Future species comp brainstorming
Hey guys.
The first species comp is drawing to a close. Only a couple of weeks left.
I've been giving a fair bit of thought to the next one. But I wouldn't mind some feedback from those who competed this year. Or those that didn't what would convince you to compete next year.
No subject is off limits. Species list, entry fee, competition runtime, balance of species (does it have to be even fresh/salt?)
Give some feedback over the changes you'd like to see made or those you'd like to see stay.
Last but not least id like to nail down a start and finish date. Do we follow a 6 month comp length? 12 months? Less/more I'm totally easy. I'd happily go with the masses.
12 months (financial year) and 20 species would be interesting to see lol

I reckon for 3 months and choose the most common fish for that season/time.

3 months. November to January for instance. Pick 10 species.

Re: Future species comp brainstorming
I personally think 12 months, so you get a full season/cycle in for each species? I reckon financial year works as most species shut down for the winter, and things like squid/salmon you get a crack at the end and start.
You would also get the full snapper season in then too. I might be biased to salt as 90% of my fishing is done there.

Re: Future species comp brainstorming
I reckon that 12months is too long, 3-6months is ideal. either make it species specific, and schedule it round when that fish is in season, or pick 10. then a different 10 for the next round

Re: Future species comp brainstorming
Alright guys. Hypothetically 3 months and 10 species. At this time of year what would they be?

Re: Future species comp brainstorming
That would mean 4 comps per year. I'm happy with that if you guys are happy with that. Would mean a lot of writing on your brag mats. Haha

I agree, but maybe a smaller entry fee if the comp is going to be running for shorter. $5 maybe.slinga wrote:3 months. November to January for instance. Pick 10 species.
I like the idea of choosing species that are caught around the time of the year of the comp too.
I'd be happy for some of the species from the current comp to make a re-appearance. Salmon, squid, trout ect.ducky wrote:Alright guys. Hypothetically 3 months and 10 species. At this time of year what would they be?
Some interesting new species could be gummies and chinook salmon. Maybe leatherjacket, trevally, garfish, even silver perch or macquarie perch for a challenge.

Re: Future species comp brainstorming
Trout closed season is coming up. You've got the obvious ones currently like squid. Salmon. Jews and flatties. They are all going well at the moment. Winter reds will start going soon too. I've got no idea what goes well in the fresh during winter. I dunno.
A longer comp has the ability to encompass all seasons. But will people lose interest? Maybe so? Maybe no. If it was a 1 year long comp. Big list of fish and a $20 entry. It would make the pot worth $600 if we had the same number of entrants. That buys some nice gear. Whereas 3 months and $5 is $150 to the winner. Good to get but I wouldn't have the same drive to compete lol. Not to mention you truly could be crowned the best fisho on FV by winning such a wide ranging comp
