Go Fish! Have Fun! Win Great Gear!

Sunrift Adventures is bringing South Carolina Kayak Fishing a unique and fun summer challenge series. Catch the most "inches" of fish and win great some great prizes. Each month the prize will change and the anglers accumulated inches will be reset to zero, starting the challenge all over again.

Photo Details:

Each photo must clearly show length and have the monthly photo identifier in the picture!

The use of DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY to document all entries will be the only accepted method for recording fish.

Each contestant will submit their pictures via e-mail to sunriftchallenge@sckayakfishing.com.

Each submitted digital picture of a fish must be made in or on your kayak, measuring device and Identifier in the photo. Each photo must also clearly show the length of the fish. Length is determined from the forward most point of the fish to the natural un-pinched top of the tail. Fractions will be rounded down to the nearest 1/4 inch. Submitted fish measuring the same length must have distinctive differences in appearance or be subject to disqualification by the challenge officials. In the event of a tie, the entry checked in the earliest will be declared the winner. The officials will be responsible to review all photos to verify qualification and determine place winners. You are free to submit multiple pictures of different angles of the same fish to clearly show its length. Don't forget the photo identifier.

If you have any questions, be sure to ask them here in the SCKF foums!

Striped Bass - 1 per month

Black Bass Family- 1 per month

Catfish - 1 per month

South Carolina Kayak Fishing believes in SAFETY FIRST! Always have a float plan filed with someone who knows where you are going and when you plan on returning. Make sure you have checked the weather, tides, and water conditions for the area you are planning to explore or fish. At all times ensure that you are in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and State rules and regulations for paddle vessels in your area.

In South Carolina, non-motorized vessels such as wind surfers and watercraft (canoes, kayak, etc.) propelled only by human power with oars, paddles or similar devices, are not required to be registered or titled. However, regulations do require that each occupant of the vessel have a type I, II, III, or V personal floatation device (PFD). You are also required to have a whistle or efficient sound producing device onboard. If you are going to be out on the water at night or in low-light conditions you are also required to have a light that is bright enough so that others can see you.

The waterways, rivers, and oceans can be a dangerous place. Please make sure that you take the proper precautions to ensure you have a safe adventure and obey the navigational rules of the water.
