District 2 – Sunbury, State Park, 8/12/18

Location – Lake Augusta, Sunbury, PA
Launch Site – State Park
Date – Sunday, August 12th
Time – 6:00 am (or safe light) – 2:00 pm
Registration – 5:00 am to 5:45 am

Note: Registration will be at the Red trailer at the Launch. You must park the trucks and trailers in the overflow lot. Vehicles that are parked at the ramp will be ticketed. Weigh in will be at the launch ramp, not at the Marina building.

We will blast off from the no wake area near the launch.

Note: Weigh in will be at the ramp. The trailer will be set up in the parking lot. You can trailer or tie up at dock if there is room, then 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.

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 5 fish tournament, 12″ minimum.
No culling of dead fish. Dead fish MUST be taken with you.
Lunker Fee is $10. 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.

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.

**Any culling system utilized must reduce fish handling stress and injury (e.g., clips and color coding). Devices that use or require punching / piercing a hole in the fish’s mouth are NOT permitted. Fish should not be lifted from a livewell by culling tubes, ropes, etc., in an attempt to reduce stress.

Just got notice that they are moving the causeway at the new bridge, please be aware if you were planning on fishing the West Branch. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2018/08/boaters_alerted_causeway_flip.html
