weedwalker · May 22, 2008, 01:13:11 AM

Sounds good to me. Set some size limits and lets go fishing. How long will the contest last?
Size limit for walleye? or different kinds of trout?

alscalls · May 22, 2008, 05:11:05 AM

make one up and lets see it. Then we can decide

FinsnFur · May 22, 2008, 05:23:08 AM

Something like all panfish must be 8" or more
Bass all species must be 14 or more
Northern pike must be 32'' or more
Rough fish, carp, paddle, cat, bowfin, etc must be 20" or more
Saltwater fish must be 36" or more.
Lake Trout 20" or more, Brookies 10" or more.

hey thats discrimination why most of my trout come from streams not lakes :roflmao: looks good so far Jim so how long will we be running this

I dunno, what do you guys think? a weekend?, 30 days?, 60 days?

I like the 30 day deal, gives everyone enough time to get out, and yet keeps it somewhat minimal.

The requirements would be real close to the ones last year posted here, other then the dates.

LORDDAL · May 22, 2008, 06:11:32 AM

I say at least 30days even a 60day would be nice could get some real nice lenghts in 60 what are we looking for as a start date june 1st mid june july what?

DirtyDog · May 22, 2008, 07:52:35 AM

I like it Jim.......but I also would want some stream trout. There are a few here as you saw last year. I would have top say

maybe 14"

That is a big one as far as I am concerned.

weedwalker · May 22, 2008, 09:46:35 AM

How about 60 days. That gives enough time for most to get out. June 1 till July 31?
Walleye size? 15"?

i would like to give it a try, some one please tell me how to get to last years set up please. i fish salt and fresh. my salt is from jetties and the surf down in delaware; we have lots of pan fish thers also and i have yet to see a 36" flounder, also they have a slot limit on red drum. could we go a little like this on the salt water fish

pan fish (spot, croakers (hardheads),sea mullet (king fish) at 10"
flounder at 22"
stripers (rock fish) at 30"
tau taug (blakc fish ) at 18"
tuna, shark and the others at 36"

even if the salt fishing stays the same i'm in. i just hope i dont have to post any pictures (dont have a printer or the know how); i would send pictures to someone else to post for me if there is a volenteer.

Getting stoked about this

Looks like we'll be eating fish for dinner quite often

Todd Rahm · May 22, 2008, 02:29:24 PM

Well not quite sure of options but, maybe seperate the salt water and fresh water, and do just a fresh water contest since thats what most folks have access to.

And one day of red salmon fishing could put me in the lead for the next couple of years with over all length.

Heck had a pike day two years ago where I probably landed 200 pike varying from 22" to 41".

Picture contest would be a nice option, ya know have the best hero pic and have the board vote on it. heck ya might do a size one with the fish and the ruler in the same pic but I'm not sure how ya would vary for the different fish. Ya know like a 52" king salmon. 30" rainbow, etc...................

Plenty of options I supose.

Sounds like fun but man I'm lazy when it comes to the camera.

FinsnFur · May 22, 2008, 05:26:59 PM

LorDDaL, Start date can be whenever we get it ironed out and I make a post with a set of requirements.

Dirtydog, brookies, creekies, streamies...same thing

frshwtr, last years tournament is posted here

Yeah Todd you could smoke us all

but that's why we have to break it down. But I think photosa are going to have to be a must again

frshwtr · May 22, 2008, 05:45:37 PM

ok i'm in if i can send pictures to someone to post for me. any volenteers. if not i'll be eagerly keeping trak of the contest scoring myself just for chits and grins.

FinsnFur · May 22, 2008, 06:09:36 PM

frshwtr, how come you can't upload them to photobucket and post them like we do?

Bills Custom Calls · May 22, 2008, 07:21:08 PM

Jim Size don't matter to me I fish for the fun of it and if by chance I catch a biggerun I am very happy

I know we need rules for the contest and I am of no help here so what ever the rest of you fellers come up with
it is ok with me I am just waiting on a start date

Anyway I am going fishing on Sunday as far as I know now

FinsnFur · May 22, 2008, 07:25:30 PM

Works for me

The tournament is underway, topic is pinned. I'm going to lock this one down since the titles are too close to being the same in hopes that it drops down the list.
