We have spoken to the chairman of Simmers. They wil get us permission to be on the water.

I would like to get a poll going to see how many ppl will be attending.

 

[JustPlainSHARK]

Presume its only for boatfishermen.

 

[basslover]

Id love to compete, was there one night a few weeks ago and loved it!!!
But i would love some more info to see if i can make it??

 

[CarpKing23]

Hi , We would first of all , like to find out if the ppl are interested in competing ,

Then we will determine the date , We were thinking of hosting one just before winter and one @ the beginning of sep. I will have more info by end of next week.

please vote at the pole

 

[CarpKing23]

You can compete from the side , i just don't think you would be at any advantage from the bank. We have a open comp for bank anglers. This comp is also no for speed boats.

 

[basslover]

Sounds great.

 

[catchit]

Gary sound awesome, my 2 sons and I are in

 

[Loams]

Would love to, but need a date first....

 

[madporra]

Cool beans! I voted YES but dude you must give much more info, and there HAS to be very strict rules or you will have very irritated okes, and in some cases you can forget okes coming again.

Speak to basslover (organiser of the KBBC Competitions), or check out the rules on their website www.kickboatclassic.co.cc to give you an idea of the standard rules.

They host an awesome competition (next one is at Germiston Lake on Saturday 12 June (during the day!) launching from VLC), and yes sometimes it's a thankless job, but they do it for the love of the sport and it's going places ...... (and ANYONE can join this KBBC comp too!).

Night fishing a definite though - Dave and I are in - nice!

I will PM you, so that I can help you get the word out on the bassing-orientated site I am on.

Yehah!!!

Hi All , I have spoken to the chairman of simmers , we need to get more info on how save it is for a lot of people being on the water at night. If any one can assist us in this matter please add it to the topic.

 

[basslover]

More info on the safety, what do you mean??

We will maybe need a person on a boat or bass boat that will be able to get to someone quick enough for safety reasons, another must maybe is GLOW sticks??

 

[CarpKing23]

This is what I had in mind

Must be 2 together
Wistle
Life jacket
Light
Mandatary rest period. Every 4 hours you must go to the bank and have a rest.

Please feel free to add your extra's , remember this is a social and I want every one involved , if we get this right , there will be plenty more.

IF YOU ALLOW FLOAT TUBES, INFLATABLES, FIBREGLASS DINGHIES, PONTOON BOATS ETC. THERE SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH PEOPLE AROUND THAT YOU CAN CALL FOR HELP. AND I KNOW I WOULD HELP ANYONE IN DISTRESS!!

Whistle
GREAT IDEA,BUT ONLY TO BE USED FOR DIRE EMERGENCIES.IF AN OKE WHISTLES FOR FUN HE WILL CHASE THE FISH. NOT NICE!

Life jacket
A BIT DIFFICULT WHEN YOU'RE ON A FLOAT TUBE, BUT IF KIDS ARE FISHING, A MUST!

Light
YOU NEED ONE ANYWAY. IT'S LIT UP LIKE CRAZY AT NIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT DAYTIME EITHER OUT THERE.

Mandatary rest period. Every 4 hours you must go to the bank and have a rest.
ALSO A BIT DIFFICULT IF YOU IN YOUR FLOAT TUBE, I WOULD NOT WANT TO KICK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE LAUNCH JUST FOR ROLECALL OR SOMETHING. EISH I'LL BE TIRED BY 12PM lol .....

MAJOR THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- GET COMPETITORS TO SIGN INDEMNITY FORMS, NO MATTER HOW SOCIAL YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN EVENT
- GET THE WEIGHING SYSTEM "DONE AND DUSTED" BEFORE AN EVENT (HOW MANY FISH TO COUNT? CULLING ALLOWED? HOW WILL WEIGHING WORK? WHO ARE THE MARSHALLS?

I WILL ASK THE ORGANISERS OF THE KBBC (KICK BOAT BASS CHALLENGE - www.kickboatclassic.co.cc) IF YOU CAN HAVE PERMISSION TO "ADOPT" THEIR RULES AND REGS.

I LOVE GERMISTON LAKE AT NIGHT, AS DO YOU. GREAT INITIATIVE!

Whistle
GREAT IDEA,BUT ONLY TO BE USED FOR DIRE EMERGENCIES.IF AN OKE WHISTLES FOR FUN HE WILL CHASE THE FISH. NOT NICE! If a wistle is blown for no reason you will be disqualified , agreed?

Life jacket
A BIT DIFFICULT WHEN YOU'RE ON A FLOAT TUBE, BUT IF KIDS ARE FISHING, A MUST! For everyone , Remember we are the organisers , if something goes wrong we are responsible. We will have to sort this out , will arrange with robin to meet up with us one night to test the system , as he has float tubes.

Light
YOU NEED ONE ANYWAY. IT'S LIT UP LIKE CRAZY AT NIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT DAYTIME EITHER OUT THERE. I think it should have a red light function , or atleast be able to flash more than once

ALSO A BIT DIFFICULT IF YOU IN YOUR FLOAT TUBE, I WOULD NOT WANT TO KICK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE LAUNCH JUST FOR ROLECALL OR SOMETHING. EISH I'LL BE TIRED BY 12PM lol ..... Lol , where ever you are you can get out , stretch your legs , have a smoke , steal with your eyes , what the guy next to you is using , jokes on the blue part

MAJOR THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- GET COMPETITORS TO SIGN INDEMNITY FORMS, NO MATTER HOW SOCIAL YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN EVENT : That does not stand in a court of law , i spoke to sean from kick boat classics.
- GET THE WEIGHING SYSTEM "DONE AND DUSTED" BEFORE AN EVENT (HOW MANY FISH TO COUNT? CULLING ALLOWED? HOW WILL WEIGHING WORK? WHO ARE THE MARSHALLS?This still needs work , as we will need a boat or 2 with motors to move around, unless ppl have a "livewell" system that works.We have scales , just not boats. I wonder if sean will be willing to help with this one..... Will ask him

I WILL ASK THE ORGANISERS OF THE KBBC (KICK BOAT BASS CHALLENGE - http://www.kickboatclassic.co.cc) IF YOU CAN HAVE PERMISSION TO "ADOPT" THEIR RULES AND REGS.Lol me and BMC tried calling him tonight , in regards to this , he did not answer.I know his wife just gave birth , so i didn;t really wana desturb him.

I LOVE GERMISTON LAKE AT NIGHT, AS DO YOU. GREAT INITIATIVE : thanx man , I want everyone to love it as much as us , and just have a good time. Best is I will organise for the dam to be ours for the remainder of the weekend , so the guys can camp over , fish from the banks in the day , and from the water @ night @ their own risk , until sunday, ?
