Win $500 | Video Contest | In The Spread
2019 In The Spread Fishing Video Contest:
Combine your fishing knowledge and your skills with a camera to produce an educational fishing video for a chance at $500 cash. In The Spread will give a single grand prize for to the best video submission. This is all about sharing knowledge. Help others catch more. Show folks what you are doing, how you are doing it and specifically why you are doing it to catch fish. It could be specific tactics for targeting a given species, how to rig baits, how to get the most out of a range of lures, the gear you need and how to set it up or anything you think will help others catch fish. We all learned how to fish from someone who knew more than we did. Pass your skills and knowledge on and maybe win 500 bucks cash.
Submissions can be for saltwater or freshwater fishing. Each video should focus on teaching, sharing knowledge or instructing how to catch more fish. The whole idea is about educating others on how they may improver their fishing.
