. Let me know if you have any questions.
Rules:
-No alcoholic beverages or illegal substances will be permitted before or during tournament hours.
-Entry fee for the tournament will be $60, which includes $10 toward the Big Bass Pot.
-Launch order will be a first come first serve basis. No pre-registration for this event.
- You will get your boat number once registered.
- Number of places will be based on number of boats – 30 or less – 3, 31-45 – 4, 46 or more - 5.
-- Anglers are required to stay in their boat for the entire duration of a tournament except in the case of an emergency.
- Tournament directors will always weigh-in last, and have another WRBM official weigh their catch.
- All boats must have a working “kill switch” for the combustion engine, aerated operating live wells with enough
capacity to fully sustain a limit of healthy bass. All participants must wear lifejackets and have a properly
functioning “kill switch” attached anytime the combustion engine is running.
- Horsepower of your boat may not exceed the maximum horsepower regulations set by the U.S. Coast Guard in their
ruling of November 1972. All other safety and boating regulations must be adhered to in all instances. Failure to comply
with these regulations could lead to disqualification.
- Only artificial baits may be used to catch bass, with the exception of pork rind. Fish must be caught in a sporting
manner. No trolling for fish allowed and only one (1) rod can be used at a time.
- If you are ticketed by the DNR and turned into the Tournament Director, you may be subject to disqualification.
- You must stay 50 yards away from a tied or anchored tournament angler.
- Limit shall be 5 bass (largemouth, small mouth or Kentucky spotted bass) with a minimum length of 14”.
-No fish will be weighed if the fish appears mangled, mashed or stringer kept. Short fish will not be weighed but there will
be a courtesy bump board available to be used by contestants before submitting their catch. There is a one (1) pound
penalty per short fish you submit to be weighed in.
-A penalty of one pound per minute will be assessed for being late at the end of the tournament. If you are more than ten
(10) minutes late, your catch will not be weighed in. You must be between the idle zone buoys and Olio rood to not be
considered late at the end of the tournament.
-Dead fish will be weighed in but a 1/2 pound penalty will be subtracted per dead fish.
.-Umbrella rigs are allowed. They must conform to Indiana state law stated in the 2017 Fishing Guide released by DNR.
