FFF Seadogs 2017 - Register Here
Note - there may be changes to the rules up until the Feb 1 start.
FFF SEADOGS 2017 - open to fishos in all the barramundi states
This is an online brag mat fishing competition, free to amateur fishos who display a FFF sticker on the outside of their car or boat, or on a console or seat high enough to be seen outside the boat, for the duration of the comp. The FFF stickers are sold cheaply at Craig's Fishing Warehouse in Darwin, or order at http://www.fishfinderbooks.com/index.php?cPath=28 ... without a sticker the entry fee is $30, email [email protected] for payment details.
Fishos must register their boat or vehicle on this thread by posting a pic of their boat or vehicle with its FFF sticker attached. Fishos can enter at any time throughout the comp but may not enter fish in earlier rounds.
The comp is judged on pictures of fish on brag mats. Each centimetre of fish is awarded a point. Unlimited entries are allowed but only each competitor's biggest fish from each month is eligible for points. Entrants will need a branded brag mat (no home-made ones allowed), a camera and a newspaper from the month of each round.
Pictures of fish must be taken on the brag mat with the newspaper in view. The newspaper or anything else must not cover the fish.
There must also be a photo of the fish being held by the captor on location near where it is caught.
Dam-caught barramundi (stocked impoundment barra) are only eligible in Rounds 7 and 8.
***
Winners ...
***There is an end-of-year grand champion, decided on the best fish from six rounds
***There are various end-of-year runner-up champions, decided on the best fish from six rounds
The first round kicks off February 1. The final round ends December 20.
Round 1, Feb - The Run-off, Barra
Round 2, Mar - The Run-off, Barra
Round 3, Apr - The Greenwater, Barra
Round 4, May - Jewfish Busters + Barra (jewfish have a -10cm handicap)
Round 5, June - Tuna and Queenfish + Barra
Round 6, July - Mackerel Maulers + Barra (mackerel have a -10cm handicap)
Round 7, Aug - Billabong, Dam & Salty Barra
Round 8, Sep - Billabong, Dam & Salty Barra
Round 9, Oct - Salmon and Barra
Round 10, Nov - Salmon and Barra
Round 11, Dec - Salmon and Barra
There are 10cm bonus points for landbased fish in 2017, but the location picture must clearly show the place of capture.
Deckie's fish may be entered by the owner of the registered boat (skipper) as long as they are caught in the registered boat, and the boat is recognisable in the photo. Skippers who have registered their boat in the comp may fish as a deckie on another registered Seadogs boat and claim their fish as their own entry, as long as both parties are in agreement. Otherwise, the skipper of the registered boat on the water on the day claims any fish caught.
All fish to be measured from lip to centre of tail (eg inside fork or outer curve). Fish may have mouths open or closed on the brag mat, the aim being to get the fish measured and photographed as fast as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each entry must include a short description about the capture. Photos must depict live or freshly-caught fish, no necked or obviously dead fish. As there are no stewards on the water to enforce/check that rules are followed, the organiser reserves the right to disallow any entry for any reason, and disqualify any entrant for any reason. The judge's decision on all matters will be final.
Fish caught while competing in other competitions are not eligible. Professional fishing guides may not enter the comp.
In the event of a draw the FFF judge will decide a winner, based on the quality of the photos in the entries.
There is no size limit on fish, but please photograph undersize fish quickly for a fast release.
By entering, entrants agree to be solely responsible for their own safety, knowledge of the waterways, and to ensure their boats are in good working order. Entrants agree to not hold the organiser liable in any way.
By posting your first fish up (an entry) you agree to be bound by the rules.
***Misinformation supplied in an entry about location or capture method results in disqualification***

Good luck to all those entering, unfortunately I'm out this year.
