OK people, the proposed rules of the pinfish section are listed below. The pin fish section will be open from Labour weekend and wil run from Labour Weekend to Labour Weekend. Thats 00.01 on Saturday Morning until 12.00 Friday night 2005. There will also be an international section, which will be announced over the next couple of weeks. This is for people from overseas or for those going up to the Islands.
The species for which pins will be awarded are as follows:- Blue Cod Bluenose Butterfish Crayfish Grandaddy Hapuku Gurnard Hapuka Bass John Dory Kahawai Kingfish Salmon Snapper Tarakihi Trevally Trout Trumpeter
Albacore Tuna Yellowfin Black Marlin Blue Marlin Striped Marlin Shark Tag & Release Marlin Tag & Release Shark Tag and Release Tuna Sincere thanks to Lethal for creating a bunch of awesome pins, which will be posted on the page over the next couple of weeks. Just a note: The pinfish page will be locked up so anyone who want to comment will have to start new threads ... just keeps it a bit more tidy. Rules of the Fishing.Net Forum Pin Fish Section
Submitting Pin Fish Entries. Do not send fish entries by courier. If you wish to send fish in, please ask your wife or girlfriend to pop in with the fish on ice in a chilly bin � and to bring her best cooking apron. Entering fish. Submit your entry to the pin fish section by email to bender ( mailto:[email protected]"> [email protected]) or kerren.Proof of weight Some form of proof will have to be provided, as we all know how enthusiastic fishermen can be. Weights must be accurate to at least one decimal place. Game Fish The same proof offered to game fish clubs for tag and release purposes is acceptable, as are weighmaster�s certificates or photos of the fish hanging at the weigh station. Sport/bottom fish Any official contest weight report/receipt, or photocopy, of official documents are acceptable proof. For private entries the onus of proof is on the weigher and the minimum proof accepted will be as follows:- The fish must be weighed on decent scales and a photo of the fish being weighed with the weight clearly visible, must be submitted with the entry. Remember there are a number of sets of accurate scales out there � such as gas station lpg scales, scales from any retail shop or establishment, which are generally certified. These people will often let you throw a big fish on to weigh. Remember to include a photo of the fish and scale reading. As this is an online pin section, we cannot officially check the weight of the fish. We have to rely on the accuracy of your scales and your own honesty in recording and reporting the weight. Any persons found exaggerating fish weights will be excluded from being part of the pinfish section, and will have to buy several rounds at future forum social events. A cowpat, signifying a tendency to exaggerate, may be attached to your profile in place of any stars. The pinfish holder will have the name and the fish weight recorded in the relevant section of the Trophy cabinet. They will be able to use the relevant fish pin as part of their profile signature on the section. They will be allowed to boast mightily at forum events. Being awarded a pin does not absolve people from buying rounds at forum gatherings. This section will be administered by the pin fish section administrator and the forum admin and their decisions will be final. Any appeals must be accompanied by several large bottles of rum and an invitation to go fishing with the appellant. ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Bender, While I know you are the self confessed greatest Granddaddy Hapuka Killer of all time. should the lkilling of reef fish be encouraged ? or were these put on the list for the benifit of the spero's and not just so you could win a pin ?

long john.... it so happens that I have personally been responsible for the catching of more grandaddy hapuku than any other person on the planet. From real big ones that would have gone 5 or 6kg, down to the smallest, half inch version (on an 8/0 hook). There was one summer up north they were about all I caught. This is a record of which I am very proud. Knock not this fine sport fish. When they open their mouths on the way up, well, they can almost put a bend in your rod. Let it be known, however, that I have never tasted its sweet white flesh. Not like some other heathens on this site.

Grounded - I have always kept them at a respectful distance. Grab the hook with a pair of pliers and roll it out of their mouth. If I killed every GH I'd caught they'd be on the United Nations endangered species list.

If people really want to cheat there is little we can to stop it because we are not likely to eyeball the fish. My feeling is that cheating is a hollow exercise because every time the person looks at the pin with their name they'll know they are pathetic and have small appendages. And there is always the possibility of getting caught and wearing the dreaded..... cow pat
