Ahoy Mates!
The time be here again for another ocean wide fishing competition!
Organized by The City of Trinsic, the competition be open to all anglers across all the seas.
Catch Window : Saturday, 1st Feb. -> Friday, 14th Feb. (14 days)
Weigh-In Event : Saturday 15th February, 9:00pm EST.
Place : Trinsic Docks, Trammel.
The catch window will be from February 1st to February 15th, 2014. Only fish tagged between, and including, these dates will be eligible for entry in their appropriate category.
To submit a fish for judging, all ye need to do is drop it in the mailbox at the Surf Shack on Trinsic south beach, which be here..
Ye can catch a teleport from Goodman's Rune Library in Zento!
Then, at the Weigh-In event on February 15th, we be announcing the winners for all categories and awarding prizes to the lucky anglers. Ye can also turn in any last minute entries by hand at the event. However, please note that fish caught on the day of the Weigh-In will be outside the catch window, and so will not be eligible.
After the prizes have gone out, it'd be our great honor if all hands would join us for some good ol' fashioned cannon cracking aboard the Trinsic naval ships. We'll be taking on two of the sea's greatest beasties...
Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer
Charybdis
NOTE : Vessels captained by experienced sailors will be on hand to ship land lubbers to the battle. The cannons will be open for anyone to use, but ye will need to bring yer own supply of heavy cannonballs, heavy powder charges, and fuse cords.
Anyways, ye probably be wanting to know a little more about the fishing competition, so here be the fiddly bits...
