Count me in that would be great fun.

[chris gadsden]

Sound groovy and a fun event. I would suggest we fish in pairs with the team with the heavist weight taking home the $. It might be fun to draw for fishing partners but only a suggestion. We could meet at Tims at Lickman or Cookies as they open at 5:30 for breaky and  away we go. Supper out?

Only my suggestions and will let the organizers decide final details.

I will offer up 2 dozen golf balls, used of course and a Maple Leaf Stealth and Maple Leaf Drennan also as prizes, I hope this does effect the entries.

Nice idea fellows.

[Nuggy]

I`ll  go

Cheers

[scruffy]

  .....and a Maple Leaf Stealth and Maple Leaf Drennan also as prizes, I hope this does effect the entries.

Nice idea fellows.

Uhh...Chris....prizes are things that people are supposed to want...

You might affect entries, but not in the way you expect!! 

I guess I'm a definite maybe for this too! 

[Geff_t]

I will have to find a sitter for the little guy and if I do I will be in fishing with searun.

[IronNoggin]

While it is Highly unlikely this Island Lad could make it over for such a Derby, rest assured many of us trapped over here on The Rock will be fishing that day 

Would love to attend, and it sounds like a right fine outing! Good Luck with the organization, and of course the fishing! I'll post the results we encounter over here the same day in Lotus Land for you to peruse 

Cheers,
Nog

[dennyman]

Thick Rick, count me in as a maybe. The derby sounds like a good idea and should be a lot of fun.

[cohokid]

Why only till 12?? thats barley any time at all, I thought 2 for the boxing day derby was bad, other then that, i may come but 20$ is a little much for me, i need to put it to gas.

[Randog]

Hey Rick, Put Big and Lil' Randog down. I'll donate some Ultimate Sportfishing wearables, Hoodie, shirts etc...

[TrophyHunter]

Cohokid, whenever we have had a fish in we have always cut the fishing out by twelve so that we still have time to get together and have a BBQ, if you start at first light it will give you 5 plus hours to get into some Steel ! and after the BBQ is over you are welcome to fish some more

 I am really looking forward to getting together with all the people from this site, it would be great if we could get a good number of fisherfolk out for this derby! Fishfreak I like you're idea of getting the wives involved.. it will make things run smoother for sure.. you're tent sounds great, I am sure that between us all we can get everything together that we need, I am going to work on getting some other prizes donated also...

[cohokid]

[testo84]
