looking at the species for June I am thinking that it might be a bit unfair for anyone living in the north half of the country,the chances of getting a Stingray or Hounds north of Dublin or Galway would be a lot slimmer then down south

We decided to have 2 species for each month to minimise the travelling, but we can't eliminate it for everybody every month.

great stuff! 8)
only small question is: Do you have to explicitly state on your report (for that month and for the specified species..) that you wish to be considered for the competition..? or are you automatically considered if your species matches..

How do you "prove" the date of catch? Some people could have / have pics going back years (unfortunatly I don't :cry: )

Should there be a rule that puts any of that days newspaper headline alongside the fish?

We go by the "honour system".

Fair enough, its great to know that this sport can run a open comp like this and rely on the honour of participants.

Not many other sports could!!!

Hi

The news paper heading is a good idea, date on pictures, also the way the species hunt was formatted, with the logo in the background of the picture and that with the honor system. cant go wrong.

Really looking forward to this comp it will be a serious challenge!! I'm assuming the big Turbot will be caught in either Connaught or Ulster? We are going to hit the beaches tonight in search of a decent Turbot there has to be one somewhere in Kerry!!
