Welcome to the return of the NESA Species Hunt. The 2013 Species Hunt begins on the 1st of January and runs for the full twelve months of 2013. The challenge is to catch as many different species of sea fish as possible by rod and line from the shore. No prizes involved just a bit of fun. Download the card below, print it out, write your forum name on it and take it out fishing with you. Photograph each species alongside the card and post it on this thread.

The card can also be used in the Lure Fishing Challenge run by Phillitofish so anyone doing both challenges does not need to take two photographs of each fish.
Species Hunt Rules
1. Catch as many different species of sea fish as possible. Each species type scores one point on the table. Migratory species which spend part of their lives in sea water (salmon, sea trout, eels) are allowed as long as they have been caught in salt water. Fish caught in fresh water are not allowed.
2. Catches must be fish - other creatures with the word "fish" in their name which are not fish are not eligable eg. hagfish, starfish, jellyfish etc
3. All fish must be caught by rod and line from the shore. Any tactics, baits or lures may be used. Fish caught by boat/kayak etc are not eligable.
4. Fish must only be caught by being hooked in the mouth or by the hook being swallowed ("gut hooked"). Fish caught by being foul hooked through other parts of the body are not allowed.
5. Fish can be caught anywhere within the UK. Fish caught outside of the UK are not allowed.
6. The challenge starts at 0.01am January 1st 2013
7. The challenge ends at midnight December 31st 2013.
8. To register a fish post a photograph of it on this thread with the 2013 card beside it in the picture.
Here is the league table....
Good luck!
