AND THE WINNER'S ARE?
#1
To begin, I would like to thank all anglers for their participation on the Lures and Baits Board. If has grown a lot over the past 6 weeks given all your efforts. <br><br>Yep that's right, only six weeks and in that time it has grown a lot. <br><br>I also look forward to it growing even more, and hearing from many other anglers, over the coming months. This includes those people who drop in often for just a look around as well.<br><br>Feel free to join in as this board is for all anglers and from any global location. <br><br>Here are the results from our competition. Congratulations to these three posters, and to all other anglers who took the time, and interest, to make themselves know to us. <br><br><br>First out of the random draw for the Calstar rod was:<br><br>NINSK - Congratulations!<br><br>Second out of the draw for a Demon Hot Shot Lure was:<br><br>DoOlie11 - - Congratulations!<br><br>and third draw for another Hot Shot Lure was:<br><br>Hara - Congratulations! <br><br>All three anglers need to send me their postal address via e-mail and we'll get those prizes sent out. <br><br>While there were many great posts, here are a couple ( meaning two or more - loose Aussie translation) that I thought were interesting and some of my reasons why. <br><br>"Setting the hook" was a real useful question and one that I am sure many anglers learn to develop a feel for over time. <br><br>"Real Sea Sick" was another given that motion sickness affects many anglers. The discussion on this issue may have helped anglers find some other useful ways to combat the human chum line and all the discomfort and indignity that can come with it. <br><br>"Dale and the Big Muskie" series of posts were also great. A real challenge and well covered by Dale in his quest to finally hook up, and stay with, this big old Muskie. Ofcourse that story is far from over and I look forward to more posts on that fish challenge. <br><br>There were also a number of really useful posts about reel choices and the importance of matching reels with rods, and the fish being targeted. <br><br>If there was a "quiet achiever award" then I think Thor would definately be in the running. He provided many replies, useful ideas, balanced views and options in his comments to a lot of posts and I think that effort is worthy of public recognition. - Congratulations Thor!<br><br>Also feel free to let me, and other anglers, know below what your favourite posts were and why?<br><br>I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of the other board moderators who have played the other major part in the growth of this board. <br><br>A talented, seasoned and passionate group who like me, moderate these boards out simply out of love alone for the sport of fishing. A real team effort and I like that. <br><br>So all up, it has been a great 6 weeks for me as the moderator of this board and I look forward to many more given the caliber, interest, learning taken up, and diversity of anglers that we have seen here over this time. <br><br>Until then, <br><br> <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>

G'day Fishingfun<br><br>Well I suppose that's one way of putting it and the other is that your still a winner because of all the contributions you made. Personally that's how I see it. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>

G'day Anon<br><br>Not sure what you mean in terms of &quot;not fair&quot;. <br><br>Maybe there is a misunderstanding about either the random draw that took place in fairness to all registered posters here, or my reply to FF which is &quot; keep an eye on the board for any future competitions&quot;. That's all. No favouristism, no nothing. <br><br>Let me know which part of this post your refering to (exactly) and I will be happy to reply in more detail if needed. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>

Thanks for the feedback Thor, Hara and Anon. <br><br>One of the colourful things (and challenges) about moderating this board is the views and opinions that many different anglers hold on a whole range of issues. <br><br>Similarly, public competitions like the one we just had can be a lot of fun. At the same time they can also generate a bit of fire in the camp which is not an unhealthy thing either. <br><br>As long as it remains balanced, and does not get personalised, then everyone benefits IMO. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
