Paddle-Fishing Challenge Series #1 - "If it aint chartreuse, it ain't no use"

Date: Saturday, Sept 29, 2012

When: Sign in starts at 6:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the Publix/Kmart at the north east corner of Manatee Ave W and 75th Street West. Moving it to this location to make use of the lighted parking lot.



Launch can be no earlier then 7:20 a.m.

The deadline to turn in your catch sheets is 2:00 p.m. Don't be late.

Launch Area: The eastern boundary is I-75. The northern boundary is a line that follows the middle of the Manatee River and extends out into the Gulf. There is no WESTERN or southern boundary. Need a map or is that pretty easy to understand?



Format: "If it aint chartreuse, it ain't no use". If the manufacturer's description of the artificial lure color includes the word chartreuse, you can use it. This applies to hard baits, soft baits, jig heads, weedless hooks or whatever you tie onto the end of your line. The lure should be rigged as it comes from the package.

Target: This event will be either most inches of redfish, most inches of trout or most inches in a snook/red/trout slam. The choice will be pulled from a hat after everyone has signed in.

Pic n' Sip: The Pic n' Sip will be held at the Seafood Shack.

In like flin but excuse me because I just got of a long ride on the short bus and am confused. So your jig heads and weedless rigs have to have some kind of chartreuse on them as well as your soft plastics?

[SILVER K]

Yes

[Vercetti]

since you did solicite (and it appears that my membership has yet to be formally revoked)...

Launch Area: The eastern boundary is I-75. The northern boundary is a line that follows the middle of the Manatee River and extends out into the Gulf. There is no eastern or southern boundary. Need a map or is that pretty easy to understand?

The answer is "no" it is not pretty easy to understand. Now, I've been out of the game for a couple of years so I'll counter with another question.

If the eastern boundary is, in fact, I-75; then the rules later state, in the same quote above, that there is no eastern boundery, which are we to believe? If there is no eastern boundary why the squiggy red line? And why is the line not chartreuse, if we do need a line at all?

[Rik]

Ahhhhh, someone caught it. Always put something in there to see if you're paying attention. Spaghetti Man gets the prize. Now the question is whether we will see him and his chartreuse lures on game day.

Western boundary. There is no WESTERN boundary.

The rest of you need to work on your reading comprehension.

If I remember how to tie a fly between now and then, there is a possibility. Can't confirm the colors of any fly previously tied, therefore must start fresh...now where is that silly bobbin?
