Hey, what part of "Bring your own Beer" didn't you understand ?

It's an idea but I've also heard that the Interclubs competition normally held on the 1st weekend of july will not be held this year, which means we could move our main backup day which was Sat 4th July to Sunday 5th July

The more options as dates we have the better.

What happens if i cannot attend the meeting ? is it possible to send someone instead of me from the crew or maybe can i meet up with someone organising ??

As the forum promotes conservation will there be a catch limit for example 5 fish per angler? Say a boat has 4 fishing then its total fish catch would be 20 fish.If a boat has 3 fishing then its total catch would be 15 fish.The winners could then be decided by the boats that catch their maximum quota of fish the total weight .of which is devided by the number of anglers on that boat.For example boat A quota 20 fish 4 anglers total weight 200 Kg average per angler 50Kg. Boat B quota 15 fish 3 anglers total weight 156 Kg average per angler 52Kg. Therefor boat B wins. Just a thought,what do the administrators think and of course the forum members bearing in mind that this event is going to be televised and we don,t want to be seen as people who take every thing that they can from the sea.   :)

Good ideas but will not be implemented this time around. It seems some people have a problem/issue with the cost of fuel and don't like the idea of being restricted in any way in terms of the number of fish they catch, nor giving them away to charity. For the boats coming from the North, there is going to be one serious fuel bill and miles travelled, although 5 fish per angler is pretty generous and optimistic.

This is something that warrants further discussion and investigation for next year, shame you didn't think about it a few weeks ago :p

It's too late to be changing the rules at this stage and it's important to have a successful first successful competition which we can then build on in the future.

We will leave it up to each skipper to decide if he wants to donate excess fish to charity which personally I think is a great idea.....one has gone out and spent the fuel, can only keep the fish for personal consumption so any excess would be very well received by charity after taking care of your own personal needs and those of your family etc, but it's not something we will impose as a rule at this stage.

I totally agree with fish conservation and catch and release.  The only problem that I see here is since judgement will depend on weight, which fish shall one keep to maximise the chance of winning.  e.g, say I reach my quota by 9.30am, and then I get a strike at 10.00am, and this fish is much larger then what I have in the boat.  Remember, the ones I have in the boat are now dead.  So I can't release one of them back into the sea.  What do I do?
