F.O.M./F.O.Y. discussion thread for 2011

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I think this mini comp is a good incentive for people to get in the water over winter who may otherwise not. Also its great motivation to read about fish being caught when its dark and dreary outside... I think FOM should be 12 months a year.
 
Speccie hunt suggestion:

Here's a suggestion for something a little different for next year; how about usng the FOM as the FOM, but also for a year long speccie hunt, based on the individuals entries over the year?

It would encourage people to go out and catch a variety of different fish, it would encourage more people to enter the FOM each month, and there would be a bit of fun at the end of the year to see how people fare. I'm sure the technicalities can be worked out...

What do you all think? [nothing wrong with how it now though, no criticism intended :) ]
 
Scott I love your avatar!!! and yes keep the FOM open all year, I have a feeling the season will keep going for a while yet!! (Soooooooooo many bait fish still about) and yes to the best specimens over the season, might as well just give that prize direct to Nick Shinny-Guy ;) ;) ;)
