We have a Spearfishing category for Cray fish, no other fish taken by spear fishing or any other means may be entered.

One fish can win one prize only. (Exception is Special Prize – Outstanding Catch of the Comp)

A Junior (U13) may enter a fish for a senior prize but that same fish is not then eligible to win the junior prize.

Only one fish per species per contestant can be entered the Mystery categories,

Mystery Winners will be determined by special draws from the Barrel of contestants that have weighed in that species.

Where a category contains multiple species, the winning fish is the heaviest fish from the combined species.
