District 2 – Williamsport, 4/8/18

Tournament has been rescheduled for Sunday October 7th.  A new post will be added when it gets closer to the date.  Thank you.

The tournament is cancelled due to safety concerns. The river is over 7 feet with debris floating in it. The docks are in and partially submerged and there is a tree stuck under the dock on the ramp side making it difficult to get the boats launched. With the forecast morning temperature of 26, the ramp will become a sheet of ice quickly. This tournament will be rescheduled for the summer. Sorry, but it is not worth someone getting hurt or equipment getting damaged. Thanks for understanding.
Brett

Location – Williamsport, PA
Launch Site – Antlers (Linden Access)
Dates – Sunday, April 8th
Time – 7:00 am – 3:00 pm, (if we can launch earlier we will try)
Registration – 6:00 am to 6:45 am

Do not launch your boat until you have checked in, completed the boat check and met up with your co-angler.
This will be a 3 fish tournament, 15″ minimum.
No culling of dead fish. Dead fish MUST be taken with you.
Lunker Fee is $10 and Lunker must be a live fish.
All PA Boating and Fishing rules and regulation must be adhered to at all times.
All PA Bass tournament rules apply.
Angler must fish from the front deck and the Co-Angler must fish from the rear deck only.
It is suggested that the cost of the gas/oil used during the day be shared between the boater and the rider.

This will be a trailered weigh in. When you weigh-in, come up to the table, turn in your numbers, get and sign your weigh-in slips (keep them), then get in line for a bag (CANNOT use your own). Get your fish from your boat; have bag dinked; weighed. Give me your slip, verify weight and get your yellow copy. Return fish to water and return bags to table where you got them.

Last boat will call out numbers and each boat will launch every 10 seconds.
The tournament committee (District Officers present) will make the decision to hold a fog delay if necessary for safety. If so, the committee will make decisions regarding take off time, extending fishing hours, etc.

SAFETY – Life jackets MUST be worn when the outboard motor is running. This includes coming in to beach the boat, taking the boat on and off the trailer. If you are on the boat, the outboard is running, life jacket MUST be on for all aboard. Failure to do so can result in disqualification in the tournament.

Care should be taken in the morning to try to avoid ramp freezing. Please allow trailers to drain before pulling up the ramp.
