Category Points
Sharpnose Sharks: 10 points each
Black Nose Sharks (Browns): 20 Points each
Black Tip Sharks/Spinners: 30 Points Each
Finetooth Sharks: 30 points each

Bull Sharks: 30 points each
Tiger or Sand Tiger: 100 points each
The team with the most points at 4:00 PM is the winner.
You will be given a log sheet to record your catches. It is VERY important to record the time immediately upon touching the leader of your fish in case there is a tie. This will be the only log sheet you have, so please put the sheet in a safe, dry place. Any other form of recording your catches will not be accepted. No times or species may be changed on the record sheet, so BE CAREFUL when recording your catch.
Although this is an honor system type tournament, the most important part of this tournament is the time of leader touch and species to be recorded immediately upon each catch. Please do your best to be sure your team has recorded the information quickly and accurately for the record and final review for the winners.
NOTE: In the event you are un-sure of what type of shark you have landed, you can phone me for that answer. To prevent un-needed mix ups about species, PLEASE STUDY THE BELOW USING GOOGLE IMAGES SO YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE LANDED. They are all VERY distinguished and different and very easy to identify.
Winners will be announced at Hickory Bluff Marina and paid out during the cookout. No time has been decided on when we will make this announcement, but it will be ASAP for sure...
