2005 Fishing Tournament Registration

8th Annual
Hui Wa'a Kaukahi
K-Bay Bash
Kayak Fishing Tournament

Rules
Honor system - competitors are trusted not to fish before official start time, or to use disallowed means of fishing.

1) The public as well as Hui Wa'a Kaukahi members may compete.

2) Entry fee is $15 per Club member, $25 for non-members, paid in advance, or $20 and $30 on Saturday or Sunday, payable at the Flag or finish area. Registration coupon can be mailed or faxed (see below), and once registration is received, payment can be brought to the finish area on Saturday without penalty.

3) Tournament fishing hours are 6:00 am to 1:00 pm. Kayaks may start from anywhere within the Park (for example, the Kam Hwy Beach next to the Gate.) but must be back at the finish area in Campround 'A' by 1:00 pm each day for their catch to qualify. (The finish area will be flying a large yellow Club flag ) Catches will be weighed at that time, and prizes will be awarded on Sunday at that time, followed by a party with pupus and a (mostly) BYO bar.

4) All fishing must be done from a kayak, with a line. To count, fisherman must be in the kayak when fish is hooked.

5) There are no geographical limits to the fishing area, except the Coconut Island Marine Exclusion Area, and of course, the MCBH security zone (500 yards clearance around Mokapu Base). Here is a map of that area. All kayaks must start from Kualoa Park! Since the park gate opens at 7:30 AM, you may want to park on the road and launch from the north beach. (There will be someone there to take your name, etc.)

6) There will be a Grand Prize for

Biggest Papio - see note below

and Second Grand Prize for:

Biggest Other Fish

and additional prizes for 2nd biggest fish, the most unusual fish, whatevers.
There will be no prizes awarded for most number of fish, or for most total weight, so throw the losers back, okay? All fish must meet State size minimums as set forth by DLNR.

*For the purposes of this contest - a "Papio" is defined as a fish of any of the trevally species (ulua, kagami, 'omilu, Giant Trevally GT, etc.) that is 10 pounds or less. - i.e. if it is 10.1 pounds, it is an ulua and will count towards the Biggest Fish prizes.

The purpose of this tournament is to promote the sport of kayak fishing among like-minded ocean-users, to raise the public's awareness of this sport, and to have fun.
