Kingfish Cup Rules

Kingfish Cup Regulations:

This is a fun, easy event to take part of – go diving, spear a kingish, weigh it in at a weigh station and be in the chance to get a prize no matter the size of the legal kingfish.

However, there are some guidelines that need to be adhered to so we have a smooth running event to occur.

Fishing Boundaries

  • Fish can ONLY be taken between Bird Island and Bass Point (fishing outside this area you will be disqualified.)

Signing on daily for the event – letting us know you are going to dive on that day.

Once you have registered online for the Kingfish Cup (ensuring you have entered your mobile number and email) you will still need to let us know when you are entering the water, and  approximately where you will be, and how long you expect to be diving for.  This process is the “sign on” 

You will need to sign on https://adrenosydneykingfishcup.com.au/SignOn    (the green button) your intent to dive on each of the days that you choose to fish (you may fish either one, or both, of the days of the Kingfish Cup.)  You may dive multiple  locations, just please remember and this is important to “sign off”

 

Signing off for the day – letting us know you are safely back.

You need to let us know you are back on land so we do not contact services to go looking for you and to save you from being disqualified!

  • https://adrenosydneykingfishcup.com.au/SignOff  The sign off is the red button, if you do not sign off by 1600 – you will be disqualified by the committee, and emergency services called to locate you. Please press the “RED” button to sign off! Log back on to the website to sign on
