Rules at a glance

The essentials for choosing a division. Anything not finalized shows as pending — we don't guess and you shouldn't either.

Primary division vs. Side Pot: Every angler enters one primary division. The Big Fish Side Pot is an optional add-on that runs alongside — you keep your primary standing and compete for the single longest verified fish.
Bait vs. Artificial requirements: The Bait Division is natural or legal prepared bait only. The Artificial Lure Division is artificial lures only. Open Shore, Junior, Family Team, Women's, and the Side Pot allow either.
Junior guardian requirements: Organizer confirmation pending
Family Team registration: Organizer confirmation pending
Can I enter more than one primary division?: Organizer confirmation pending
Does the Side Pot require a separate registration?: No. The Side Pot is a check-box add-on during registration for anglers already entered in a primary division.
