Day 1: ALL Smallmouth must be released in the middle of the main bay (outside no-wake zone) after weigh-in.
Due to limitations on space, some teams may be asked to trailer their boat after day 1 and give their smallmouth to designated "Release Boats" to return their smallmouth to the water. If you do not have a limit of smallmouth, please consider trailering your boat and having another team or release boat return your fish to the water.
Day 2: Please trailer your boat prior to weigh-in if possible.
The no-wake zone on the east side of the chute begins/ends at a diagonal line between the “lighthouse” and the eastern-most end of the south pier. No passing inside any no-wake zones.

Please use ONLY WPTBS weigh-bags for weigh-in.
