Was thinking of going but then saw the fee....yikes. Guess you have to be a celebrity to fish now too.

 

[tincan]

I agree it's not cheap at $250/person but it is a charity derby that raises $ for the groups below and you also get a bunch of stuff included with entry (lunches, dinners, swag, etc) so it's pretty reasonable IMO. I'm looking forward to it. Was in it last year as well and the weather made for some challenging fishing. Hoping the seas cooperate this weekend! See you all there starting tomorrow.


The Tofino Saltwater Classic is proud to support the following Tofino community initiatives:

The Wickaninnish Community School (PAC Healthy Food & Library Programs)

was there again this year and same results as last year......................didn't win!!! quite a lump running on the outside so we stayed close to the rocks, managed a few teenagers and one 21# but no money fish. seemed like a lot less fish in the area we were in, I think most of the fish taken were down toward Ukie and off shore.

When is the draw for these prizes? might not be a total loss after all, be there again next year too

All the prizes were awarded starting at 4;30 ish on the Sunday (yesterday)

As far as the fishing...it was the slowest i have seen in a few weeks. I don't think the full moon helped as the bit times were short but the was a 36+ fish caught for the winner.

Thanks again to Brendan and his staff for being the driving force behind this great fundraiser for many worthy causes. I personally took out a great group of guys from the Island and we had some good times despite the slower fishing.

 

[tincan]

Good times at the Tofino derby this past weekend! Fishing was a little slow but there were some good bites for a short while and our boat ended up with a good number of fish... no winners however. Was kinda creepy fishing offshore with all that smoke creating a weird haze on the water.

I'll be back again next for for the derby and it's great to see it growing each year in terms of attendees, sponsors, and funds raised for the many charities it supports.

 

[morganic]

This was the 5th time to this derby with my bud J-global.
Well put on by Brendan and his crew. It's an annual trip for us. Fishing was slow with just a few springs for us but managed to troll up a nice hali. Thanks peetz and sfbc for the prize pack
