[fishfinder]

hello guys,

i still didn't decided yet if I will be participating to this competition but I've just heard that the birzebbuga competition will be moved to the 12th as well cause on the 6th it will be a rough sea.

There is one place left on The Gaffer for the MFF competition.  We shall apply the usual rule of cost sharing.  The boat if full of fuel when it leaves port, when we re-enter port, The boat is refilled, and the bill is divided by 4.  First one to post here gets the place.  The gaffer, code named Team Intimidator for the MFF....is all rigged up and ready to gooooooooooooooooooo

  I come back from a very late night flight, I would have loved to join in.

Enjoy the fishing guys.

Guys, numbers seem a bit low to organise a fully fledged competition and we are kind of running out of time. Would be interested to hear your opinions about down-scaling the 'competition' and doing more of an informal type competition just for forum members. Especially as it seems one of the clubs has moved theirs to the same date.

Let me know your thoughts and let's finalise what we're going to do in the next few days.

[DJS]

Sounds like a good idea Skip. Maybe it's a good idea to stocktake at this stage how many boats / people are actually planning to participate. Then perhaps we can plan a less formal event between us over the next few days

DJS - 'Boat with No Name' x 2 persons.

[The_Gaffer]

Which club are you refering to? if its the B'bugia one there is nothing official yet, since windfinder.com is forcasting a N NE F3 wind for Sunday 6 july. In any case, what is the count up till now, and do.we have any participants who are not fowum members?

[skip]

5 boats confirmed (Skip, The Gaffer, Shanook, Ramio, DJS), one tentative Fishfinder.

No one that I know from outside.

[shanook]

skip ramio does not like to take part in competition but is willing to give a hand or is a a boat??

[skip]

You're right Tony, so that's four boats only. Maybe Mario would come out and fish anyway/act as a support vessel maybe do some filming.

What would be great but I doubt everyone would agree to, is if we were to fish in a pack like four abreast and have the boats rotating positions every so often so that there are no advantageous positions. It would still be a good competition to see who has the best lures out or is running them in the right part of the spread and a learning experience for us.

The pressure in the water and the number of lures we would be presenting on the surface should raise the fish up considerably. We could co-ordinate turns etc via radio. Always wanted to fish in a pack and see it's effects.

if the other competition is going to be held on the same day then might as well let everyone represent his club as they dont like to lose... and in the meantime we can use the same results to have our first winner.... mind u anyone who is representing any club is to meet with an official of MFF to check and confirm his boat his boat. just a suggestion.... any nitty gritty will be resolved later.
