Plastics vs Bait Meet & Greet (Offshore Moreton) Help Needed

[TimD]

Ok guy's, rosco and i reckon its time we made a plastics vs bait meet and greet for the offshore fisho's. There's always plenty of banter on here between plastic guy's and bait guy's so i reckon the event could be good fun. Nothing is set in stone yet as we need ideas on how to get this event organised.


A few ideas i have are -

Fishing to be done from hutchinson shoal area to point lookout
Dead baits and soft plastics only, no knife jigs, trolling or livies

Not sure what categories to run maybe -

Best fish overall on bait or plastics (this will be the grand prize)
Best fish on plastics
Best fish on bait
Ugliest snapper on bait or plastics
Biggest pearly


It would be good to get some prizes for each category, maybe a $10 entry fee per person and all money recieved could go towards prizes. I'm not made of money but i am willing to purchase $100 worth of 7" gulps for the "Best Fish on Plastics Award". My boss at work may sponsor a few cans of plasguard too for all catergory winners. It's a plastic conditioner that keeps perspex boat windscreens in top shape, also good for your front and side clears, and good for cleaning sounder/gps screens plus many other uses. It's not much but i guess the more prizes the better.


Since the fishing is from hutchies to point lookout there wouldn't be any way of making a meeting point so it would just be everyone confirming to me over the UHF that they were out there ready to fish. I could put everyones name in a book and tick everyone off once they confirm there out.



The meeting point at the end of the competition for the weigh in could be somewhere on the inside of moreton, maybe just north of the tangalooma wrecks or something.


Anyway let me know what you guy's think and we can start planning this event if theres enough interest.

Rosco a real test, you should drop a few spanner pots on the way out loaded up with nuclear chooks and see if plastics really work

good luck fellas

Heya tim yea that would be awesome...would there be teams and if so, well i think they should have names for there teams...depending on how many would be keen "Myself" and Team mate would we just be able to fish 1 or the other or can teams use both? (S/Ps or Bait)...

Team names for each boat sounds like a good idea



I guess if each boat just chooses either plastics or bait it would probably make things easier.

Yeh, for no other reason than it's a bit hot out there right now

[Tangles]

TimD,

does that plastic guard protect those plastic nuke chooks from the underwater beasties? as $100 bucks of gulps won't last long

[timddo]

Tim . You can make some jigheads as prizes.

My boat is strictly BAIT. Those latex condoms can stay home.

I only fish with the reel thing
