Email Note From Rollie Rose:
To All Tournament Participants and Those Who Have Yet To Purchase A Ticket
We are just a month away from the August 20th & 21St weekend so we thought it would be appropriate to give you the latest news and tournament updates. Firstly most of you are probably aware of the good news that as of July 16th the Chinook restrictions in Juan De Fuca Strait (ares 19/20) have ended. We are now under normal summer fishing limits for Chinook of 2 per day with no slot size and your 2 fish can be either wild or hatchery. To add to this good news a few larger Chinook have just started to appear in recent days both in Sooke and Port Renfrew. August is consistently a good time to fish for Chinook and we are expecting our new tournament dates will pay off with a fun weekend for all with typical August good weather, calm seas and lots of fish.
We have now topped the $100,000.00 in prizes and cash available to win in this years tournament!! This includes the $20,000.00 in cash for the winner. Our accumulator jackpot is now over $7,000.00 and if we sell this years tournament out we should see close to $10,000.00 in that one jackpot. We have added a couple more categories this year. This year we are bringing back the hat and t-shirt prize from the previous JDF Derby. The prize is a Trophy Mooching Reel with a value of $300.00 You must be wearing both your tournament hat and t-shirt to win. We also have a hidden weight prize this year with a Canon Digital SLR camera worth $700.00 to be awarded to the winner. For the person who just misses the top 10 largest Chinook we have the (I just Missed Prize) which is a night for 6 persons in the Harbour Air suite at the Veteran's Memorial Centre to watch a Victoria Royal's Game. Value is over $300.00
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
T-Shirts: For those of you who have yet to buy a ticket there are some important dates coming up. We will place our 2nd t-shirt order with our supplier on August 1st. This order date insures that we will have them in hand to give out on the final pub registration night on Tuesday August 16th. If you buy a ticket after August 1st you will not get a tournament t-shirt at the final pub night or before the tournament itself. This will mean you will not be eligible for the hat & t-shirt prize as you won't have a t-shirt. We will offer you a t-shirt for $10.00 to cover our increased costs to put in a small order after the tournament.
Awards Ceremony Roast Beef Buffet: Our caterers have requested us to commit to final numbers of people who will be served a meal at the awards banquet by Monday August 8th. To prevent wastage and unnecessary costs which reduce the monies that would be donated to our Sooke Chinook project we will only order meals for those who have purchased tournament tickets prior to Monday August 8th. All tournament tickets have a question on them: Do you plan on attending the awards banquet. Only those persons who have answered yes and who purchase a tournament ticket prior to our deadline will be invited up to the meal lineup. Those who have answered no or who buy a ticket after August 8th are still welcome to attend the awards banquet, there just will not be a meal allotted to those persons. If you were undecided in your answer to attending the banquet and you now know you will attend, you should contact myself before August 8th to be included in the food order. Extra meal tickets are available for $25.00 if you have a friend or family member who would is not in the tournament but who would like to join you at the awards banquet. You will have to contact us prior to August 8th to purchase an extra meal ticket.
FINAL PUB NIGHT REGISTRATION
Our final pub night tournament registration night is on Tuesday August 16th from 5-9 pm at the Tally Ho Sports Bar. This will be the final opportunity for anyone who has not attended one of our pub nights to pick up their tournament tickets and register themselves in the tournament. This is also your final opportunity to pick up your t-shirts/hats, rule booklets and window stickers. This is also you final chance to buy into the winner take all team jackpots offered at $100 - $250 - $500 - $1,000 buy in. It is also you final chance to enter the exact weight accumulator jackpot for 2016. We will have tournament tickets for sale at the pub night as well.
If you have already purchased your 2016 Alpine Group Juan De Fuca Fishing Tournament tickets we thank you for your continued support. You have probably heard that the South Vancouver Island Anglers Coalitions Sooke River Chinook project received the rubber stamp of approval a few weeks ago. We are now moving ahead with the collection of eggs from Nitinat this fall. While we were cut back to 200,000 eggs this year the goal is still to ramp up to 2,000,000 eggs by 2020. DFO decided to start us off at 200,000 in the first year as we are a new group and they wanted to make sure we have the technical ability to manage this project. Obviously once we get to the 2,000,000 production level this is going to create a major increase in food supply for our resident killer whales but it will also provide a major boost to our local Chinook fishery in Juan De Fuca Strait!!! All proceeds from this tournament are going to this effort.
If you have yet to buy a tournament ticket please give it serious consideration as a sold out event is expected to direct $40,000.00 towards this Sooke Chinook project. Your participation will allow us to finance this project and build towards our 2020 goal of 2,000,000 new Chinook in our local waters.
Thank you to all of you, good luck on the tournament weekend and we hope you really enjoy this years Alpine Group Juan De Fuca Fishing Tournament.
