Date conflict...hosting a BC coaching clinic that weekend!
Kids before fish I guess LOL
I will be there the weekend prior to the derby and will submit a report for those of you lucky enough to make it!
Looking foward to trying a particular trick I learned accidentally last year - perhaps it will work again (probably a one time fluke but my partners were getting annoyed at how easy it was for me to entice hits).

Smiley.

Ok Smiley.. you cant post that and not say what is is.. come on.. whats the trick..[]

Fill the dam tub!

We are booked and looking forward to it. Will be my second time for this.
I agree with Island fish lifter on Smiley's post. I am thinking he hit the post button before he was actually done

No place I would rather be (FISH ON)

[Islandgirl]

Well I am not sure about this year my self. But I do have moorage.

Alright...I've picked up lots of tips on here so might as well do some payback - hope this works for someone else.

Last day, 3 guys on board, rain was heavy and we had 2 limits, things had slowed down off Sep Head, we were out of beverages, made the decision to pull the pin for the day....for some reason instead of continuing to troll while while bringing the 4 sets of gear in I killed the kicker first.
Suddenly 3 of the 4 rods take hits! We landed 1.
Let's try that again, was it a coincidence?
Get 4 rods out while trolling and then kill the kicker.
Double header right away landed one.
Repeat, double land one.
Now almost at limit so try once more, again a triple header so we let 2 go.
So, 4 times the flashers were simply fluttering down deeper and 4 times we had instant hookups...you tell me?
We weren't on a school, no one around was into fish, nothing unusual about the depth or currents or whirlpools or state of tide?

The only awkward part was that boats around us had to move away since we had no steam on during the battles. Sorry.

Let me know if it works this year.
I will try it before the derby and report back.

Whoa!!! That's really weird. I'm doing the same thing!!

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

Thanks Sammy, I find dead slow troll works as well, maybe were on to something?

Fill the dam tub!

The old 'Neutral drop' [^]

 

[albernifisher]

Whats the chum forecast looking like this year? Heard it's not supposed to be that good

 

[Island Fish Lifter]

I was out today, had one large chum to the boat and 4 other ones on, one of which was to the boat as well, Im thinking sockeyes. Zero in the tub. It seemed to turn on slightly at the top of the flood.

Hey Chris

Yep, we're in. How about yourself?
2, maybe 3 boats. Copper 2 won't be here, he's in Afghanistan.

Cheers

 

[Pippen]

Dave....I will know this week if I can make it. Will let ya know ASAP.


If it's you, holmes and I....when do we start trash talking? [] As Captain....can we make some sort of a rule about the Blackhawks flag? I look to you to ensure this matter is addressed in a professional matter prior to us unleashing the fury on the fleet. []

Is all 3 days participation necessary? Id love to go for it but I doubt I'd be able to get a crew together for all 3 days. Plus I need to fernegle the time off.

Are drop ins allowed? Is there an entrance fee?
