At least if the fishing is BAD, then there's some valid excuse, hehehehehe like "I wasn't fishing I went shopping for new gear"
The Cricket, well, there's just NO EXCUSE.
Thank God it's over.
Happy Hunting those LGF's

theres a supprise tomorrow.jokin just the regular fishing
Guys i remember the first time i came across the site. There were only about 5 members. The same week nivi, master ass and i met. and its been going foward ever since. we had some really good committment sincefrom all members.
I wish that all of this could culminate in a proper sealine A , B , C etc angling club social or internally competative. We can then have the top anglers moving in to represent sealine in teh NCAU or ANCHOR. members will be motivated to learn more and it caters for both teh competitive and social spheres of the sport. This experience can filter to teh beginers in the form of clinics or angling mentorship academies. I must STRESS that we must not lose the current focus and position of sealine. But we need some diversification. Just my views guys. Anyway i have a sore back cos i havent been fishing much. WHen i fish teh whole body is relaxed, my wife cant understand it

I agree with you but i have a few questions as well.How many of our members are ready and willing to compete in the leagues.I for one have no first hand experience in competitive fishing,but i have learnt alot from some of my closest freinds who do fish club.
According to them you have to be available on week ends ie Saturday and Sunday.Im sure that not to many guy's have of from work on both day's.Secondly there is the cost factor,The travelling expenses are very high,Having said this i know there are a few who probably do have the time and money.So my sugestion would be to put names down on a separate post and see what sort of response you get.
Then you have to take into account that certain members may have family comitments etc..What happens then when it comes to Postals etc....we have to have some sort of back up plan etc.. in place in this event.
So guy's who do wat to fish competitively have to be totally comitted to comp times venues travelling etc etc..If we can get this done then i don't see any reason for our emperor saying no to a SEALINE ANGLING CLUB..
Hope you listening EMP Hint Hint WinkWINk::H::H

I tend to lean towards Blade's point of view in that (if I understand him correctly) we can construct teams either on a Social or Serious Club competition basis, and angling would then duely conform to the type of team it is.
Say we've got two Gauteng teams (Social) we could compete against each other as say a "Friendly", still dishing out prizes and point but not on a serious Angling Club Level or in that strict rigidity. Having said that, we could always nominate someone from the social teams to enter a Proper Sealine Angling Club/Team to represent Sealine as a whole at National and or International competitions if it gets that far.
Again Blade made mention of not losing the focus of what Sealine currently is and also where it's going and personally I think that if there were to be Social teams competeing for fun and learning from each other then surely the concept that fuels Sealine will thrive and not fade as will be the case if there's only serious club structures.
As for seminars/workshops/clinics and workshops, well these can always be presented by the entire team as part of extending Sealine's idea or by one or two members of one or two teams.
I really think the Social aspect is what this Community is based on , and should that be changed into a full-blown Serious Club competition like structure then Sealine will lose all that is Sealine.
Just my humble opinion.

I have a sugestion because somehow im a bit lost here.I'm not sure if i am right here but is what you are trying to say is that we should start at a social level and then by doing so Sealine then choose a team or representitive to represent the forum on a professional basis.If so then i am with you on this.
I feel it would definately be a platform which we could build on and in doing so form so to say an internal league of some sort with the ultimate goal being chosen to represent Sealine.Sort of like getting colours.
I think that would be a great idea but will also take alot of planning and input from everyone concerned.
Cheers Riymos

Hi guys
The one paramount focus of Sealine is that it is a Community Based Forum/Organisation with the emphasis of fun ,learning and conservation. I like the idea like we have at ptresent with the Two Ocean Comp and more to come with the fresh water comps etc.
I think if we go Too competitive Sealine becomes another angling club with looking for sponership...money headaches and the like...Yes go more socials...introduce the leaderboard system ...but to go for organised comps with the other Pros...I dont know whether we can still keep up our identity.
That my sentiments.

Im with you guys. That why i stressed the current focus.All im trying to sy we need to map out a platform to allow mobility to the top, allow for social angling whilst growing the sport. This kind of diversification allows for growth of sealine, becomes a force within angling circles.
Rymos: You are correct.this would need 200 % committment. At least we can have some competition between sealine A B C etc. we need not compete outside sealine.memebers who want to can do so on their own accord. EG Sealine A 10 members, B 10 members. Juniors A and B. Maybe a females sealine membership as well. Just ideas im throwing around.
Like all ventures you reach a climax/equilibruim, then theres a decline like in the product life cycle
New and creative ideas will keep up the spirit
BTW when will sealine be a year old.
Im sure we need to have a commeration comp/social
Cheers

Hi Blade
I think if you noticed from the last few comps...although we are together as a Community when we fish each section as got a grouping already. I known from the first social we fished together with a bunch of guys and the last social Veez joined us.
So in any social gathering you have people gravitate together for any reasons...So there you have the beginnings of SEAline A,b.c etc.....So the seperate units are allready...so if we feel like it we can the team socials as well.

Hi Guys,
Regarding setting up a competitive angling within sealine, I would love to fish competitively But I cannot make it my priority nor can I give 200% commitment.
I have 2 Kids 7 & 8 years and they are quite active in sports etc and this is where my commitment is.
I know there are many members keen to form a club, and are committed, so if the numbers are there maybe sealine should form one.

The Focus of Sealine (if I understand it correctly) is to grow as a community of anglers of various disciplines where we can learn fromeach other either by conversing here or getting together watching each other fish. Now, not to lose this we defs have to ensure that whatever type of clubs, comps and the likes we create, that the Social scene receives priority at this time. Sealine is still young and you need to crawl before you walk let alone run the 100m's in 9 seconds.
What I'm saying is that, most of the guys that I've "seen" ito posts and the few I actually met at social gatherings just aren't in the possition to belong to a structure where there are club comps every weekend or so and if you don't go then you're letting the club down and so forth (funds, admin, planning, structures, etc.) Hence, the importance of the social side of Sealine, getting people together to fish for fun and to learn from each other, not that we should never get to a level where Sealine can have a registered club that participates in serious comps and so forth, I just think that we still need to feed the membeship base, before we could create such a Club or clubs.
I dunno, I just think that if Sealine tries to run the 100m's in 9 sec now at a time when Sealine is still learning to crawl properly, the Main Idea behind Sealine will break more than a couple of legs, Sealine might (worst case scenario) Die, and that would be a serious loss for all of us.
Keep the social thing going and growing and when it's big enough and the membership has reached a good amount and socials happen on a weekly basis then start looking at forming a regional club or provincial and/or national.
Maybe I'm missing the point but that's just my humble opinion.
