Hilo Trollers

After much discussion with captains, the Trollers board decided in the 3rd week of June to run the July Tournament scheduled for Sunday July 5th weather permitting. Captains have been consulted and procedures for maintaining safety and social distancing at check-in and weigh-in are being reviewed and developed.

Captains will be asked to hang their own fish on the scales and there will be a skeleton check-in and weigh-in crew. Many boats are trolling, and we have had a bit of Ahi fever, so there is strong sentiment that we should run. Safety will come first. Captains have been notified and membership forms, entry forms and tournament rules are available at our supporting tackle stores: S. Tokunaga Store and J. Hara Store. Membership forms and entry fees are due by 4:00 P.M. on Friday, July 3rd
