Sea Angler?

[wilky83]

I was reading a report here of a guy who caught a ray and got a badge from sea angler magazine i was wondering if i could apply for the bass badge as the limit for the south is 8lbs and 6lbs for the north of england so im above both, would be cool to have and then try for a few more??

Yeah, I got my Bass badge. (and one or two others..... )

[wilky83]

Excellent so do i just fill out the form and send it off do they need a photo?? Also do i apply for north or south? i presume south, also the photo is of the fish on the ground im not in it does this matter???

[Determined Dan]

Not with the picture in the mag but i got the cap from another time last year.its worth putting in the extra stamps and if they don't use them they send them back .its a nice cap . give it a go .

you wont get a badge with you not in the snap and have a read of the rules in the mag fish have to be caught with in a sertain date

[Tanglerat]

They have quite a big prize for the annual winning fish, so if yours is potentially a winner they're strict and vet the entry closely. However, they're a bit more lenient if it's just a run of the mill specimen, they might not ask for a pic of you holding the fish, or check the qualifing date too closely.

Best just phone them up and ask what they'll accept, really.

im not having a go at anyone but why ring them its in black and white in the mag people work hard for the badges so do it proper its just the same as specimen hunting

[wilky83]
