Fish Registration Rules

It will be expected that every boat entering the harbor will have the 5 biggest fish picked out and ready to be presented to a tournament official.

There will be 3 tournament officials waiting to tag your 5 biggest fish. Locations will be Sheboygan Marina, River docks in front of anglers avenue, The docks in front of The-Wharf.

You must have your 5 fish tagged at one of these locations before proceeding to the weigh in location!!! This is to prevent boats from attempting to swap fish into coolers before reaching the scales.

Amateur and Professional Division will have there own scale location at Deland Park. (Must register the 5 fish that have been tagged by a tournament official)
