FW Exmouth Comp - Opening Night - Friday 14th May - 7pm - Chalet A - Lighthouse Caravan Park
Hi Crew,
The fishwrecked Exmouth competition opening night will be held out the front of Mako Magic's place which is - CHALET A - at the LIGHTHOUSE CARAVAN PARK. It will be on the Friday night before the competition at 7PM. It should only take 15-20 minutes to get it all sorted (please try and get there a little before 7)
What will happen is I will hand each team their own clip on tags for the comp (different from last year) and the rules and go through how the comp will be run. Each team will need to put their individual badge on the fish they catch and take photos of fork length, total length and a photo of you holding the fish with the badge in each of the pics. You will need to measure the fish as it sits naturally, if the photos look like the fish has been distorted to lengthen the fish then that entry will be disqualified.
There will be categories for almost all of the prized fish in Exmouth waters - if you wish to catch and release or catch and kill that is completely up to you and as the competition is a photo competition - fishwrecked holds no responsibility for your actions. Upon accepting the entry details you acknowledge that you enter at your own risk and will have agreed to an indemnity waiver effectively stating fishwrecked is not liable for your actions.
The prizes will generally be around $100 cash for each section, I am weighing up buying a birds eye flight as one of the prizes (hang gliding over town), Mako Magic has donated a custom built game rod and triton: http://fishwrecked.com/forum/exmouth-2010-biggest-marlin-prize-finished for the biggest marlin caught (the fish will need to be measured so please have a tape measure on board - any issues with this prize will be sorted by Matt and myself and a winner will be decided) Gully has decided to do up a print as he did last year, this year it is:

I am also hoping to get Men on Boats on board with a 100 hour service as a prize and will also be doing a random prize for the best photo that sums up the weekend, or just something cool. I haven't assigned specific prizes to categories as yet, just sorting some of the finer details, but things should be done soon. There will also be a junior section this year as well as a landbased prize.
I'm sure theres more I've forgotten to mention here, but its getting sorted, if you have any questions, please let me know - otherwise I will outline it all on the Friday night and hope to see all off you who have registered there. :)
Cheers,
Adam

Adam, the reel im adding on that rod is a old shimano trition trolling series 50w, not a tiagra, much to the disgust of some people lol.
Sounds like a good trip coming up and definately a nice print donated by Gully

$100
For the Friday night entry night, I've decided to put the names of people who are wearing an item of fishwrecked attire in a hat and who ever's comes out will win a crisp $100 note. So if you want a chance, make sure you've got one of your fishwrecked items on! :)

yeeehooooo!!
Can't wait, I'll be rolling into town on the bus at 1:30am on that Friday or something stoopid like that. Gully left Perth today, towing his weapon up there - he'll have a week to find the gold and then it'll be back-to-back baby!!!
What do I need to catch to get me that print from Gully? I've seen the same print on his wall - it is really something I can tell you! One of those rare pics that make you really feel something...
Great event Ads, yeralegend - was a great time last year, had a ball meeting some real life Fishwreckers! Looking forward to it this year too!
Seeyas there YEEEEHOOO!
Ewan
p.s. Mako - you've got a lot to live up to mate, from the Faulkner's hospitality last year!!!
Many thanks to everyone doing the organising, hosting and sponsoring!

Do the rules state a brag
Do the rules state a brag mat or does a normal fisheries sticker apply for proof of size?

Even brag mats are often too
Even brag mats are often too short, perhaps a tape is better?

Land based rules
How about making the land based rules based arround the new boat fishing license rules
any activity where fish, crabs or shellfish are taken where a boat is used to reach the fishing location.
I dont think being able to jump in a boat, travel 60km out to a remote island, fish from shore, is quite within the spirit of the normal "landbased" competition.
Hey. It dosen't really matter to me as I will be out on those islands myself. I just feel that the landbased comp is more for the people without the aid of a boat
Twin turbo..V8 diesel..Ohh what a feeling!!
