The Mad Hughesy

Close… was going to be 4 fingers as the unique symbol, but then I remembered, most southsiders can’t count that high.

only the south side participants. who knows what strange viruses they carry. ive actually heard a rumour that covid started on the southside and not in Wuhan

Righto, poll has closed. Comp will start on the 11th. I’ll get to work on the rules and post a new topic shortly

no troubles with the minn kota this time?

you southerners are in for it this year. look out!

well get him to join the forum and sign up for the mighty team north!

hope the southsiders don't forget they flea dip before they come over the bridge. We don't want fleas coming over to the northside

my advice would be to do it really early as that small carpark fills up very quickly

good man!

@Matt83 get on the mighty Northside

thats ok mate. i like how you used the word "unfortunately" live on the south side now. ill forgive you.

im with ya i take it your a team north legend?

cmon last years Team North....get in on it! @Leosonfire @GregOug @benno573 @Breaming with bro @Cobiaaddict

i think at least with a live bait, you know if there are fish around or not. With lures, you questions everything about them (size, colour, hooks, type, retrieve style etc) where as with live bait, the bait takes care of most of those things for you. you tend to not question your abilities as much using live bait...well i do anyway

used and own both of them. if i had to go buy either again, id be going with the shimano. nothing against the daiwa though, its a great reel

Surge wrasse and some type of morwong?

that is a cracking looking campsite. great fishing too

not this year, but you never know for future years...

well there goes 1st, 2nd and 3rd for macks then! i might have to give you a handicap @tuggerto give anyone else a chance

beautiful big eagle. bet it loved that free bass how big to the tandans get just out of curiosity?

legend, ill add you to the team! to answer your question, yes youre basically right. the previous rules and details are here once the dates are confirmed, ill create a new topic for the rules for this years event

im thinking the same

what's everyone's thoughts of including mangrove jacks?

Well well well...just when you thought id missed the comp for this year. Well, i kind of did due to a hell of a lot happening during the year for myself but that's all in the past now. Welcome to the SUBURBS OF ORIGIN 21/22 SUMMER SLAM!! To mix things up, there are a few things changing for this years competition. First of all, its being held over the summer months/Xmas time (proposed 11/12/2021 - 16/01/2022, please vote in the poll). I know it is a very busy time on the water, but its also the only time of the year some people have the opportunity to go fishing. The idea of this is to get as many people involved as possible. Id imagine this time of year would allow most people to fish. Second of all, something that will have a greater impact on the comp (how the scoring is determined), instead of having one winner per category, there will now be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each fish species. Each place will have a corresponding score. 1st (3 points) 2nd (2 points) 3rd (1 point). For either team North or South to win, they will need to have scored the most points overall. Make sense? Also, given this will be held over summer, I've now included a shark category. For this category, only "legal" sharks will be accepted (1.5m or lower). In the off chance that two identical length fish are caught, then all anglers who catch that exact same sized fish species will be awarded the same point. Eg: two people catch a bream that is 35cm which is the joint biggest fish. Both angles will score 1st/ 3 points (of course, this only applies when a Team North and team South anglers catch the same sized fish). So the same team cannot share and double up on points for any given place. Ideally, the measurement should be down to the mm, but that is not always the case as not everyone has a brag mat that goes down to the mm. Like last year, i will be give the winners of each category the opportunity to buy a trophy, as well as all members of the winning team. There will be 3 topics associated with this comp. This one which is a general thread for ideas, general chat about the event, a poll for dates of the comp as well as team lists. A topic to go over all of the rules for the event, and a topic for the updated leader board and entry submissions. Further topics will be created once the dates are confirmed. For those who don't know, the dividing line is the Brisbane river. if you live North of the river, you're team North as well as a legend. If you live in the dregs of the world south of the River, you are a dirty dirty team south member. Let me know and i will add you to the team lists below. As always, this is a free event with the glory of the win being the prize!
