Tournament FAQs
How do investments work?
Our tournament program is simple. Each person pays "expenses" which are your trip cost plus tip. Monies over the "expenses" go towards tournament entries. The more you invest the more potential winnings you are entitled to. A second option is for the party to split the cost 6 even ways that way everyone has an equal share. Reach out to Capt. Austin for more info. 443 - 392-4926
What are the rules?
Each tournament has its own set of rules, most of them adopt IGFA rules. Please go to this link to review https://igfa.org/international-angling-rules/ you will be fully informed of all rules before we leave the dock, you will sign paper work stating you are aware of all rules.
What days will we fish?
Tournaments follow a fish 1/2, 2/3 or 3/5 format. These dates are picked on many factors and will be chosen by Captain. Must be available for every possible fishing day of a event.
Who gets to reel in the fish?
Each person on our team knows their job and expectations before we leave the dock. Primary Angler, Secondary Angler and auxiliary anglers are appointed based on many factors such as experience and physical ability. Tournament fishing is very fun but we remain highly competitive while doing so. Each member of the team is just as important as the primary angler.
What should I bring?
Anglers should bring that they want to eat and drink for the trip we have a large cooler on the boat for you to use .Bring sunglasses, plenty of water, sunscreen (no spray), closed toed shoes, No hard liquor. And a winning attitude.
What will we target? Tactics?
Target species will depend on time of season and many other factors. That decision is made by Captain and crew.
Who do I pay?
Payments are made to "Primary Search LLC". All payments are due in full14 days prior to event sign up.
Should we win ,how do payouts work?
Payout structure is as follows.
Boat gets 33% of Gross

You will sign legally binding paperwork before the start of the event so you are fully aware of how payouts work.
