Fall Surf Shark Contest - 2022

[Latimeria]

Congrats to Donovan for winning the Summer contest, but now we have a fall contest on our hands.

This contest will be a little more specific, but operate very similar to past contests on everyone will vote for the winner.  The summer contest was a bit of a shuffle as no one was really contributing from shore except a few people, so it was opened up to all types of fishing.  This Fall Contest will have no exceptions as the fish will need to be caught from the shore.


Fall Rod Give-A-Way!

Thanks again to JRodda for the fresh Daiwa rod donations, so we're having a fall time surf fishing Contest.  I'm going to keep rules simple.
Fish Must be caught from Terra Firma in the surf or from the shores of the bay...  For this contest, boats, kayaks, piers, jetties, canoes, boards, or rubber rafts don't count.

Rules are simple.  Catch and post your catch on the Prehistoric Soul Forum! 

Take a fresh clean picture as the size may or may not matter since on the first day of winter, the top pictures will be put on a poll for your peers to vote on.  The top winner on the polls will receive a Daiwa Emblem Conventional Surf Rod

Shipping is NOT included, so if you win and need it to be shipped, we can figure out the options.

This Contest is primarily open to SoCal residents, but even "out of state" members are also eligible.  You will just need to consider the cost of shipping if applicable.

The contest starts today and remember that the biggest fish might not be the winner.  It may be the most spectacular catch or possibly the best photo.  Everyone who is a member or contributor on the Prehistoric Soul Website will be eligible.  The only person that can't win this rod is me.  Hahahaha

Good luck everyone and let's see your catch!

I am stocking great whites in the local lake.

Anyone know where I can get 50 tons of salt?

Can't you just dig a mine in your back yard out there? Isn't that why you moved there KogaHardHat?

Just for clarification, do deployed baits count as being caught from the beach? All the sharks are fought from and landed on the beach but I'm paddling out most of my baits nowadays. Does that disqualify me?

The spirit of contest was for casted baits, but I see it isn't super clear after reading it again.  I will clear it up for the next contest for sure.   

Beautiful soupie you just caught BTW!
