Last night I was in the process of edititing a post when something happened and the whole thread disapeared. The derby is still on with an estimated 25 people participating as of the last count. We have collected some awesome prizes to be won and randomly drawn @ the Saturday wrap up party. Look forward to meeting everyone on Friday Night. For those who have donated prizes thanks we post after the derby who won what.

Cheers Kev

Back in the early stages of putting this derby together, there was a post from SOMEONE on this side (Lower Mainland) that had a boat moured on the N. Shore (?) that was going over.

WHO ARE YOU?

cuz if you still are, then I have a small favour to ask.
I scrolled through the threads but can't seem to find the one in question. PLEASE contact me.

Thanks,
Dean.

Who's gonna take this derby?My bets are on Wolf and crew as Wolf probably knows these waters better than anyone.

Winning won't be everything as some of the prizes to be won for hidden weights and random draws are awesome. I don't care if we win or not. I'm coming down to meet some new fishermen, have a blast, drink some wobblies and fish halibut for the first time ever.

Cheers ME

A blerb off of DC's site...

"I land - and carefully release - more than 500 salmon every year. If you catch fewer fish, you should get to know me because I can teach you what you need to know."

500 salmon a year eh...
Thats 1.36 a day...
if you go out once a week it would be 9.6 per day
if you get out once a month it would be 41.6 per day

Man I gotta give him a call!!! I must be doing something wrong.

 

[SEARAM]

Lets not hijack this thread with stuff other then the task at hand getting together and having a great weekend at the first ever Sportfishingbc get together.

Searam I agree can't wait for the fun to begin !!!!!

Cheers ME

Everything's in order at the Legion. Walk through the door, you will see a glass door straight ahead. Ring the buzzer to the right of the door, the bartender will let you in. Once through the door and you go down to the first landing on the stairs, the area directly to the left is reserved for this event.

There's a kitchen that serves pub grub that's reasonably priced. I think it will be open until about 9:00. Oh ya, the beer's reasonably priced too. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Jim.

 

[MyEscape]

See you all there 12 1/2 hours and counting. LOL Let the good times roll. Off to work then a 3 hour drive then it's party time.

Cheers ME

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!! I hope that you all have a good time, and that you weigh in some big barn doors.

Be sure to keep those of us who can't be there informed on how things go.

To fish or not to fish,
What a stupid question!
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and he will sit on a boat drinking beer for a life time
