SUMMER SPECIES COMP 2010 - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[Davey G]

OK, so this comp was a bit of fun last year, so the AKFF Summer Species Challenge is back for 2010!!

This year we will be accepting entries from members who can catch the following species at the minimum size or above.

KINGFISH - minimum size accepted will be 75cm
BREAM (All species) - minimum size accepted will be 36cm
AUSTRALIAN BASS - minimum size accepted will be 40cm
FLATHEAD - minimum size accepted will be 65cm
WHITING - minimum size accepted will be 36cm
MACKERAL/TUNA/OTHER PELAGIC - minimum size 80cm
OTHER FRESHWATER SPECIES - minimum size 60cm

Comp runs from December 1 2009 until 31 March 2010. Prizes will be awarded to the best/biggest fish in each category at the end of the comp period. Random prizes will also be awarded in each category with everyone who's entered in with a chance to win something. As long as you've entered something bigger than the minimum size, you're in with a chance of picking up a goody!.

Please enter a picture of the fish in the relevant 2010 Summer Species threads (which i'll set up shortly). Fish entered must be bigger than the minimum size and must be kayak caught and ideally must be photographed with measurement clearly shown. As with the fishing comp, Date/time/location of capture, type of kayak and details of tackle used etc should also be added. Ideally you'll also include a link to your trip report which can be placed in the normal area of the site.

NOTE - ENTRIES INTO THIS COMPETITION ARE RESTRICTED TO FULL AKFF MEMBERS WITH A MINIMUM OF 50 POSTS and 3 MONTHS MEMBERSHIP.

We've included a range of fish which hopefully will allow the MAJORITY of AKFF members a chance to target at least one or more species, and we're also aware that not everyone lives in an area where these fish are readily available..Sorry, can't do much about that! This is a fun comp, and hopefully we'll see some good size fish come on board over the summer months...

Judges decison is final, have fun and go get em...

[Feral]

Strewth, I'll have to have a go at the Bass, all the others would just about take my PB's to get an entry in!

[keza]

Davey, can you put some sort of restriction that says the kingfish comp can't be won in the first week, cause that put a real downer on it last year

[Davey G]

if someone catches a thumper in week 1 then your mission is to catch a bigger one by week 16...

[Davey G]

BUMP...

Just a reminder that the SUMMER SPECIES COMP entries finish at the end of March. Get your entries in!
