What is the Stinger Challenge?

The Stinger Challenge is a fishing event with everyone on the same playing field. Everyone receives the EXACT SAME lure package at a discounted price! Everyone is limited to having no more than 6 lines in the water at one time. This gives the person with 2 people in the boat the same chance as someone with 4 people in the boat. The lures in your lure package are the only lures you are allowed to use. If you loose one or all of your baits, you are not allowed to replace it/them with another lure from your box.


What does is cost to fish in the event?

There are two costs associated with this event. One is the entry fee for the event($15.00($5.00 go's to big fish pot)), and the other is the cost of your lure package($36.00). The total costs is $51.00.


What does the lure package consist of, and how much does it cost?

The lure package will consist of:

2 Stinger Spoons(Standard Size)
4 Stingray Spoons
2 Magnum Spoons
1 Sidekick
1 Slasher
2 Flies

The cost for your lure package is $36.00, and must be prepaid by 11 July.


What color are the baits in the lure package?

You will not know the colors of your lures until the morning of the event. This is another elements of the challenge. No one knows what colors they are getting.


Can I just pay for the discounted lure package and not fish in the event?

Absolutely not!

If you do not show up for the event, your lure package will be DONATED as a prize at the event, and your money WILL NOT be refunded. In the event you sign up for the challenge and can not make it, you may try to find someone to fish in your place.


When will I get my lure package?

I will have everyones lure package in a bag at the boat ramp, the morning of the event. When the entry fee for the event is paid, you will get your lure package.

You will not find a more even playing field. The person with a 16' boat will have the same chance as someone with a 24' boat.

It is a great opportunity to run a Stinger bait at a discounted price.

Rule Change - You are only allowed to have a 2 person limit in your boat.

This keeps the playing field even. A 2 person team has the same chance as a 4 person team.

I need to clarify one thing. Only one lure package per boat.

Does this mean (1) That the entrants are only Allowed to buy one lure package per boat?

OR (2) That the entrants are only allowed to use one lure package for the days fishing?

Only one lure package per boat. If you loose any of your baits during the event, you may not replace it with another one from your box.

So if there are 3 guys fishing as a team, they can only purchase (1) package total?
Or can each person purchase a package and only (1) pack can be used for the
tourney?
Not trying to muddy the waters, just I know I would like to fish it and also be able to purchase this package for my own future use.

After a discussion with a member on my site about the limit and the cost of gas to fish an event like this, I have changed the limit back to a 3 man limit.

Some people are driving from 200 miles away to fish the event. It makes it a lot harder to swallow the cost of gas when you are only allowed to keep a two man limit.

This reminds me of the Manufacturer challenge that was contested out of Onekama back in the late 80's. I hope that you move this around to other ports so that more people can take part.
