Hi everyone,
Jon at Colman's Fishing Supply has kindly donated 30 squid jigs, 8 sabiki rigs, and some packets of squid hooks to Squidfish. I intend to make these jigs/hooks/rigs available to members who participate in upcoming competitions on the squidfish site.
Rather than just giving out the jigs randomly, I thought I would give the jigs to those members who make valued contributions to the squidfish site. In this way, everyone benefits!
Now I am still throwing some ideas around for the first competition. One thought that sprang to mind was to ask members to provide specific information on a particular topic. For example, I could ask members to identify 5 manufacturers of squid fishing tackle that are not yet mentioned on squidfish. If you provide the information, then you get jigs! (not sure how many each prize winner will receive..perhaps 1 or 2 jigs?)! Another question might be to identify 10 well known squid fishing spots in your state/country that are not yet mentioned on the squidfish site. These are just some ideas!
I am open to suggestions on how to best run the competitions. I have a limited number of jigs so I can't make the questions too easy otherwise I will run out of jigs very quickly! I would hate to be in a position where I have more winners that jigs!
I would appreciate your thoughts before the competitions commence.
I will take photos of the jigs/rigs so that people can see what will be available as prizes.
Cheers, Glen!!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
