Are there any limits for the tournament? #of fish per boat, # of rods allowed to fish. Wondering how your tournaments are set up over there. What are the favorite lures?? Sounds like a fun tournament?

Some pics from the competition.

Every competition have their own rules, this competition have some rules that are common, every team must have a VHF-radio with a certain channel

so everyone can be notified, also every team must take a tag every morning and give it back when they return to the harbour every evening. Maximum 10 rods per boat and

6 salmons per day (never happened that someone caught that many on a day during this competition), gaff is banned, captain of the boat must be at least 18 years old, speed limit when sailing out and home at 7 knots.

Fishing methods is mainly spoons, mixed with some plugs like Tomic, some fish with deadbaitfish but it´s not so common in the Baltic sea, more common in the big lakes of Vänern and Vättern.
