For those in the know, I have a couple quick questions that I couldn't answer via their website.

1. Is it too late to enter?
2. What are the fishing boundaries for this tournament?

Any info is greatly appreciated, txs.

I checked a couple times and only reference to boundaries is once you enter derby, some sort of document in entry package will list boundaries. Since I haven't entered yet, I do not have this document.

It specifically states, "The boundaries are defined on a map which included in your sign up package. An eligible fish must not be transported outside the bounds. Each boat participating in the Derby must be in compliance with current U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations.
No fish caught from a boat may touch any land except Martha's Vineyard. Boats may refuel in Falmouth and Nantucket Harbors, but fish must remain on board."

Boundries include all of the Elizabeths through Woods Hole up the coast of Falmouth to the east end of Hyannis Harbor then South to encompass all the waters surrounding Nantucket and east to the Vineyard. No shore fish on Nantucket or the mainland.

That is right, from Sow and Pigs to Great point. There is a map that outlines the boat bounds, its big. From the shore....any place on MV. People have bought tickets for fish the derby on the last day of the derby just to fish one day. About 3000 tickets are expected to be sold.
