What is Clayton’s? A non-alcoholic drink that is “the drink you have when you’re not having a drink” became part of Oz vernacular. Hence with Corona and social distancing running spearfishing meetings and organised dives is not opportune so the USFA would like to run an event that is not quite the event we have been wishing to organise for some time.
The idea of the Clayton’s is to spear one of each of the 10 species on the list (you’re given the species list and minimum sizes when you sign on, make sure you pack your cray gloves, wink wink); measure each specie you catch on a brag mate or similar measuring tool; take a photo showing the length of each specie; submit the photos with the USFA code you are given on the day clearly in the photo with each of your catch; if your any of your catch is the longest of that specie you win a spearfishing gift voucher; the spearo with longest overall length wins too and is the Clayton’s winner on that weekend.
If the Clayton’s receives good vibes, we will introduce a regular fixture of events, mixing up the species and size limits as per season. Who knows the name may change to be less tacky too…?
This is a fun, easy challenging day to take part in of, – go diving, spear the fish listed, measure them yourself, send in the pics of each fish and you are a chance to get a prize. there are some guidelines that need to be adhered to, so we have a smooth-running event to occur.
This is ethical stuff and it comes down to your own integrity, like it was mentioned above - this is a fun event to be a part of, don’t complicate things with doubt, please if you are unsure just ask one of the organisers.
DAY 1: Saturday morning 0600 sign on and 5pm sign off
DAY 2: Sunday morning 0600 sign on and 5pm sign off
Remember! Your fish must be submitted presented by 6pm sharp Sunday, with the USFA code in each photo or your captures will not be recognised.
Signing on daily for the event –
Once you have registered online for the Clayton’s Cup you will need to “sign on” to let the organisers know your intent to fish that day and approximately where, and when you are entering the water till need to let us know when you are entering the water, and approximately where you will be, and how long you expect to be diving for. Remember locations are from Swansea to Shellharbour.
You may choose at any time whether you will fish one or both of the weekend days, and you can move to multiple dive sites throughout each day.
You will need to sign on your intent to dive on each of the days that you choose to fish; as mentioned above, you may fish either one, or both, of the days of the Clayton’s, and, if your first location wasn’t enough for you and you wish to dive elsewhere on the same day you can, please just extend the courtesy to repeat the SMS process again to inform us of your location, thinking safety here for this process is all.
Signing off for the day – letting us know you are safely back.
You need to let us know you are back on land, so we do not contact services to go looking for you.
