Miami Spearin' Contest

[CBeast-->]

Steel, I also agree with the paired fishing and lone weigh-in........common sense dictates this simply because a team can't split a wetsuit, mask, or whatever if they win........I'd say entrance fee should be no more than $30.....anymore and you'd probably be risking a low turnout.....$30 to enter, plus gas, then gas for the vehicle hauling the vessel.......tends to add up......I'd say best time is mid-June......


Side note------what would you quote on a 130 custom? I recall the price u mentioned when last we spoke, but I'm looking for a simple design.....if it's negotiable shoot me a call brother......

Mid-June sounds way out there....by then I am hoping to start the "real competition" this is gonna be a kinda fun thingy for you girls, er, ummm, uhhh I mean spearosrofl...no prizes Beast....KISS....cool hard cash...pot luck full of Benji's....so $25 is good then, weigh in gutted, 2 man team, weigh in solo....boundary N & S from Bear Cut (want to give Mahi...a.k.a. Cuchillo a fair chance:t) to Haulover, E & W endless bay to endless blue.

Where do we meet for the Cappy meetin', where do we weigh in, can you guys get some volunteers, I can supply one fish fryer...what are we gonna need- scale, tarp,...dang this is sounding mom&pop'ish but its all good will help with the Big Enchilada....I got answers and sugg. but I'd like to hear you guys input...bring it!

gj on the whole cash thing that's the best way to do things! I don't want a damn wetsuit or an AB Biller for that matter. Money is what most spearos would want I guess in my opinion that way they can get w.e they truly desire.

Steel deja la pendejeria! que I don't even touch my fish till I get back to the house & finish cleaning all my stuff that includes equipment & boat!

lol I am going to have to keep all my mondongos to save for chum!

As far as the whole capt meeting, the best place to meet would be! ..... Either CoConut Grove Marina IDK if there is enough space there to do weigh ins perhaps to the side. For the sole reason that it's some what in the center of things.

I know if you do Black Point, or Matheson Hammock Park spots would be allot further away for those who fish up north but, you have elliot key near by so there are + & - to all locations of course.

Chumming immediately after gunning...is my motto...plus it keeps your catch fresh...Hit me back with some suggestions on what I've been posting for a few weeks guys...this contest is getting to be about as painful as slipping a kidney stone...giddy up:crutch

Hahah you guys aren't guna let me live that down huh lol!! I'll have you know Im still guna be ninjad out :martial

What about meeting at the old Sundays Marina on KB?? Its kinda a mid point or we can meet at Jimbo's, I'll talk to Jamaican Paul about it lol

 

[FREEK]

:t

Good $h*t except for the whole Best boat thing, we spearos don't really take that into consideration! ask steel what he goes out in!



def of a Spearo: will leave out on anything just to shoot some fish! :t



saying that imagine how many people out there would make it in w.e they have! + it's unfair to give some one 1 a price because they have a kick ass boat that just means .. many things.....

On another note, I like the whole boundaries thing in relations to time and place & where tourney would be limited too.


WHOA!!!! What I meant was the boat/team that does the best...I wish I had a thirty something with triples..Shiet..my boats a '79rofl!!!!!!!
BBQ/fish fry...misma mierda:t....$25 sounds good...7am start back by 3pm?? Early weigh in, enough time to meet everybody, BBQ/fishfry,smack talk...and keeps boundries close.

the meet at the Sunday Marina sounds like a purdy got idea...just that getting inyo KB and lauching from same puts you at $20 without yet touching the water...Funny you mention Jimbo's I thought having the meet at Virginia Key last "kioskito- the one with the pine trees) would be sweet since boats are allowed to pull right up to the shore...and the place has a great vibe to it, only problem is it closes at sunset...but

$25 sounds good...7am start back by 3pm?? Early weigh in, enough time to meet everybody, BBQ/fishfry,smack talk...and keeps boundries close.

if we do a 3pm back time (cuttin' it a bit short IMO) its do-able...Si, No, I nono?

 

[Rinaldo]

If you wanted to track everyone, require everyone use a handheld gps system and leave it on all day so that prior to weigh in they must show their tracked trip report and be cleared to be weighed in. This should eliminate 99% of the drama and doubt.
Just an idea.

Yeah the boundaries can be tough...would a good faith system work...not...we definitely could use some volunteers, howz tracking systemsrofl, really the best way would be to have an "On Board Person" monitoring...yep we needz some voluntarios...I could surely get a few people to aid in this, but don't know how many.

Point system is simple Mahi...just review it...this is what each fish is worth
Trigger 1
Hog 1
Blue Runner 1
Mango 2
Lane/School 2
Sheep 2
AJ greater/lesser 3
Cuda 3
Margate 3,
Goat 4
Spanish Mackeral 4
Yellow Jack 5
Dolphin 5
King 6
Cero 6
Cobia 7
Porgy 8
Mojarra 8
Wahoo 9
Gag/Black 9
Mutton 9

Hiya Rinaldo...thats a great idea and one we'll surely implement, anything to control/eliminate the D&D is good with me.

So this is what we have "The Miami Money Bag Shootout" a 1 shot deal and a preliminary to "The Miami Spearing Shootout".

"The Miami Money Bag Shootout" will have 3 places and although its one competition I'd like to repeat it every year (at least thats the idea) same time, same place, same dates same rules and always as the warmup, the pown, the fluffer to "The Miami Spearing Shootout". You win by pounds and points, we have a set boundary (its looking like it will be N-S Haulover-BearCut & E-W Bay to Ocean no limits other than the N-S boundaries), its a one time event with prize $$$. The only difference b/t "The Miami Money Bag Shootout" and "The Miami Spearing Shootout". Is "The Miami Money Bag Shootout" has less of a payout, its 1 event, and 3 opportunities to place, while "Miami Spearing Shootout" will have aside from 3 opportunities to place it'll have Most total Pounds of Fish and Biggest Fish(s) awards too.

"The Miami Spearing Shootout" this is the contest that the "The Miami Money Bag Shootout" builds up to...I'd like to have it as a 6 meet contest either 1x/month everyother month, 1x/month 6 months consecutively, so as to stay inline with our original objective

objective really is to get a few Florida guys together share some laughs, tips, competitiveness, and comradship.

nonetheless open to any suggestions. This contest is exactly like the one above other than those mentioned above.

OK enough said...I'm gonna keep it rolling till Wed. of this coming week any input ideas NOWS the time to VOICE them, by Friday the latest I'll have a draft written in stone and by Monday of that following week "The Miami Money Bag Shootout" will be officiallicio. Anyone that has some Graphic/Computer skills PM so we can get a Flyer/EBulletin ready to gun.

i would love to participate in a tourney around here and get a chance to meet other spearos. How bout extend the boundaries south some, a lot of miami spearos live south and launch out of blackpoint/matheson which means areas off bear cut even are still pretty far north.

I've had a couple of guys mention it, but truth be said the Cappy's meeting is gonna be in Miami either MiamiBch Vicinity or Key Biscayne also quite a few guys from Ft Lauderdale are thinking of participating...so Miami would be an ideal midway point.

Glad to see you on SF101:friday

I'd like to have boundries extended south as well. I live in Homestead
and dont ever spear north of Fowey. IMO... the whole boundries thing is to prevent someone from running to the Bahamas...:naughty
