FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q

Can I put my boat in the water anywhere along as it falls within the boundaries of the Jacksonville Fishing Rodeo?

Yes

Q

What’s to stop someone from catching a fish two or three days prior to the event?

That’s why we have tory meters to check for freshness and why we have a biologist on hand to check any suspect fish. Our weigh master has been doing this for over thirty years. He is a pro. They just caught a person who put lead into a largemouth bass then tried to weigh it. He was caught and now is in jail on fraud charges.

Q

Can anyone who weighs an eligible fish in the tournament win the Contender boat, Yamaha motor, and Loadmaster trailer?

Yes! When you weigh your fish you will have a portion of your Rodeo Ticket you purchased torn off and deposited in a big drum. On Saturday night after all awards are given out, one lucky fisher person will have their ticket pulled from the drum and will be declared the winner. You do not have to be present to win but you must make sure your phone number is correct on the tournament form so we can contact you. The boat will be removed from the tournament site on Saturday night and will be available to the tournament random drawing winner on Monday, July 5th at the offices of the Southern Kingfish Association, 15 Garnett Avenue, St Augustine, Florida. 904-819-0360. If the winner is present. he or she can take their prize boat home with them. Remember however, you should have insurance on the boat before you take it home. If you take the boat, the MSO will be signed over to you and at that point the boat is yours. At the end of the calendar year 2010 you will receive a 1099 IRS form for tax purposes.

Q Q

Q Q Q Q

16

Can I pick up my boat and transport it to another launch site?

Yes. However, remember that if you’re transporting live fish and they die you will receive the 6 oz. penalty.

A

Why does everyone on the boat have to have a Rodeo Ticket?

In fairness to the rodeo and the spirit of competition, it wouldn’t be fair to put two or three or more people fishing on a boat with the idea of one person weighing the team’s catch. This is an angler tournament. Remember you can win more than one category. Some anglers or all winning anglers will be polygraphed if deemed necessary.

A

A

Can I fish at night?

You start fishing at 6AM on Friday and can fish up until the time to run to the scales. But remember, there is a daily prize in each category for the big fish in each specie each day. Plus each category has a different time to weigh in on Saturday to avoid long lines at the weigh station.

A

Can I win more than category?

Absolutely! In the non-jackpot categories, you can win or place in as many species as are listed.

However, an entrant may only win one prize in any single category.

A

If I fish in Georgia do I need a Florida fishing license?

Because you are weighing a fish in the State of Florida you must have a Florida Fishing License.

We will not be checking licenses but there may be members of the Florida Fresh and Saltwater law enforcement agency on hand.
