The rumours are true! We're back
ON for the
Silva Bay Derby this year on
September 2-3. We've moved the dates to the first weekend of September which should take us out of the slot limit for the derby boundaries. Tickets will be $40 per adult or $20 for child (under 16). All ticket holders will be eligible for a grand prize of a HDS 10 PRO sounder from Lowrance. Weigh in at Silva Bay Marina. Prize ceremony, and the awarding of the trophy that's been handed out since 1990 will go on 12pm on Sunday, Sept 3rd at Silva Bay Marina.
Thanks to all of the generous prize sponsors who have already stepped up. We have over $10,000 in prizes donated already. If you are a potential sponsor and want to donate a prize, please let me know on here via a DM - or email me at
wcboyte@gmail.com. As always - all proceeds from this awesome event benefit local salmon enhancement and community fishing projects.
Boundaries will be (as in past years): Icarus, Neck Point, The Fingers, Entrance Island, Thrasher and Porlier and up to three miles offshore Gabriola/Nanaimo and Inside waters from Northumberland to Porlier.
All fishers must follow DFO regulations and closures and no illegal fish will be permitted to be weighed in.
We'll post more on this thread about how to get tickets - rules prize categories etc., but we wanted to start getting the word out so we get a good turnout.
Look forward to seeing you at Silva Bay on September 2-3!
