How many people are going to this derby in Vancouver? The idea behind it is to replicate the vancouver sun derby of old which I hear was nuts. I have a boat registered already. Should be a good weekend for those of us 'stuck' in Vancouver over Labour Day.

The tournament is also an opportunity to support local charities and salmon stewards. Labour Day Chinook Classic raises awareness and funds for CAPILANO LITTLE ONES SCHOOL and the PACIFIC SALMON FOUNDATION.

Last I heard ( about a week ago now) there was about 45 boats registered ( out of the 65) . I have been asked to join a buddy in his boat that isn't registered yet. I know it will be an absolute blast, the food good, its for a good cause AND a chance to win good money. That kind of quality return though doesn't come cheap. At $1400 for 2 anglers and a boat entry fee ( $1600 for 4 anglers in a boat) I may leave it to those with more money than me... I think the price is fair and doable for many, no problem there , and likely getting all 65 boats to enter will be the proof of a fair price but I have to think twice if its gonna cost $700 each (for a 2 anger boat to enter)

OUCH!!

were you out lastnight for the fireworks??
 
No, did last year for the 3rd show. Just not too interested this year.
 
Good cause and all BUT ........

would they not raise more money if they made it affordable for the average Joe ............ the price keeps me from entering thats for sure.

Probably not because with 1/3 the cost for entry fee you would have to have 3 times the boats enter to equal the revenue..... with 3 times the boats then less chance to win . Less chance to win, less interest, less boats.......
 
I have put a crew together and should be regristered by tomorrow. Should be a blast!!

And Tim, you can still retain all those dogfish you've been catching!!!

Hopefully the spring fishing for this derby is as good as it has been in recent days. T 10 and bell have been pretty damn hot. Good to see. 2 more weeks until LDCC with cash and bragging rights on the line.
