  • Angling Rules
    ENTERING YOUR CATCH Virtually every day of the year the WPBFC has a fishing contest underway. That means that each time you go fishing you can potentially catch a contest winning fish. But as the old saying goes, "You can't win if you don't enter". For fish to be eligible for great trophies and tackle prizes, club members simply have to submit their entry on an official WPBFC catch affidavit, which must be fully completed and submitted electronically or returned to the Fishing Club (or postmarked) within 14 days of the catch. It is permissible to fax (or email) entries to the club (561) 832-2137. Incomplete affidavits will not be processed. Anglers do not have to kill their catch for entry in fishing club contests. Caught, weighed and released fish are eligible, providing they are weighed on an official club certified hand scale, or if you don't have a certified hand scale, you can weigh your catch at any weigh station that has a certified scale. Entering fish is that simple. Your catch does not have to be a ‘trophy’ fish to win an award. Contact the club if you should have any additional questions. JUNIOR ANGLERS (AGES 10-18) WPBFC Junior Anglers are members ages 10-18 years old. Junior anglers are eligible for all award categories in the WPBFC annual Fishing Contest (Nov. 1 - Oct. 31), annual angling trophies and All-Time Club Records. All qualifying junior angler catches should be entered and will be considered when determining the Junior Angler of the Year Award (see specific Junior Angler of the Year criteria on the Annual Fishing Contest chart).

This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.
