Scoring:
Fish are scored to the individual who catches them. Judges will be patrolling the beach during fishing hours to measure and record catches. Any disputes will be resolved by the judges. Total points determine winner(s). All points will be computed on length of fish measured from tip of snout to tip of tail. After fish are measured, a section of the tail will be cut off, and the fish will no longer be eligible. Ties on total points will be broken first by most fish. If tie continues, points of largest fish will be totaled. If tie is still not broken, prize money will be divided. Largest fish, if tie, prize money will be divided.

Scoring Method:
One (1 ) point per inch (No partial points). All fish must meet minimum length requirement. One (1) extra point for a released fish
