UL Spinning Competition, Kinneret

Just two pictures....

UL Plugging competition at Kineret

So this time we already knew the place, the beach next to Tiberias is pretty free of people on the weekends, because of huge rocks by the water, and the place is very easy to find.

Friday evening all organization group started to arrive, as usual hoping to catch a couple of hours of sleep. And so in the morning everyone is here, registration and start at 6:00.

People got spread at 2 km of the allowed space, referees running up and down.

We already see that some guys are working on small fish, because every tail is a point or every 100gr is a point.

Though some others trying to go for something larger.

4 hours of fishing and its starting to become real hot when we hear the final serene at 10:00.

The winner a guy was fishing with fly caught around 120 tails.

Galilee Carp 2009

This year again "Israfish" club organizes carpfishing competition, and I'm there again to take some pictures.



It was very successfull this year, no team stayed without fish at all. And the fight for winning places was really close up to the last hours. Carpfishing here is getting stronger every year and I think some of our local teams could already participate in an International event.

Freshwater Lure Fishing Competition

This year I said that I'll take on myself the arrengement of the competition, the rules stayed the same, we found a long piece of coast with huge rocks all over the place, should be the best place for tilapia.
about 3 or 4 meters from the shore the bottom drops to about 3 meters.
We went to check if there's fish some two weeks before the competition. Some good barbel was taking big gold Kastmasters 7 and 10 grams. Tilapia was actively taking the topwater Towadi.
On the competition day we were already there and the people started to arrive at about 5:00 in the morning. After registration and small briefing everyone spread all along the coastline.
The referees were lucky not to break thier legs trying to run all along the coastline, watching that everything goes right.
The left side was working well and people were taking fish after fish, but in the middle and left guys stuggled for every single tail.
In the middle the leaders were already far enough to compete between themselves, not caring about the oters left behind.
Finally the last ring and everyone meets the referees at the center, final weighting the fish and it took some half an hour to count all the results.
Finaly the first place took over 50 tails.
This was uor second time and it went pretty well, will everyone enjoyed.
Will try and make it even better next year.
