2017 Surf Casting Shark Tourney
« on: June 26, 2017, 07:48:42 AM »
This is a "Winner Take All" competition.  I just received a Rainshadow SUR1569 Batson Long Rod kit which is not even offered by them anymore.  Skrilla (Len) has even been kind enough to custom wrap it to make it a one of kind surf shark stick.  This contest will be running in conjunction with the summer contest so if your shark is caught by surf casting a bait out, it will go on both lists.  Bill Batson offered this surf casting prize up and let's not disappoint!  Everyone who is a posting member of the P-Soul forum is eligible for the grand prize.

Rules and Regulations

Prizes:

1st Place:  Rainshadow SUR1569 rod blank, X-Weave Handle Wrap,  Custom Butt, Alps Aluminum Reel Seat Guides and Tip-Top.  All custom wrapped by Rod smith- Len Alfuente (Skrilla).

2nd Place: 3/4 day fishing trip aboard the Liberty out of San Diego!

3rd Place: Gift Certificate for free reel repair at CJ's Reel & Rig

Duration:  (Today) June 26th, 2017 through December 31st, 2017. 

Species:  All shark species count, but must be caught from the surf!  Hound Shark, Dogfish, Horn Shark, Leopard Shark, Angel Shark, Soupfin Shark, Sevengill, Swell Shark, Thresher, Hammerhead, Mako and even Pacific Nurse shark are just some of the species that will be counted.  Any Shark species count (No Rays including guitarfish)

Winning Measurements:  Total Length from tip of nose to tip of tail.  (Someone needs to be a sand hand for verification or a picture needs to be available with a measuring device to count)

Rules:  This one will be the old fashioned way and surf casting from the beach only.... No Bay Fishing.

Only "Posting" P-Soul members are eligible.  All fishing contests are competitions in which all members including moderators are eligible.   
C-P-R ONLY!!!



(As many times questions will come up and I'll correct or add as needed.  I also will consult the forum lawyer if things get too hairy so let's keep this simple)
Good Luck!!!!!

You don't think your 69" soupie is going to go wire to wire Mike? It might, thing's are only going to get tougher as the water warms up....

Oh, I see, Tom has your shark as a 69" soupie in this contest and a 69" sevengill in the other contest. They're the same 69" shark though, right?

Lol! I'm just trying to put some distance between Dave and I for the leader board and eventually catch you and Steve. I'd love that Batosn rod, but 69" soup isn't gonna cut it.

Well, thanks to Pinoyfisher, we secured another prize for the 2nd Place contestant!
It is a 3/4 day trip aboard the Liberty!

This is a hell of a contest with the winner getting a new custom built Rainshadow Surf Rod and 2nd place getting a 3/4 day trip on the Liberty!  Get out there and get some sharks on the beach!

Now that the Del Mar fair is over and when there is good surf and tides I'll be on the sand again.
