RALPH DE KOCK: PROUD TO BE A STREET FISHER Streetfishing rules
n Streetfishing is CPR (Catch Photo Release) and every fish caught must be handled with care.
n You must fish with artificial lures only and flyfishing is not allowed.
n Competitors will be coupled randomly
but each competitor fishes for himself. A scorecard for each competitor is held by the other competitor.
n You may have two rods, but you may not fish them both at the same time and you must not fish two or more lures at one rod.
n Couples need to be together during the time of fishing and must keep an appropri- ate distance between eachother.
n Always contact a referee if there are any disputes or problems (phone number is on the scorecards).
n The length of the fish in cm (if bigger than the legal size) and that is the number of points the fisherman will get. If the length of the fish is smaller than the legal size it’s worth 5 points.
There is a quotum of 15 perch There is a quotum of 10 zander There is a quotum of 10 asp
There is a quotum of 5 pieces of other fish caught
n There is NO quotum for pike. If the number of fish with a quotum (zander and perch) is more than the quotumnumber then the fish caught above the quotum is 1 point per fish (also if its more than the legal size) Example: 20 perch of 25 cm are caught. Total points (15 x 25) + (5 x 1) = 380 points. The competitor who has most points wins the event.
n All legal size fish need to be photo- graphed with the fisherman and his scorecard. Legal length: Perch 22cm; zander 42 cm; pike 45 cm; asp 0 cm; ide 30 cm; ruffe 0 cm; trout 25 cm; catfish 0 cm; seatrout 40 cm. Fish that fall on the ground is 0 points.
n Fish must be alive when they are re- leased.
n The score of a undersize fish can be writ- ten on the scorecard by the other competi- tor of the couple. The score of a legal size fish needs to be written on the scorecard by a referee.
n No alcohol and/or drugs n It’s not allowed to fish during lunch. n It’s not allowed to walk on boats n Respect the property of others n Do not fish outside the marked track
Mark Lubberts: Street fishing champ, fast, funky, urban, relevant and with tons of street cred: awesome! URBAN LEGENDS
becoming an important stepping stone for predator boat fishing in general. An event like the World Predator Classic
Street Fishing Open 2015 is growing in size with more competitors than last year. In 2014 there were about 80 competitors, this year we will easily exceed the 130, even so, registration is still possible, so don’t miss out!
Last year, it was difficult to find and catch
the fish. Probably because of the weather. Wind from North and a temperature of 25 degrees are not good ingredients to make the fish active in Hellevoetsluis. Nevertheless, the street fishers that were focused and concentrated until the last second were rewarded with some nice zander and pike. This year I expect to see some
competitors fishing with completely different tactics. Tactics for a big event like this are very important. The winner of the World Predator Classic
Street Fishing Open 2015 will definitely have planned tactics and stuck to them during the event. You need to study the venue in advance and imagine the mindset of other competitors and the predatory fish. Believe in yourself, your skills and tackle
and you’ll get your reward. I know because I have been rewarded several times myself. I wish all of you a successful event with a
lot of fish and good fishing weather. I’m proud to be a street fisher! n
