General Discussion

[jd]

Hi, You can post in this thread for general chat about the competition.

[gfkelly1969]

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

[jd]

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

This is an open? in other words I dont have to be a member of club?
Funny thing is this year I am going after all the species listed for my own personal thing.. Happy days!

This is for everybody on the site, nothing to do with any club.

great stuff!
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..

You post on the thread that is opened for each month.
Eg for April go to

and hit reply. The full report is to be put there.

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

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

We go by the "honour system".

[mech1]

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!!!

i think that good idea as most photos are taken on a digtal camera and the time and date can be added to the photo useing the menu of the camera

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.

[Sweetwrasse]

Great idea! Looking forward to Turbo hunting next month

[Creep]

Only thing is my digital camera I can alter the date ... But i think If we're doing it there more fun and sport getting our backsides out there!
I will use the newspaper date headline and logo

[eddie]

why cheat and lie in the comp after all if you cheat you are only cheating and lying to yourself

[fisherman59]

why cheat and lie in ANY COMP when i win a prize ,which is not that often i dont do the walk of shame to collect it

[sully]

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!!

[Creep]

an someone tell me how to post a report in the Comp>>> is it just reply and fill in the rest?

[jd]

Yeah,
Just reply to thread

[donal domeney]

Rather than cause a lot of confusion posters should only post pictures of the nominated species and their report and also put up a full a report and other pictures in the “Sea Angling Reports” where posters can reply.

As stated by JD in the first post http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... 65&t=38625 “reports only”

Anglers willing to comment can so in the “Sea Angling Reports”
