The Master, Frank and I are going to tag the 25 pike minnows today, that is if if can catch them. I guess we better as Shaw TV is coming to take video and one of the local newspapers to take pictures, the pressure is on. ;D

For anyone that catches one of these fish with one of the numbered tags on derby day wins $100. ;D ;D

I wish I could make it. I was planning on taking my son this year by my surgery date has been bumped up to June 17th. It was suppose to be at the end of the month but they made room for an earlier date. So I hope everyone has fun and I look forward to the report as fishing reports will be the closest I get to fishing for 6-8weeks .

I think I'm going to be fishing cultus lake after work (and school) every day until the derby. Might have a few in the freezer by the 20th  ;D  ;)

We tagged the 25 pike minnows today and as usual I had my usual luck, in catching only 4 but I did get one big one. ;D ;D Of course The Master outfished all of us. One that we tagged had a tag from a previous year in it so now it is decorated with two tags, not sure if it is caught derby day it will be worth double, $200 ??

Shaw TV and The Chilliwack Progress came and filmed the action as well. ;D

I was thinking they were going to be a needle in a haystack to catch, but you proved me wrong by catching one. Which area did you release those fish, Im sure they havent gone far.  ;)
