This year the OMD FOM trophy will be a beautifully shaped wooden ray [as shown below], with the name of the winner engraved. These are hand-made by our very own spearo MIRROR [send him some rep!], with the kind help of venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk.





This years Fish of the MONTH competitions are generously sponsored by Apnea Jersey Spearfishing shop [A £25 voucher is offered to the winner each month!!!].





And this years Fish of the YEAR competition is sponsored by venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk with a prize of a site voucher/credit for a fantastic £175.





Furthermore, for those who are really keen, we will run a fun speccie hunt competition [no prizes for this one]; just enter the fom as usual, and your fish will be entered into the speccie hunt comp at the end of the year, more details below...

Small-eyed ray - 1lb 8oz

Sole - 2lb 1oz

Without being a pain, the scad and ray aren't on the list of "target" species that can be entered into the specie comp. the list is at the top of this page just under the rules. Sorry to point this out. Well done on the fish tho mate
