Fishing Dates & Times

From 12:00 AM Saturday, June 8^th until 5:00 PM Sunday June 9^th, 2019. In the event of severe weather, the rodeo may be rescheduled, shortened to 1 (one) day or cancelled. The Rodeo Chairman and Rodeo Committee will make the decision on any of the above. One fishing day constitutes a complete tournament.

Weigh-In Station

All official entry tickets must be purchased and filled out completely prior to weighing any fish. Weigh scales are located at the South Shoreline Park Pavilion. To be considered in a fish class, the angler must bring the fish they caught along with their completed official entry ticket to the weigh master. Scales open each day at 2:00 PM and close at 5:00 PM. At the 5:00 PM close of weigh-in each day only registered anglers in line who have been validated by the Sertoma Rodeo Committee will be allowed to weigh their catches. The weigh-in closing time (5:00 PM) will be determined by the official clock displayed at the weigh-in site. Each angler is responsible for weighing in his/her own catch.

Fishing Guidelines

All fish must be caught on rod & reel! No other devices are allowed. Mullet are the exception and may be caught in cast net. All fish must be in edible condition. Any mutilated fish will be rejected. Any fish appearing to have been frozen, gutted or chemically treated is rejected. Sertoma Rodeo Committee reserves the right to use the Torrymeter; a reading of less than eight (8) will result in disqualification of the fish and angler, forfeiture of all fees paid and qualification for prizes. Junior Anglers are those under age 14 at time of weigh-in.
