We can also look at sponsoring a competition at our respective centres..
Can have a competition at FW where we can distribute certificates and honours to the top anglers..
Costing will also be not much and am sure we can put in our own contribution for the cause of the IA.

Thats a great idea Ali Bhai

Thanks for taking the initiative Ali, this sounds like a good plan. Hope to see more IA members jumping in on this thread.

Bops

It certainly is a good idea and i wish i could be in India during the competition.
Me being there or not, all the best guys.

Great Idea Alibhai .... im on ... cmon guys bring it on ........

Its a brilliant idea...

Since we are scattered all across the sub continent, I'd suggest we first do it on a regional scale, where it is easy for all the people in that particular region to attend and then fine tune the formula to do it on a national scale on a lake where no one has fished before: it'll will really test everyones' watercraft that way and the local boys won't go winning all the contsts!!!

Cheers!

Great Idea Ali.... .

H'war is a perfect place for Saltwater team.

hey! if incase the competition really takes place and i am in mumbai at that time, can i take part?? because i am not a member of MSSA at powai....

Anand, good suggestions. I suggest a basic entry fee which could cover cost of prizes, location based license fee etc. Say about Rs 100 per entry, again this depends on the venue selected.

I think a one day event will be a better bet, Sunday being ideal since it would give the organisers some time at the venue on Saturday to prepare for the next day.

Bops

Fab idea partner lets go for it
cheers

Count me in for Delhi.

Cheers Rohit.

Good,
As every one is into it- lets start the proceedings by first nominating co-coordinator and venue for every zone. I propose Santosh and Freddy as co-coordinator for Mumbai, Nasik and Pune Zone. First of all we will do one salt-water competition. Fred, can we do this in Vijay Durg. How many persons can they accommodate in one time? What will be the package. Kindly work this out. Or shall we do it in Harihareshwar as suggested by Santosh. The competition will be organized in October. Request every one to kindly submit their zone team, Nominate co-coordinator and Venue.

The anglers from places where there is no salt water fishing can join the venue of their choice with co-ordination of other salt-water groups.

All Delhi (North) anglers are cordially invited to Join Mumbai group. Kindly send your entry as soon as possible.

The last date of entry into this competition is 07th sep. 08.

Regards,

Ali.

Gavin lets hit POwai for the freshies...

We need more participation here.. common guys.

My suggestion on the schedule is as follow,

The group will leave from Mumbai on the 7thth Evening at 6.00 pm.
4 hr derive and we reach hwar at 10.00 pm.
Rooms on twin sharing basis for 7th & 8th Night will be booked at Hwar and (charges will be 650 to 750 INR per night / room.)
Competition will have 3 session at ganesh galli (rocks behind MTDC resort).
Timings per each session will be:
8th: 6 Am to 10.30 Am & 4.00 Pm to 6.30 Pm (no fishing from the rocks after dark)
9th : 6 Am to 11.00 Am.
Checkout from the hotel will be at 12.30 PM on the 9th.
The competition fee will be at actual, roughly 1500 INR (+- 200 ) and will include accommodation / breakfast/ lunch / dinner/ and bottled water. Any additional expenditure on the group will be equally shared. (Balance money will be refunded)
Transportation: can also hire a mini bus if we all agree.
Participants should wear proper footwear (please get a pair of Bata Dolby costing INR 190)

So far Ali, Rajat, Babloo bhai, Spoon, Fred, Tats, Mr. Arun, Neil, Vishal & myself have confirmed from Mumbai rejoin. ..the rest of gang, please confirm ASAP.

Ali only one rod should be permitted. Winner should be decided on the points given and will depend on the Type of fish, size & numbers; for example;

Barra: 6 pts
Grouper:4 pts
MJ: 2 pts.
Plus
Weight: 1pts / Lb
Numbers: 2pts.

If a barramundi of 10 lb is caught the total points earned will be 6 + 10 + 2= 18. if its two MJ of 5 Lb the total points will be 4 +10 + 4=18.

Sounds OK..??

How about, no trolling allowed or it get's too easy, just pot luck not much skill.
