Rules:
- The fish must be measured with nose to 0 against the measuring board
- All teams get a measuring board with team number on it and this number must be included in the picture so it is clearly visible.
- The length of the fish must be clearly visible, no blurred images or ambiguities.
- Millimeters are not counted.
- Jammed fins are allowed.
- The whole fish must be visible in the picture.
- All fish are counted, so there is no minimum size.
- Allowed angling methods are spinning, vertical fishing and fly fishing.
- Trolling, mete, etc. are NOT allowed.
- Live bait is NOT allowed.
- Reporting of fish must be reported no later than 30 minutes after the catch.
- As it is the longest fish of each species that counts, you only need to send in your first fish and then fill up with the longer fish.
- All teams must be back in the strait outside the store no later than 17.00 otherwise the team will be disqualified. Fish reported after the deadline will not be counted.
- Should several teams fish the same, it is the longest perch that weighs heaviest in the results list.
- The competition is run via skitfiske.app. In the app, live reporting will be visible, all fish, all teams, etc. It is also where all fish should be photographed and reported.
Time and place:
Sunday, April 12 at 07:30
All teams gather in their boats in the strait outside the store for a captain's meeting at 07.30, the start goes at 08.00. Registration and collection of the measuring board takes place in the shop and when you are ready you go out into the sound again to make room for other boats. As it is 5 knots inside the sound, all boats go out after the captain's meeting outside the 5 knot rule and stay there until the lead boat fires the starting gun. All boats must be back on the dock by 17.00. Teams that have not handed in their measuring board before 17.00 will be disqualified. If you break off before the end of the race, this must be reported to the management. We in the shop will stand on the bridge with microphone and speakers so that everyone can hear. Respect each other and give way as far as possible.
All boats with a life jacket must have removed the life jacket and left it at home. In the unlikely event that it is not possible to remove the sensor, cables will be disconnected and sealed before the race.
But for everyone's sake, make sure to remove the sensor from the boat. We will have an inspector down at the dock.
Prize giving will take place at 17.30.

If your team for some reason needs to drop out, this must be notified no later than Monday, April 6th. If this happens after the deadline, the registration fee will not be refunded. This is so that we can give reserve teams a chance to plan for a few days and since the prize table is based largely on the entry fees.
