types of competition

Hi all

Just wondering what people thought of the idea of a competition where only lure fishing was allowed, i.e. spinning or fly fishing. Not a serious competition, maybe a friendly open later in the year. Clearly it would be based on or around a series of rock marks but I thought it might be interesting to let people rove over a given area and see what happens...

What are your thoughts....

Yes-
Have it as a lure competition-both fly and spinners..

sounds like a good idea. a lot of fun too if the weathers good!

Sounds a great idea - I'll do my best to be there!

Ps That spell check works well underneath this box - is that new?

Definitely up for that !!

Sounds like a great idea. Never tried the fly in saltwater but would love to give it a lash.

Super idea mate. I'm looking forward to that one already.

Hi

Okay - some clear interest, was thinking of a pairs roving competition, one measuring tape between two people, points per species and centimetre, lifejackets must be worn by competitors (!), anything else we might consider?

In terms of venues there are plenty of rock marks we could look at, but I was thinking of the boulder causeway north of streedagh in Sligo as one option. If you are willing to go the extra two hours, I have some marks in Achill and now thanks to Sean Lavelle spectacular ones on Belmullet...

Kieran,
this is a definite for me ! Sounds class. I've never heard of lure fishing comp before, and think it's a great idea.

Sligo is closest for me, but for better fishing, with enough notice I'm game for anywhere.

Kieran,
Agree with Hot Rocks, sounds like a fun day, be up for that.
