So how did everyone do? I was out last night but wasn't ready for the tourney. I just bought a boat on last Friday and wanted to familiarize myself with the area. I will join this soon so would like to keep updated? What are the usual rules?

Congrats on the boat cody! Hope to see you out here in the next few weeks! here are the general rules and guidelines for the Thursday night tournament on Arlington:
2014 Rules

Official start time for all is 6:00 pm and be inside the buoys by 9:30 pm.

Tournament director will weigh up to 3 bass, 14" min with a 0.5 pound (8 oz.) penalty for dead fish. Total combined weight of 3 fish will be recorded and be used for tournament placement. One place will be paid for Big Bass until 15 paid entries, at which point 2 places will be paid for Big Bass.

Contestants may fish anywhere on tournament waters available to the public and accessible by boat, except areas posted or otherwise designated as �off-limits,� �no boats,� �keep out,� �restricted,� �no trespassing� or �no fishing� (or similar language or markings intended to restrict public access) by local, state or federal officials, or within 25 yards of a contestant�s boat.

All anglers must fish from a boat and in waters accessible by boat only (you are not permitted to leave the boat for fishing purposes).

Only artificial lures may be used for fishing and only 1 rod at a time per fisherman may be used.

Any sight fishing or bed fishing will require the fish be hooked in the mouth.

All live fish will be released back in the lake immediately after weigh-in.

All anglers will wear a fastened U.S. Coast Guard approved floatation device while combustion engine is in gear during tournament hours.

At the discretion of the tournament director, tournament days may be shortened, postponed, changed, or canceled due to unsafe conditions. If you have questions concerning this rule please contact the tournament director on the day of the tournament.

Ties will be decided by the biggest bass weighed by each team involved in tie.

Any angler who has been banned, "black listed" or deemed ineligible to compete in another tournament due to a violation will not be permitted to fish without written consent from the tournament directors who found the participant to be in violation.

All protests must be presented to the tournament director in writing within 5 minutes of the final fish being weighed with at least one witness.

Any angler found to be in violation of the rules will be disqualified from the event.

Tournament Director has final say in all matters.

Tournament Director is not liable for any accidents or incidents that occur during contest hours. Abide by all state and local laws and fish at your own risk.


**Edited: End time is 9:30 P.M. now that the days are longer.
