Excellent Idea.
Especially since many of us have to work on the weekend and for many reasons cant attend planned competition days.
I suprised it hasnt already happened.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I reckon keeping it as simple as possible would be the best option. 3 categories Inshore estuary offshore. Like the peg idea. Once a month would be the go as well. I reckon we will aim for the 1 August. Hopefully the moderators can sticky topic the idea as well and we will keep it in Saltwater Photos. Everyone happy with that?
So is it the biggest fish wins?Originally Posted by devocean
or the best photo? or the prettiest looking fish?
Is it by species each month?
Is it only going to be enjoyable for Qld fisherpersons?(remember we all have different species seasons)
Who is the judge of the winner? (member poll I take it). Just remember member polls have been rigged before by getting all your mates to vote for you (and I have no mates :-) )
Still plenty of time to iron it out though.
shouldn't the idea be to reward the winner ....
and any fish caught from an OC is banned ...
Common sense will prevail and I dont think it will be the biggest fish. Most guys on here recognise a good fish from a good location on decent gear is going to outdo some huge fish on 120lb handline. I just dont want it to get get to technical. Maybe a panel of Ausfish members would be the best option. Some of the more experienced members from each area could be used.
Me reckons the prize/award should based on merit n effort ie; Time n effort put into catching particular species..Yarn accompanied by catch ..And offcourse a reasonable piccie accompanying said catch..
Something also attached to Pic showing date of catch (no old Pics)..
Judges then decide on who wins...
I nominate Derek fer first Judge
...
Whatcha's reckon??..
What about Agnes Jack, Webby, Jaybee as judges
i agree with keeping it as simple as possilbe.
what about nominating a species and size before you catch it, the closest for the month wins a certificate and maybe a pic of themselves and the fish on the front page of this site.
their pic could be put up at 12noon to 2pm daily and be called "our legend in their own lunchtime"
cheers mal
Why do the Judges all have to be old people ??? lol.
I reckon have a Judges panel say 5 Judges which are judging this round, then 5 new judges for the next round.
You need a standard item to be included in picture.
1 entry per member per month. I dont think you should make it a particular species, just what ever the member catches with 1 entry per section ( Estuary, Beach, Offshore. ) with Date, Location & Weight recorded with the picture. Entry must be submitted to the Ausfish Fishing Comp thread. Have 1st, 2nd, 3rd & so on depending on amount of entries in a class. Winners posted on an Honour Board and recieve a certificate.
Thats my spin on this.
Cheers

Dumb idea! How about a competition I had some chance of winning
Can we have a competition for the best looking fishing buddy?
Cheers Doug
Nup ya too ugly 8)...
Good point. just because they are mods or have 10,000 posts doesn't make them the obvious judges
There are plenty of technical comps so I agree that a catch of the month comp that is subjectively decided by some respectable chaps like Webby, Nugget, Mono, Greg Lemprech and our own favourite camp oven cook, for instance.
That means weigh ins are not necessary but it would be great to see size comparison as size does matter
We would enter via a monthly post and the prize is an honour and the winning post could be a separate locked thread that just shows the winning entry with justification of the judges.
Subjective because a 5yo catching a Mangrove Jack with bread on a handline outside a campsite might be more of a catch of the month than a Monster Amberjack off the 50's.
Keep it simple to get it going and you can always complicate it a bit later on.
Great Idea Devo!!
All sounds good, I agree that it should be kept simple.
I would also agree that rather than the biggest fish, that it be judged on "the merit of the catch" As Burley Boy said.

What do you mean "old", what are you trying to say ???

Nothing. Are you implying that you may be past it or reached your used by date or perhaps its just the smell ??? lolGreat Idea Devo!!

I do think it would be a good opportunity to give some of the younger guys a chance to give their opinions and decisions in a judging role.
I agree it shouldnt be the biggest fish however I dont think it should be a specified species, members should be allowed to enter any species they catch that month. It gives a better variety and more opportunities for members to qualify each round. Remembering that 1 entry per member per month per class, so as not to swamp the competition with 1 member entering 10 times in a class that month.

James
