Tickets are available starting this weekend. Harbour Chandler has them in time for their sale on Sat. Rules have not changed Birdman. The Lowrance sounder is a draw and you don't have to be there to win. The other prizes are for fish weighed in and a friend can pick them up for you if you are lucky enough to win one and not able to be there on Sunday afternoon.

Tickets are available from Derek (Southern Cross) or you can send us a cheque and we will leave them at the weigh station for you or mail them if time permits. PM me for more details if you wish.

Any fish entered in the Silva Bay Derby if caught by a SFBC member or family member entered in the SFBC 2014 Derby will also be able to enter their fish in the SFBC 2014 Derby for more info... http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum/...FBC-Derby-2014
Only $25 to enter and you might just end up winning two derby's

Thats the plan just going to crash in the cabin for the night
It would be nice if they(guide boats mostly) would weigh in there fish and move on. Last year twice i came in to the dock and sat there floating around while the guys just stood around shooting the **** . Needless to say i left both time without weighing in our fish .
Other than that it was a great time !

We now have a $900 ladies Islander MR3 Reel (pink) and RCR mooching rod as a prize for the largest fish caught by a female angler. Great prize donated by Brian at Pacific Boat Brokers.
Couple of other changes for this year: There will be prizes for released fish as usual. However, this year everyone who releases a legal size salmon will be entered in a draw. No need to measure and photograph the fish. Just let it go as quickly as possible and put your name on the "released fish" sheet at the weigh-in station. To discourage anglers from bringing in those 20+ pound ling cod, which are normally the spawners, top prizes in that category will go to fish closest to 15 pounds.
We have the burgers donated again for the BBQ but you are on your own for refreshments and side orders to go with the burger.

I have had a few questions about ticket prices. It is $25/person or $50/family (fishing from same boat). You can run all the rods you can handle with either ticket. Each tickets gives you a chance at the Lowrance HDS 10 sounder so there is a better chance of winning if you buy two individual tickets rather than a family if there are only two of you.
Derby ends at noon on Sunday and the BBQ and prize ceremony follows at approximately 1pm at Silva Bay Marina. You can designate someone to pick up your prize if you can't be there but they have to step forward before the next name is announced.
Any questions...pm me.
Pacific Net and Twine, Gone Fishin and Harbour Chandler now have derby tickets available.

Wholesale Sports have donated a Scotty Propack electric downrigger. Another great prize for the derby. Should also clarify the prize for the top fish entered by a lady angler. A fish can only be used to win one prize. So, if the overall top fish is entered by a lady she can claim the $1000 prize OR the top ladies prize but not both.
