Hello all Fishers! - today is the last day to buy your tickets!!!

 

[Tips Up]

What is prize for largest halibut?

What is prize for largest halibut?

Looks like it is a cash prize that is 1/3 of the ticket sales according to the poster above.

 

[Tips Up]

Poster says 1/3 to largest salmon, 1/3 to random cash prize, 1/3 to SVIAC. Unless I’m missing something?

 

[Tips Up]

Maybe the small print was copied from last years poster and not updated.
this year is 1/3 salmon, 1/3 Hali, 1/3 SVIAC, downrigger random draw? That’s what I’ll assume.

I was going to be away and unable to attend but I’m freed up now and will see if I can still get a ticket.

I got mine and signed up a buddy. Pulled tons of bait from the freezer. Planning for an hour or two of trolling then set the hook for Hall!

Any hints on where No Bananas or others have been catching springs? What's been working? Feel free to PM me.

Good luck!

Largest spring was 11.9 lbs., largest halibut was 48.4lbs.

Any idea of how much money was raised or what the cash winnings where for the biggest fish ?

 

[Whole in the Water]

Not as many folks in the derby this year - 62 tickets. Need to get more next derby. $1334 + $800 side bet for biggest salmon, 1334 for biggest halibut and 3 great draw prizes and lots and lots of tackle grab bags. Good time was had by all.

SVIAC still needs lots of $ to raise for this years 660,000 smolts and also needs volunteers to man the net pen in Sooke in April and May.

If you want to help out please contact info@anglerscoalition.com

62 tickets ? I figured there would be at least double that. I would be curious how many SVIAC memberships are current ?

 

[Whole in the Water]

They could also use more!!!
