AINGLER SIGN UP
It is free thanks to the relationship with FCA
Please add one of the following letters to your name which identifies the division you are in. ( E = grades 1-4, M = grades 5-8, H = grades 9-12 )
When you look at scoring you are only competing against the others in your respective division.
CALCULATING THE CATCH
We will use the FREE Aingler ap for this event
Top 3 in each division based on the Best 10 fish over 3 months so this is NOT a one day event
Good news is that you can fish one day and actually have a shot at placing in the Top 3 in your division. You can go back again and again to improve your numbers.
-Everyone on the boat must be registered for the 25-26 season to participate and once you register for SALTT, you are good for the season and good for all events. Nothing else to do but RSVP the Sunday before an event with the director.
GUIDELINES
-Only the fish caught by the student anglers ON A BOAT can be submitted.
-Adults can fish but only submit fish caught by the student anglers.
-It is an individual tourney so members are competing against each other.
-The day before, you will be given a code word which will be a Bible verse for your index card. Boat captains are encouraged to discuss the Bible verse with the student anglers, but it is not mandatory.
HOW YOU SCORE
-Bass = Top 10 fish with the minimum of 14 inches
-Reds = Top 10 redfish with the minimum of 15 inches and max of 23 inches but you can have one up to 30 inches
-pinch the tail all the way down in the pictures so you get the maximum length
-release every fish you catch after you submit the picture on bump board and with angler
-in case of a tie, the Big Fish will be the tiebreaker with the second tiebreaker the number of fish submitted
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS

-an index card with that day's code must be placed on above/below the fish

-fish must be laying straight (this makes it longer anyway)
-tail can be pinched to make it longer
