Found a trap trap off Entrance this morning. Number not legible. Float is a boat bumper with one end spray painted red. PM me if it's yours.

Don't sweat it PM. Anyone who tries to enter a rubber tire in the "most unusual fish" category definitely has a sense of humour. Fun and funds for the hatchery is what this event is all about. No problem doing the tabulating when we only have 50 or 60 Chinook weighed in. It becomes a time...

Sounds like you did pretty well on the prizes Party Marty. Sorry you were disappointed your other fish went further down the prize list. However, your statement is not accurate. The top 50 prizes are awarded, including 31 Chinook, then the remainder of the Chinook are called based on a random...

Same as always. Icarus Point on the north to Porlier Pass on the south and up to five miles oss shore.

There are prizes for Chinook, coho, ling (closest to 15 lb without going over). Halibut, rockfish and sole. Even one for the best hat at the awards ceremony.

No prize list other than the 9.9 Yamaha for largest Chinook. The rest you get to pick from the prize table. We have downriggers, trap puller, Islander and Amundsen rods and reels and over 50 other great prizes.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 28 annual Silva Bay Derby despite the very inaccurate weather forecast. They got the rain right but we had no wind both days. Lowrance HDS 12 sounder was won by Nina Wheatley. Largest chinook was 23.61 lbs. caught by Tony Harvey (Hoochie Koo). He won a...

Tightlines 22. Call Jenny the office manager at Silva Bay Marina. 250-247-8662

Looks like a great weather forecast for the derby weekend.

The proposal to anchor massive 1000 foot freighters off the north east side of Gabriola, from Orlebar Point to Silva Bay has gone through the environmental review and now sits with DFO. If successful, this will turn one of the best and most consistent mid-Island recreational fishing spots into...

Thanks John. This is looking like the best prize table we have had in the 28 year history of the derby.

Some more great prizes have been donated to this years derby. A Bradley smoker from Wholesale Sports and a Kayak from Canadian Tire. I have had a chance to see the Lowrance HDS 12 sounder from Harbour Chandler in action. It does everything but bait your hook. It goes as a draw prize from all...
