The marketing team at DB love your forum reports and have come up with a special way to say "Thanks"!

Every fortnight, right through to the end of 2013, the best fishing report will earn the writer a $50 a DB Export beer voucher and 2 DB Export fishing caps.

The winner will be decided by the Fishing.net.nz forum community. If you think a report is a worthy winner, simply click the ‘Thanks’ button at the top of the report (you need to be logged in). 

The report that has been posted in the date range each fortnightly period AND that has the highest number of ‘thanks’ at the end of each period wins the $50 a DB Export beer voucher & 2 caps (total value $100). Make sure you thank the original post in the report topic.

Thanks to DB Export Gold, there’s a chance one or two well-deserved cold ones for a great report so make sure you share your next fishing adventure with the rest of the team on Fishing.net.nz. Reports should be posted here or in any other forum if it's related to a specific type of fishing (Work Up, Freshwater etc)

And don’t forget to say ‘thanks’ when you read a good report!

Good on you db

Hey Macca

Congrads on your win

I guess we learn something everyday.

If you post on your original thread after the start of it then anyone posting after is consigned to the lesser post.
And that's the truth as I did a little experiment - see your last post and you will see my thanks on that is at the end in your last addition -  and not the major one, however the feeling as I posted was real, mine was a novel - yours was a fishing tail and well deserved.

it turned out that I had a problem which was all mine - when I Posted I had no idea (after being away for a time fishing) that there was any contest so my post was actually in Smudges areas being mid Day on the 18th and not the new period!
I guess you live and learn
For those  members who voted thanks for my post - Please believe me when I say I am humbled and indebted to your response, what started as a simple fishing report took on a life of its own, I hope enough for many of you to go down and see for yourselves. Wonderful place that it is.

Macca, Good post mate - did enjoy it, as I said in your thread, hard to beat a Epic/tob'es report.

Enjoy

Cheers DB and all those who thanked my post, 

Grunta, just for clarification, because I am confused. If in the event we ever have a 9 installment novel of a report like moggys again, is it the first post and only the first post that the thanks are taken into account, and not any of the remaining thanks on the next installments? First post of a report, no matter if its 2 or 10, is the one to thank and thats that?

cheers , sorted

Well done Wayno and Boz

Likewise Boz, and thanks for all the votes guys

Latest winner of the fortnightly 'DB Thanks' comp:
25 August to 7 September - Catchelot for his 'Pirate Trip report'

$50 Liquorland voucher and a couple of DB Export caps on their way Allan.

Just remember to give the guys that are putting some serious effort into some great reports your thanks - click that 'thanks' button.

Other recent winners were Ponty for his 'Shallow water snapper' report & Epic for the 'Young fella slays them' report.
