2017 Summer Shark Contest
« on: June 12, 2017, 09:11:08 AM »
It's always the slowest time of year for surf fishing due to the crowds on the beach, but I think a little fun contest for the P-Soul members are in order to keep the shark spirits sharp!

Rules and Regulations

Prize: "TWO" Half-Day Fishing Trip passes out of H&M Landing.  Rainshadow shirts, Hats and Stickers.  More on the way!

Duration:  June 12th, 2017 through September 21st, 2017. 

Species:  All shark species count, but must be caught from shore!  Hound Shark, Dogfish, Horn Shark, Leopard Shark, Soupfin Shark, Sevengill, Swell Shark, Thresher, Hammerhead, Mako and even Pacific Nurse shark are just some of the species that will be counted.  Any Shark species count (No Rays including guitarfish)

Winning Measurements:  Total Length from tip of nose to tip of tail.  (Someone needs to be a sand hand for verification or a picture needs to be available with a measuring device to count)

Rules:  This one will be a little different than past contests as I will allow baits to be paddled out by kayak, SUP, Board or even droned out as long as the rod never leaves the shoreline.  That will give multiple ways for people to try something new if they want or just fish the old fashioned way and cast out the baits.
Only "Posting" P-Soul members are eligible.  All fishing contests are competitions in which all members including moderators are eligible.   
C-P-R ONLY!!!



(As many times questions will come up and I'll correct or add as needed.  I also will consult the forum lawyer if things get too hairy so let's keep this simple)
Good Luck!!!!!

Wow...  I just got a thumbs up on a few really nice prizes.    I think one will be for the summer contest and the other will have to be a biggy and for surf casting competition only.  I'll update you soon!

The first 12 people to post a shark up for the list will receive a Team Rainshadow trucker's cap!  I will be posting all of the sharks for the summer event on here to keep track.
