petekd - i agree with most of what youve said above and apologies for going off topic

but most polls on this site dont get too many hits - people dont want to give strong opinions - plenty of talk of fishing, thats perfect - but sitting on the fence when it comes down to it

the apathy seems to win in the end - so its great there are people like andy not prepared to mull about and go for it

17 replies isnt that bad at all most posts dont get that - and there have been some strong views mentioned - its a start

think the same people will ignore it if it was in the Q&A section anway :roll:

I haven't voted because the survey was aimed at IFSA members and I'm not a member of an IFSA affiliated club (or any angling club for that matter). I imagine many others have not voted for the same reason.

All ifsa matches including club matches should be catch and release. Our club has been like this for 2 years nows both boat and shore.
I thought about the one that got away and it did

Hi guys,

Just getting back to the desk after a few days in the West. I voted no before I read the thread. After reading all the posts my vote would be yes. I agree that all Comps IFSA or otherwise should be C&R. I also think that anyone fishing a C&R comp should be allowed to retain a fish for the pot should they wish. I know I would not fish a comp that did not allow me to keep a fish of a reasonable size for the pot. Excellent thread though and I am enjoying reading the posts.
