mohawkman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Where do tied crappie jigs belong?... Flies or wire baits? In the trash! But seriously, I would say wire baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbob Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 How can I enter a hard bait from my phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm assuming you're loading the mobile site on your phone. If so, you'll need to scroll to the bottom and click where it says "Full Version". From there, click through to the Gallery and then click on the gallery for the 2015 contest, click on the proper category and upload your entry.

Bbob Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I tried that and it want to the gallery page where it said I could up load but it won't let me select a the hard baits catagory and the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 There is no album to choose from. Just pick the category and then you can upload from there. I just walked through the steps on my phone and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Bbob... I did it from my phone... Just click Curt's link in post #1 ("The contest gallery is located here")... Then choose your category... Then click "full version" (on the bottom of the page) From there you can upload Tip: Sometimes (dependant of the camera on your phone) your files will be too big to upload (or they will upload sideways)... Solution: take a screen shot of your pic and upload that file instead If you still have problems, let us know what kind of phone you are using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiloTroy2 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 You would have to login first...that helps....or create an account. My only question is how do we upload more than one pix of the same item so that we can show the many processes or angles? I didn't know how to do this so I posted three pix of the same thing in one category...I know it says post one item to one category but it's the same thing in various stages..Sorry about that. Hope it won't affect the outcome b/c I didn't post two different items anyhow...If I need to delete, please inform me. I will do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiloTroy2 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I also have a question...Please do help me out. I have a lure that is in the category of handmade, but the item is factory made, meaning it does come out of a company but it isn't related to fishing...and I turned it into a fishing lure by breaking it down and rebuilding it like a lure. Would that still qualify me into the contest? I mean what if you take a doll from a particular brand and turn it into a lure? That's factory made, but it's not factory made fishing lure......so it would still qualify right??????

JRammit Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 For the multiple pictures you could do a grid... I have an app on my phone that does it, so im sure a computer could too Idk about the doll.. Ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Lilo - my thoughts are; hard baits are made out of all kinds of materials, from broom handles to plastic cladding, cigarette lighters and wine corks. There should be no limit to the material or what it was originally intended. This is just my opinion. This is Kurt's game and his opinion is what counts.

LiloTroy2 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Vodkaman, I know. I was just asking if I can get a confirmation from the support team so I can use a fishing lure I made that is very cool and unique in the Best Handmade category...but the category says no factory blank or whatever....so......I suppose I should be given the go since it is not from a fishing company nor is it a blank.

Curt - NC Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Lilo, any hard material can be used to create your lure. If it started out as a doll, then so be it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 For anyone who is having trouble uploading their photo, please follow these steps. 1 - Click "Gallery" at the top of the site. 2 - Click on the category you want to enter a lure in 3 - Click the Upload button 4 - Click the Choose Files button and then choose the file on your computer that you wish to upload If you're having trouble with this part of the process and you can't upload a file, please click where it says "Try our basic uploader". 5 - Once your file has been uploaded, you should see the screen above. It will show you a tiny thumbnail preview of your photo. If it shows the correct image, please click the Review & Publish button. If it shows the incorrect photo, please click the red "Delete" link next to the photo thumbnail. 6 - After you've clicked on Review & Publish, you'll see the screen above. Enter the required details about your lure, including the title, info about the lure and how it was created, etc. and then click the Finish & Publish button. That's it! If you're using Google Chrome and you seem to be having trouble with this process, please try downloading and installing Firefox and use that. Firefox is by far the most trouble-free browser.

Bbob Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks guys for helping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 One other thing I would suggest is to make sure you're logged in when trying to upload. Not being logged in will cause you to get taken in a loop when you try to upload a pic! I think someone above here might have mentioned this too, but I wanted to make sure it get's put out there for everyone's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbob Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Also can I have more than one entry into the same category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Also can I have more than one entry into the same category? Only one entry per category. But you can enter multiple categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
