All tournaments begin at safe light on the first of the month and end at noon on the last day of the month. Fish as many days or nights as you desire. All entries must be emailed to: stuartrodandreelclub@gmail.com by midnight on the last day of the month to allow sufficient time to purchase and have embroidered the shirt. Pictures of entries with a measuring stick are required for all “largest” fish entries. Members should hold their own fish count until the last day they are fishing for that tournament. This means do not send multiple emails of every fish caught for the month. All fish must be FWC Legal minimum size, oversize fish count, but must be released unharmed. No tackle or bait restrictions unless noted.
