Hi Guys/Gals,

Just trying to do some organising for the Exmouth comp in terms of prizes.  Could all skippers/deckies sort out their entry fees so that I know how much we can put into each section, please send me a PM so we can sort it out.  Its going to be much easier doing it over the next few weeks and will save a lot of hassle rather than doing it the night before the comp.  The entry fees are $10 per person, if you wish to give more it all goes to boosting the prize kitty

Can members also please get themselves a ruler to measure demersal fish, as it will be a photo based comp on sizes, rather than weight.

Assuming there are 50 people thats $500 - which can be $50 worth of prizes for 8 sections and 1 $100 prize.  Here's a basic idea of what I'm thinking.

Biggest Marlin = $50

Biggest Sailfish = $50

Most Billfish Caught and Released = $100

Biggest Red Emperor = $50

Biggest Spangled Emperor = $50 + Fisheries research shirt/stubby holders

Biggest Spaniard/Wahoo = $50

Biggest Dolphinfish = $50

Biggest Rankin Cod = $50

Biggest Landbased fish = $50

Biggest Tuna = 3 Daiwa Long Sleeve Shirts + 

Biggest Coral Trout = Large print of u/w Trout photo

The Faulkner Family has also donated $100, so they can choose where that money goes or create their own prize fish.

This is just a vague idea of how things will be broken up.  If there is more than the $500 donated, which looks like there will be (thanks Pilbarabrad) then the prizes for each section can be boosted or we can add a couple more sections.

I also want to know, apart from Pete D/NOHA/Scottynofish who else will be staying in town or is everyone at the lighthouse?  Just so we can organise a get together the night before the comp and a night afterwards.

Cheers,

Adam
