Can I clear some thing up please in case it becomes an issue? Night diving season's started and I was wondering if fish taken at night qualify for FOM.
I know many regard night diving only as food gathering and I personally wouldn't shoot a bass at night - I don't need to, though I wouln't criticise anyone who chooses to.
So what does anyone think about the FOM competition? Is it better to limit it to daytime fish? Do we need a poll?

Some people might do that too but if I did it I would know. That's what counts really. After all, we've only got each others word that fish entered really weighed what we said they did but how could we have any pride in an "FOM" if we know we lied to get it.
I'm sure we talked about this before and even if it wasn't on line I know Foxfish considered this when he proposed the FOM. It was agreed that night diving catches were okay. If people don't like it then they don't need to vote for those catches. The beauty of the FOM is that it's by popular vote.

Paddy, great fish. However, wrong place - click on the link July FOM at bottom of this post.
Now the bad news. As I understand the rules well rule 1. anyway, you have not been a member long enough to qualify for this months FOM as you only joined DB this month.
Follow the link and read the rules in Glowworms first post and see if I got this right.
Great fish and great catch.
Dave.

Just realised there were no fish in July FOM and I've eaten my mullet 
I didn't take a pic with the paper (I don't buy papers).
Is it really necessary to use a paper? I mean I am 100% sure I could photoshop the paper into the image (I got some puter skillz ) but I am 100% certain I can not change the EXIF data which would seem to me to be a more certain way to determine the date (and time) of the catch?

Enter it anyway BobD...
Actually i'm pretty sure you can edit the EXIF information quite easily using e.g. EXIFER (out of date now) or another program. I think its more of a fun/trust thing (isnt it?).
I dont think the rules require a paper, just a date, e.g. computer screen.

hi Bobdonny.
Cant photoshop a paper in mate sorry
As per rule No. 2
2. All entries to be accompanied by a photo. The photo must contain an item (e.g. a local newspaper) dated on the date of the catch.
The FOM does work on trust and we trust that the pictures posted have not been manipulated with photoshop or fiddled with ( other than colour correction or deleting number plates etc...)
Any problems please dont hesitate to contact me
