[garmac]

Does anybody know what the dates will be for the July Comp??

Going by the rules - should have started yesterday 2nd till 10th (i think)

[Squidder]

Yep the comp started yesterday - I have had some computer issues (new puppy chewed through computer power cord ) and have only just got back online. So in case anyone has missed an opportunity, let's run another 3 week comp for July - from yesterday July 2nd until Sunday July 17th.

I'll score up the June comp today and post up scores and prize winners in this thread.

[Squidder]

Scores have been tallied and an impressive June fishing comp has been run and won. The average score for the month was 115, meaning that many great fish were caught which were above the benchmark species score. Well done to everyone who entered and thanks for contributing to the online fishing comp.

The third highest scoring fish for the month was Keza's fearsome hairtail, which scored 152 points.

The second highest scoring fish was PaulB's giant Cowan flathead, which gained 160 points.

But the standout winner in June was Josho's massive Shoalhaven Jewfish which scored the Richie Benaud special score of 222 points. Congratulations Josho, what a fish

Scores for the month are below:
