NO YELLOWFIN TUNA IN SIGHT !!!

Only 3 boats have fished both days- Reel X-Stream, Black Dog & Job Site- Saturday looks like it may offer a weather window- see you on the water.

RULE UPDATES:

• Northern boundary 76.55.00- inadvertently printed differently in program
• You have until 8am to declare your day
• NEW PRIZES- Don Leaonard memorial billfish award, 23 and under division added
• Weigh-in open until 8:30pm

2008-  FORMAT- fish 2 out of 8 possible days. Capt. Meeting- Friday, May 9th at 7pm Fishing Days- Saturday, May 10th thru Saturday, May 17th- pick 2 out of the 8 possible days. You must declare by 8am the morning before you fish in order for the day to count for the tournament- Call tournament hot line at (910) 253-3474 and leave message.  Saturday, May 17th-8pm- Awards ceremony The concept of this format is to offer more possible days to fish and thus increase the chances of being able to fish under good weather conditions. Also, with the earlier dates, there should be more Carolina Slams caught and better overall fishing.

**** Rule Clarification****  You can fish 2 days total, thus you may drop a previous day's biggest fish with your 2nd day's fish-- still only 1 fish per species, but the largest of each species you catch out of the 2 days.  Also, a boat may participate under only one entry and a Captain may only be registered as a Captain once.  However, any fisherman, whether Captain or crew may fish on more than one boat as many days of competition as he/she chooses.

** Boundary clarification**  You must fish between longitued 78.40.00 (G.town hole area) and 76.55.00 (Nipple area)

This is the First Annual OIFC Year Round Fishing Rodeo Tournament. 

• Registration:  now open to any angler wishing to compete and will remain open until December 5th, 2008.   
• How to Register:  Registration is available online, by phone, or in person at the OIFC- print off an entry form from this site.
• Entry Fee:  This is a per angler competition.  Any individual wishing to participate must have purchased a Rodeo ticket for the species BEFORE having caught the fish they are weighing.  Tickets are $20 per species. 
• Fishing Times:  Fishing may begin at 12:01am on March 15th, 2008 and ends on December 5th, 2008 by OIFC store close.
• Weigh In:  Anlgers MUST weigh their catch the same day it is caught at the OIFC during normal business hours ONLY, which are posted weekly on the front door.
• Requirement:  This competition is between anglers not boats.  In order to be eligible for prizes, the angler of the fish to be weighed must be a ticket holder for that species.  The angler must fight the fish the majority of the fight and land the fish.  You may not hand the rod to a ticket holder immediately prior to boating the fish.  The spirit of the rule is to receive prizes for catching the fish, not holding the rod when it is boated.
• Boundaries:  If fishing from a boat, you must leave from a North or South Carolina.  If fishing on foot, you must be in North or South Carolina.
• Awards:  A closing ceremony and awards presentation will occur at the annual "bluefin blitz" on December 6th, 2008.

• Payout:  Each species will have it's own pot and prizes will be paid out accordingly- 1st-50%, 2nd-30%, 3rd-20%.  Pot sizes will updated periodically on this website and on the leaderboard at the OIFC.

 What Makes the Jolly Mon Unique?

• 1. It is a one day tournament, with an optional weather day...
     This one day approach is a big reason the tournament has been successful. It attracts the family fishermen who believe they have a better shot at winning- or better yet the fishermen who appreciates a good day fishing, not an entire weekend of hard work!  
  2. There is no checkout... BUT, there are boundaries..
     Fishermen can fish out of any port they choose within boundaries so as long as their lines are not in the water before 7:00am and they are in weight-in line by 5:00pm.  This means easy fishing while always keeping on an even playing field.  
  3. It is family oriented...
     The Jolly Mon recognizes the importance of the family and fishing and offers a complimentary  dinner for everyone and medallions for all Junior anglers participating in the event. The Jolly Mon is run in an orderly, clean-cut manner.
