Tarlach. Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 So the juniors comp. How many days can you fish? Is it 8 hours in one day, or can you fish 2 consecutive days for 12 hours. Or all week non stop?? It's very vague, and doesn't seem fair. Sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 No need to be sorry but It does state more info nearer the time so maybe some patience needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you want to drum up participants then the info needs to be released sooner rather than later. People have busy lives and weekends in the summer need booking in advance, well at least they do in my house! My wife's already looking into 2024.

jerry.shutter Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hi Neil, Sorry about the confusion. The July Competition for Juniors is as per adults throughout 2023. You can fish as and when you want, and the skipper will send catch reports to the forum. I hope this explains things better. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just a bit of fun, but if individuals can only fish on one particular day because of other life commitments (say when maybe the tide is not great etc) and the others can pick and choose then how can that be fair? It'll put people off not encourage. Just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk May be the word competition is the problem, we are trying to encourage juniors, have more take part and reward and recognise good fishing and catches. We have seen a significant drop off in numbers, some of that is juniors passing on into seniors within our group of members. Finding different interests, some have gone on to fish for England, we are trying to find some replacements. Our first goal is to see some participant numbers show an interest, we can always refine details as interest grows, that's my individual thoughts.

I get that you are trying to promote juniors to join and have fun, I fully support that Mal because without a next generation, there will be no club! But on the flip side, kids enjoy competition. And (imho) an open month isn't competition, they all need to go out of port on the same day and return at the same time! Anyway, that's enough from me!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mal Thomas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
