So the end result of
Condello's contest thread gave me an idea.
Here's my idea:
Let's take a rather generic multipurpose lure and start at one of the forum member's pond. After the lure has successfully caught a fish at the pond then that member would mail the lure to another forum member who after catching a fish on his/her pond in turn ships the lure to another forum member. (Hence the traveling lure).
There would have to be rules or guidelines:
1. A photo must be taken of the forum member holding the fish.
2. The lure can only remain in any one place for a given length of time. This should be long enough so that fishing can occur. If however no fish is caught, at the end of the time period (yet to be determined) then the lure must be forwarded. If a person does not catch a fish then they still must post a story about fishing with lure and post a photo of them holding the lure at their pond site.
3. Once a fish is caught the lure is forwarded to the next forum member.
4. We will create a thread about the "Traveling Lure" and the thread will include photos and the fishing stories.
5. If the lure get's lost (which is quite likely to happen given my fishing ability) then we will have to decide what to do.
I'd like any and all ideas feedback. The mailing of the lure could be timed to ensure that forum members would have the lure when they are at their property (to assist absentee owners like myself).
I would think that the lure would have to be durable and multipurpose (I'm open to any and all suggestions).
What do you folks think?
