Hi Mike, we can do anything you like, please feel free to make any suggestions.
Of course without Stephan's incredibly generous sponsorship that he has given us over the previous few years, we don't have much in the way of prizes.
I will offer the first prize for the most amount of species caught, you have the team cup but, apart from that all I can suggest is some pool money shared amongst the 2nd & 3rd placed winners?
Unfortunately Matt Le Clercq cant make it now so we are well down on numbers too!
I have two 'maybes' on the list but it looks like we have only 14 competitors this year.

Eddy, I will post the rules etc in due course but, basically we hold two 6 0r 7 hour competitions over the weekend.
The goal is to catch as many different species from a set list with a set minimum size.
We only allow two fish of the same species per day to be entered & our catch will be consumed by us on the Sunday evening party.
You will need a maker buoy & there are a couple of signatures require on the fishing days
We had a fantastic catch of fish last year including bass, plaice, sole, pollock, mullet and other species from our list.

Competition rules
Specimen hunt
The objective is to catch as many species as possible from a specified list of fish species. There will be two competition days – 30th and 31st July, 2016.
The overall winner will be the diver who catches the most number of individual species over the two days.**

2. We request that no competitor dives the venue in the 48 hours prior to the competition
3. All divers enter the competitions and dive entirely at their own risk. There are no safety boats provided
4. Competitors must use a surface marker buoy and remain within 25m of that marker at all times. Competitors may use a floatation aid such as dive board.
5. Each diver will sign a disclaimer stating that they are aware of the rules and are taking part at entirely their own risk.
6. There will be a limit of three fish of any of the specified species per diver per day.
7. Any diver who has signed on & but not signed out within 30 minutes after the designated weigh in time, will cause the emergency services to be alerted on their behalf. * (with costs to be paid for by the Diver)
