Contestants may proceed to their chosen position on the beach after they have purchased and registered their tickets and can not commence fishing until advertised times (however the hours and times fished are optional to contestants). A contestant commencing fishing outside these times shall be disqualified. Contestants may place one rod holder only to mark their fishing spot. Any contestant who places more than one rod holder to mark their spot will be in breach of the rules. Fishing must be carried out within the designated marked areas only.
NOTE: Contestants with fish to be weighed must be at the Head Quarters (H.Q.) Weigh-In cordoned area prior to the Prize Giving Start Times. Take note of the approximate "Travel Time" from fishing areas back to Head Quarters Weigh-In.
