THE TIME HAS ARRIVED! START PREPPING!
THE MINNOW MASTERS TOURNAMENT hosted by yours truly, ALLEN’S DOCK. We’ve upgraded your arsenal this year, no more CHILD’S PLAY! DETAILS BELOW:
THE MINNOW MASTERS
Date: Sunday, September 6th, 2026. RAIN OR SHINE.
Time: Lines in the water 06:00 (Shop will open 05:00). Final weigh in 13:30. (Military time. Look it up. Don’t be late!)
Buy-in: $30 gets you 2 MINI RODS & $10 to the POT. Additional mini-rods may be purchased at $10/per.
Rules: LARGEST FISH TAKES IT. Fish must be landed on the mini-rod. No alterations to the rod can be made, except for tying on 3’ of any leader you choose to the main line and lure/hook choice. AND YES, WE WILL BE ACCEPTING PHOTOGRAPHY OF FISH THIS SEASON. We had a low keeper count last season, but did have some awesome videos and photos of contestants hauling in their fish on the mini rods. It’s great content and adds to the fun and competition of the tournament. FISH WILL BE MEASURED FOR LENGTH FIRST, TIE BREAKERS WILL BE A GIRTH MEASUREMENT FROM THE WIDEST POINT AVAILABLE ON THE FISH WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE. (We will only use WIDTH of flat fish.) IF POSSIBLE VIDEO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OF CATCH & MEASUREMENT. NO AI! (I’m looking at you Adam Sandler !)
