2018 "June" Shoreline Beast Bash
« on: May 22, 2018, 06:06:31 AM »
June 01, 2018 through June 30, 2018

I'm going to start looking for donated prizes and contact a few places to see if we could score something decent as prizes go.

This will be a contest in which there are multiple categories but in a descending order of importance as prizes go. (Prizes will be sorted as they come in.)

1) Sevengill/Soupfin and other major shark species
2) Leopard Sharks
3) Bat Rays
4) Surf Shark By-catch (Eels, Butterfly Rays, Shovelnose, bass, Smooth-hound, Horn shark, Octopus, Lobster)



Once prize packs are collected and sorted, it will be based on this order of typical surf/bay critters.

Rules

-No Second Place for each of the 4 categories, only the top dog in each category wins.

-a tape measure MUST be used and viewable in one of the pictures taken in any form to show you had a measuring device handy.

-a Clear picture showing the entire shark (and angler if possible)

-The Bycatch winner will be decided on by a member vote (poll) as we will let the people decide which by-catch is more rewarding than the others. (No Lures, Small Rods... only fish caught accidentally on bait on the LONG ROD while shark or ray fishing)  It goes without saying that if you use a small rod, that you are targeting what the big game gear is referring to bycatch.

-Only legal species you are allowed to target and catch, count.  A non-legal species like a BSB or any other protected species by the DFW rules

-Only "Posting" P-Soul members are eligible.  All fishing contests are competitions in which all members including moderators are eligible.   
C-P-R ONLY!!!

-Shoreline based caught only.  Rod has to be affixed into a sand spike on the beach or bay shoreline.  No pier sharks/rays.

-Pictures are mandatory to be counted.

-Contest ends on Saturday June 30th, 2018 at 11:59p.m.


If anyone wants to donate or request donations from their local tackle shop, it would be greatly appreciated to speed up the process in starting this contest.
If any tackle shop or landing donates, I will advertise for them on the website free for month.

If there is anything that needs finer detail in explaining, I'll modify the rules to reflect it but it should be pretty straight forward.

Good Luck!

I can donate some of the dehookers I've been making. Nothing fancy, but everyone going after sharks needs a safer way to pull the hook.
