CAPE TOWN BIRTHDAY BASH SOCIAL FISHING COMP

Walt

Sealiner
Come on Cape Town!Let's show Sealine & rest of country what Cape Town anglers are capable of in a Comp.Expecting a large number of raised CT hands to show Sealine that we know how to stand together,how to angle, as well as definitely know how to celebrate.So,let's turn out in numbers and make a statement

Seriously think, as CT members we should  also be commemorating Sealine's Birthday Bash and give the Vaalies and KZN fellow anglers some competition,fishing from down here in the Mother city.Have got stamp of approval from Emperor and Reefman with regard to Comp.Marthin had initially suggested the Comp when I approached him about a Sealine get together and is going to be angling in his new sexy Sealine gear.I've got mine already!Thanx Emperor,Reefman!Dates for comp coincide with weekend of upcountry Birthday Bash and can be either Sat 11th Oct or Sun 12th Oct.Or even over both days to see who can bag the biggest or most fish over 2 consecutive days.

To make this Comp a success we'll need assistance with the following:

1)We'll need a SPONSOR in order to award PRIZES as well as covering any unforseen costs.Sponsors can have the option of getting mileage via a FREE BANNER on SEALINE for one Month.Thanx Reefman!

2)We need an Officiater au fait with measuring/weigh-ins of different species/categories such as for edible/non edible Prizes.We'll need someone in the know and has had experience with ESA or club angling and can decide on who is a winner in order to authenticate this Comp.We'll obviously also need to borrow a suitable scale for the Comp if anyone has one we can put to use; 

3)We need Ideas on Angling Venues,where to weigh-in,etc;

4)We need PHOTOGRAPHERS to prove to Sealine that Cape Town anglers can compete with our upcountry fishing members; 

5)We need info and innovations to make this Comp a huge success and perhaps set a precedent for future Comps.;

Any info,suggestions,etc,will be greatly appreciated and may prove instrumental in getting this Comp off the ground.

Lastly,let's show Sealine and rest of country that Cape Town anglers are genuine hard core anglers and not in the Internet Type Angler mould.Let's take up this challenge as Cape Town anglers and offer a huge showing and see if we can outnumber our upcountry Birthday Bashers. 

Thanx in advance!

Thanx Sage!Any suggestions will be taken into account.We could possibly consider a double header Comp.One on the Saturday and one on the Sunday.That may be convenient for all.Let's see if we come up with some sponsors first.Cheers!

Thanx Walt. We need to get everyone together like we did for the social. We can take fish measurements in stead of scales and then work out the weight thru the ORI tables.

Guys start checking your dates and availability now if you can, and let guys know who were at the social who might not get online as much about what we are planning.

If we want to make it a comp, we can do what they are doing in KZN and each guy pays R100 entry, and we buy a nice reel from a tackle supplier or something of the likes. Also try and get a sponsor from one of the tackle suppliers.

Any ideas will be appreciated. AND we also need some of the active "sliders" to participate. The only way we will be able to compete with these Vaalies sliding whole carps out at Mapelane.

Hiya Marthin!Thanx for the input.Must turn this Comp into a BlockBuster and it could just become a regular feature on the Sealine calendar.Cheers!

Good on you,Copper, for your magnanimous gesture.Didn't anticipate such a quick response for assistance,but most welcome and greatly appreciated.I don't really think you realize what you've just initiated.You've sparked the competition off and it can now become a reality.I'm sure there'll be others following with offerrings of their own or from their businesses as well.A big Thanx!Cheers!

Walt what type of prizes you looking for,let me know and i will see what i can do.Nice to see all the response.
Thanx Buddy!Anything to make this Comp a success and to set a precedent for others and think at times it's the actuality of winning a prize that counts the most,as that's reward in itself.pm me if you like.Thanx!

If the fishing is as slow as it has been, perhaps we should set up a boxing ring as well, those that have words on the site can have a bash at each other, unarmed or armed with their favourite rod, it will help to also once and far all sort out if HMG is better than HMC. Maybe we should also have a reel throwing comp, see which travels furtherest, Shimano or Daiwa, along the lines of those Scottish highland games?
