The REEL Plasticman!

[WCW Moderator]

Allrighty, We have a sponsor and a lil WCW downtime. Big Hammer has offered up a BUNCH of plastics for the winner.

Big Hammer has offered up a $50 pile of their swimbaits for the overall winner. They are also going to give away a Big Hammer T shirt plus an additional $50 worth of their swimbaits for the person who submits the most subs that were caught on Big Hammer

Swimbaits (please note in your post)

The real "Plasticman" will be decided in 2007. It won't be decided by the biggest YT caught or even how many. It will be more like a scavenger hunt. Here is a list of all the inshore fishes that were listed for last years IRONMAN. The person who catches the most of the fish on the list will be this year's PLASTICMAN. Fish do not have to be in season or of legal size, just snap the picture in the water at boatside, at arms length, on deck, or have someone take the picture, just make sure the plastic is in the mouth. GULP ain't plastic, the plastics with the lead embedded is fine. swimbaits, scampis, grubs all good. No squid trailers, this aint SQUIDMAN. Oh yeah..........all fish must be caught from the kayak!

[steamroll]

Most likely the bass hit the bait on the drop.

[Lit-up1]

I forgot to ask it, but I think Nate is correct, probably picked up on the drop. Sometimes they hit it, drop it then pick it up right away.
So if I get bumbed near the bottom, I just let it free fall right back down.
I have hooked alot in the top I think, but I never thought about it much.
Now that I think about it I bet I hook way more on the drop, or while bouncing it on the bottom than I do the retrieve.

Yes, any living thing not on the list can be counted as your wildcard, you only get one. Last year we had some good ones, a starfish, snails, octopus.

Wavster is that a plastic in the boneys mouth? looks like a plug.

[wavster]

it's made of plastic lol

I don't know what a plug is. It's a Fastrac from SquidCo. My inexperience once again
rears it's ugly head...

[BWE Moderator]

I don't know what a plug is. It's a Fastrac from SquidCo. My inexperience once again
rears it's ugly head...

:doh: :D That would be a plug or crankbait and ineligable. All the soft plastics with a leadhead are eligable as well as the types with the leadhead within the plastic bodies, scampis, grubs, shad type swimbaits.

[wavster]

OK. I guess that one doesn't count.

What I do like about this contest is that it's forcing me to try different colors, depths
and locations so that I can try for different species.

I'm confident any submissions beyond the 3Bs, halibut or YT, I'm going to need help
identifying. I guess that's when I can really expect some ribbing. At least I'm able to
put between 8 & 20 hours on the water per week and will eventually learn.

I've only gaffed 1 fish in my life. That was this year's 23lb YT. Last year I caught a BSB
around 75lbs. I knew what it was right away. Reading these boards really helps. :)

[Handymansd]

Reading these boards really helps. :)


Ditto that! I am a Noob to this as well, listening to these boards, talking with others while on the water, getting in time on the yak, and just a touch of common sense, has gone a long long way to make me a more respectful and knowledgeable fisherman. Thanks to all who contribute to my education!:luxhello:

Another Plasticman Submission

Rockfish, I believe...Can someone tell me what kind? I caught 3 of these this morning.
Each was between 10 and 12 inches.

Rockfish - Black over Pink - 10.75" - La Jolla

[Matt]

Looks like a Red Vermillion to me, unless it has a bunch of white spots also that I can't see.

Matt

[wavster]

Not sure if they're spots. Here's a pict of another, but it looks the same

[Matt]

Possibly copper rockfish or starry.......I can't tell the difference most of the time........nice fish either way

[Handymansd]

The little white spots would make it a starry.;)

[Mo Betta]

Its a Copper
When you see Mike on the "No Slack" thank him for the rockfish Id pics.

[Iceman]

DBite were you in the kayak?

[DBITE]

I was wondering if that was an unwritten rule. No I wasn't.

[BWE Moderator]

DBite, sorry for the confusion, it was an overlooked assumption on my part and never came up in the first years Ironman contest. I have added that into the original rules. Being a kayak fishing website I had just figured it to be implied. Sorry!:doh: :D It would be cool to fish the backside of the surf on small days. I have thought of doing it many times.

[DBITE]

No worries. Sometimes its hard to check those lawyer instincts (if it's not in writing...). I figured it wasn't allowed but thought since I was going perch fishing that day, and since it wasn't in writing, I might as well try to get away with one :) But I bet you can guess which species I'll be targeting next time I'm out...

Has sculpin been added to the list?

[WCW Moderator]

Has sculpin been added to the list?


It has been now.

=Sorry! this was an error on my part. I copied and pasted last years list and somehow it was not on it and nobody noticed it until now. If any other likely species are missing let me know, as the wildcard should be something uncommon.

[DBITE]

Cool, thanks.

[wavster]

Thanks for adding it. I noticed that when I posted and thought it strange if I would have
been given the wildcard entry on that, especially since I've never even seen some of
the others that are listed, let alone caught one. :D

[seaslug]

How about adding the Salema if it is not there.

[JrBasser]

These submissions are for bassboyc. I took the pics and my internet is extremely slow right now, so all I could manage was to get them on moment of fame which i dont know how to use, i've tried uploading certain pics multiple times, to have duplicates posted, but not the pic i want.

i just now saw your old post Andy, as i was going thru all the pages of entries in this thread.

i just haven't had any time at all, to get out & fish this year.

i took a part time, second job last Feb... and it has nightmared my fishing availability all Spring & Summer of 2007. :(

i fished once in early Feb, then not again until Nov.
that's a 9 month AWOL from the yak & fishing.
THAT SUCKS !! :mad:

but i should be able to get back to frequent fishing in 2008. :D

Coming into the home stretch!!!!!! I need to add some species to my list!

Looks like Tattuna is way out front with BH subs and Jr Basser has the highest total subs, less than 2 months to go! Get out there!:D

Andy,

updates look good.

Tattuna & JR Basser wil be tough to catch. ;)

but i've got to get a few more, and move up the ranks somewhat by end of year. :)


FYI note: T-Rex is listed lower in standings than he should be.

OK, I added Holymacs, it would be shark, or ray....not wildcard.

Fixed T rex's standings as well. Let me know if I missed anything else.
