Greetings anglers, Sosarians, and players of UO Renaissance to the 17th fishing tournament. Triplet edition is for the 3rd May I Fish? tourney. I hope all enjoy. There are many ways to win so don't be disillusioned with a large fish being landed. Many have won big prizes on the last day. Contact me if you wish to donate. Have fun and FISH ON!!!

In addition, the next house decoration contest will be announced soon after tourney!


(95+ fishing is required to catch a "Big Fish", tis by-catch (loot) of a sea serpent which is caught offshore in deep waters)

Post screenshot of catch in this thread.
Big Fish datestamp must be between 5/1/2016 to 5/7/2016
(May 1st - 7th, 2016)
Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney and don't mount.
Mounting a fish will remove the datestamp.













​

Fishing Feats: How to win these prizes will not be announced rather awarded to the angler who accomplishes a pre-determined feat. For example, there might be a prize for the angler who turns in the 100th fish. The angler who does the pre-determined action will win the prize. I will be submitting a list of these pre-determined feats and prizes to GM Telamon before the Tournament begins to ensure there isn't a perception of a bias in awarding prizes. My advice is to participate and turn in fish no matter how big or small.

Anglers beware!
I was given a disconcerting note....

Rules:
* The tournament will be held Sunday May 1st, 2016 to Saturday May 7th, 2016. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on/between those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UOR server time, US Eastern, -5 UTC)
* Prizes will be distributed the following week.
* Fish weighed in will be credited to the angler, not who turns. Anyone can submit fish for any angler. Angler must be present to claim winnings.
* Use as many fishers as you like. Again, fish is credited to angler marked on fish. (some players are using more than one fisher)
* An angler can only place 1 fish in biggest and smallest categories. For example, Fisher X might have a 10 stone and a 12 stone fish however only the 10 stone will be credited in the smallest category. However, Fisher X can also place in biggest with a 199 stone fish.
* No sign up required! Simply post a screen shot of your catch but keep it for prize reward and... DO NOT MOUNT FISH. Mounting a fish will erase datestamp. Fish will need to be verified ingame to collect your prize. Only fish weight will only be recorded. You keep your catch.
* Anglers tied will split the prizes of the two respective places. For example, Anglers tied for 2nd place will split the winnings for 2nd and 3rd place.

Notes on Fishing:
Double-click on a fishing pole, then click on a body of water. If successful, you will catch a fish. You might catch something more interesting than a fish. Success with this skill also depends on the availability of fish in that specific area.
0-65 - On land you will fish up Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
80+ - Sea Serpents (No SoS Message), Special Fishing Nets.
90+ - Treasure Maps 100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message
95+ - You can reel in Big Fish which can be used to make Trophies via Taxidermy Kits.
You can get to 100 skill/Grandmaster fishing from land, but monsters will never spawn when fishing from land.

Many thanks to the generous sponsors and UOR staff
who make these Tourneys possible!

Treasureman approves this message.

I just recently got a fishing char up to 90 (from my roof ) and was excited to give this a try, bought a baby's first boat and everything, but does anyone have any advice about how trained up/prepared my dorky little fisher woman has to be to not get immediately ganked by this pirate thing? I don't wanna just give up because that's lame, and i pretty much do nothing afk but i'm smart enough to know I don't stand a chance surviving a fight as it stands. if I get a big one i just wanna protect my fish, dammit

.

Here's a random list of things one "might" be able to do...




Be a pirate.
