NEFGA Catch & Continue Contest, Sponsored by Cabela’s - POST ENTRIES HERE - Page 3

Fish Recycler · 07-01-2008, 11:00 AM

I am only in town 1 day the week of July 14 so that one will be tough, but the price of entry is right, so might as well play, right?

fishinwithdad · 07-01-2008, 01:27 PM

Aw, what the heck... another excuse to go fishing? Sign me up! Maybe the youngun's will make a splash while we're at it.

**Chad** · 07-01-2008, 02:13 PM

I'm going to make this thread a sticky soon, so be sure to look for it at the top of the page...

how do you get our enlist in this competition?

jetdriver1 · 07-02-2008, 01:03 AM

Wowser's Chad and OBG, thanks for all that info

. In preparation for this contest, I am reading and studying my buttocks off on all these other species

!
Today I thought I had a great game plan to go after crappies, bluegills and catfish at a nearby pond (Of course before I read your sage advice tonight). Armed with 3 doz minnows, stinky stuff in a tube, and 2 doz leaches (Sheesh, first time going mano-a-mano with a leach

--would have made quite an entertaining You Tube video)--plus a couple crappie and lindy rigs--I figured I had a shot. Weeeellllllllllllllllllll reality always trumps theory

, doesn't it?. All I caught was LM Bass! Lots of em! Mostly 9"-13". Never saw a trace of any other species although, the pond is known for them.

.
I am not complaining---had tons of fun. It was just perplexing not finding a crappie, bluegill or cat at the end of the line after the fight. My learning curve is still quite near vertical

.

Even got some youngsters fishing with sticks, line, hooks and some Berkley finesse worms I had in my kit. Now, some may say me helping kids fish is like the blind leading the blind

---and I agree. But we had fun, and they asked when I would be back

.

Thanks and Cheers

Jet

question: Lets say I got out saturday and catch a 9 inch bluegill, and post it. Then I go out Tuesday, and catch a 10" bluegill, can I use the 10" bluegill instead even after I already posted the smaller one?

Yes, culling is permitted all week long with no limit. Just make sure to delete your previous post/fish/entry.

Also, all you have to do to enter the contest is post a qualifying picture, with control item, onto this thread. You don't need to pre-announce before the contest starts.

Just catch a fish the first week, take the two required pictures and post them to this thread. As soon as you post up your entry, you're "enrolled."

justfish1184 · 07-02-2008, 10:38 PM

I didn't see any rules/regs saying that you had to be a resident of Nebraska. Is there such thing?

I live in Denver but spend most of my fishing time and all of my hunting time back home in Nebraska.

Do I still get to participate??

No, you don't have to be a resident of Nebraska. You just have to fish Nebraska waters.

Those fishing private waters might not like that.

Fish Recycler · 07-03-2008, 10:32 AM

WOW! I want that rod rack! I want that $100 gift card! I want all that stuff! Great prizes, Cabelas - this is going to be fun.

Just printed my control item. My wife and I are doing a 2-day float trip this weekend...in Iowa. I guess it's not too late to reconsider and point ourselves to a Nebraska river, but with a 3-day weekend and only 2 days out of state, I hope I can round up something in Nebraska before the weekend is gone.
