can i still enter? i thought the comp was closed????

Too late to get a number for March, unfortunately, but not to late to enter a fish, if you already have a number.

This was posted on the 22/03/08...I was under the impression that the March comp period was only from the 01/03/08 through to the 09/03/08???

Am I reading the comp rules wrong???

Cheers...Sparra

You've got it right Sparra. The march comp period has closed. The April one starts this weekend.

You get an entry for posting a fish caught with your allocated comp number for that month in the relevent monthly comp thread. Gatesy will be posting the April numbers tomorrow nite. Check his other post to make sure you're on his list.

What a wonderful competition! I would have been so glad for a chance to win that!

I thought the conditions of entry are great ... all except ONE. 50 Posts?????? I understand what you are trying to achieve with that one but ....... as a moderater on another (non-yakking) group, I know that fifty posts of "On yer mate" and "Nice yak!" don't add up to one thoughtfully written and helpful article. As a new member on AKFF, I won't be entering this comp

I hope you will have a similar comp, the year after next. It will take me about that long to make fifty posts.

That Viking Profish looks like a superb design and I will be itching to meet someone who buys one .... so's I can beg a test paddle. I reckon there might be one of these in my future!

Cheers All,

AndyC

Andy,

I can understand where you are coming from. The reasoning behind it is simple, we didn't want people joining the site soley to win a kayak. We want members who will contribute. Yes we have had one or 2 new members who have ripped through their 50 posts requirement at an astonishing pace to make the cutoff, but the mods were ready to pull aside anyone who resorted to one word posts or similar banality to make the cut. We couldn't think of a worse outcome though then some website troll coming in, with no real interest in kayak fishing, winning the kayak and then finding it on ebay a week later.

From our sponsors point of view, he will hopefully get a winner who will use the kayak the way its meant to be used, put the profish through its paces and put some good posts on this board for other members and potential purchasers to see about its performance, fishability and not too mention the ever popular ability to be modified.

Hi Lazybugger.

I feel bad now, that I caused you the hassle of replying to my post! I totally agree with your reasoning and I did understand the rationale. And I wouldn't have approached it any differently. if I was one of the mods.

I do take my hat off to all of you for the effort you put into making this such a wonderful site. I have spent many pleasurable hours already, reading through loads of helpful information. I've had some great laughs also. You have a wonderful membership here.

My post wasn't intended as a complaint in any way. I really was just saying that its an excellent comp that you have organized and I'd be in it if I could. Also wasn't kidding about the Viking Profish. It seems to me to be the most delightfully logical layout that I have come across. The incresed deck storage, at the expense of in-hull will be a great idea for those who carry the kind of gear that they want to access on the water ..... like divers and fishos.

If it paddles like it looks, it will be my next must-have pipe dream. Made me feel proud, when I found that its an Aussie boat. I'll be watching out for every bit of info that is posted about this model.

Cheers Mate,

AndyC

FYI - THIS COMPETITION RAN AND FINISHED LAST YEAR. Its now 2009 - not 2008!

I've had several emails recently looking to enter the comp so I just wanted to REINFORCE that this comp has now FINISHED..

Thanks, now move along, nothing to see here.
