We hope to get more anglers to try fishing Lake Wilson. This is a kind of "Test Tournament" to see how it goes, see how you guys like it, and if you do, what we can do to make it better next time.
If you have questions, please... just ask. Members of the HFFA are checking this post and are ready to post answers to your questions.
Aloha,
Stan

Under the Fishing Rules, specifically #10. What is culling? I'm just guessing its the process of releasing a smaller fish caught earlier for a more recently caught larger fish. Can someone clarify please? Thanks.

[Stan Wright]

You are correct. If you catch a fish larger than one you already have in your live well... keep the larger fish and release the smaller one.
You weigh your 3 largest fish of the day.
Largemouth.
Peacock,
Smallmouth.

Are the the fish that count. And no, you don't have to catch one of each.
It can be all peacock or a combination of any of the 3 bass.

Its a small minnow trying to "lure" a big peacock onto the hook!!

I hope you guys on this board are gonna participate. Some take things too seriously and won't even come out. Its only a success if people come out and have fun with it.

Can I use my 11' canoe? Trying to figure a live well for it.

[Stan Wright]

Most of us use a cooler with one of those battery powered air thingies.

Stan,

Do we send in the registration form or do this the day of the tournament? Either way count me in!!!!

[Stan Wright]

Please send in the entry form to Lance. His address is on the bottom of the form...
I think we'll have entry forms at the HFFA Booth at the Fish & Seafood Festival this Sunday.
Please send it in as soon as possible so we can figure out the details of what we need to do.
If you can't make a copy from this I'll be glad to email you a copy of the form on a Word Document.
