RULES
Angler of the Year is awarded to the "Angler" that accumulates the most points at the end of the club year. (Oct. 1,2024 - Sept. 30,2025)
All fish must be caught according to I.G.F.A. Rules & FWC Recreational Regulations.
All fish must be caught within a 100 mile straight line distance from the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. North to the St John’s river, South to Wabasso beach park.
All fish must be weighed by the Weigh Master, by a personal scale provided that the scale has been certified by the Weigh Master, the State, IGFA or weighed at a Club Certified Weigh Station.
All Submissions must use an Official H.S.F.C. Weigh Slip (including all "released" fish, weigh slips of other recognized tournaments are accepted).
Anglers must provide a Clear & Identifiable picture of each fish caught. Multiple fish can be in 1 photo, but (1) weigh slip for each fish is required. No multiple fish on slip.
All weigh slips must be submitted within 7 days of the catch (date on picture) Please make sure the “date stamp” is turned on in camera settings.
Maximum of 10 weigh slips for each species per Club year will be used to calculate points.
Any fish to be considered for a "new club record" must be witnessed by a board member. Points for new club record will be awarded at end of tournament year.
All Marlin, Sailfish, Tarpon and Shark will be scored on a release basis. For the club record purposes, the total number of all weigh slips for each species caught in a single day will be used. (You may exceed the 10 weigh slip restriction for club record but you will only receive points for first 10 slips.
All Redfish, Red Snapper and Snook must be within "slot" for species (FWC Recreational Regulations).
An electronic weigh slip may be submitted on the club website (HSFC.com) located on the weigh master tab link.
