Fishmaster, Yes and are YOU in. All my clients will be entered in this derby, why wouldn't they be. And yes they will most likely catch trophy fish. Charter boat day pass for $30.00 why not. clients love it. I have some dates available if you would like to catch some trophy fish. Fish On !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaderboard update https://soduspointbaittackle.shutterfly.com/specials Sean Ketchman from Waterloo, NY toughed out the heavy west winds and sporty seas to capitalize on a nice 23.08 lb king salmon to take the lead in the derby. Familiar bite meat pays off again. Thanks to all the sponsors and their great products!!!!!!!!!! PS: Tackle Buster II boated a 31.12 lb / a 20.04 lb and some smaller ones today but will not be entering those since it was just Dawn and I fishing for fun. Fish on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello folks, I've been out of pocket a few days here, looks like I have some catching up to do. But anyhow. I will be updating leaderboard Monday. Sorry for the delay. KEEP ON FISHING! !!! Lots of big salmon out here!!!!!! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes, minimum weights and other things will be tweaked into next year but will remain the same for this year. They're out there, go get them!!!!!!!! We have boated two this year and don't even target them lol. Fish On!!!!!

Jim, for someone so against this derby and has nothing but negative comments, You sure do monitor this thread a lot!!!!!!!!!! I think for those who do not like or disagree with it should simply go else where. I do not see anyone forcing anybody to be here or how to conduct business like is going on with our fellow tackle shops. Seems you may have interest elsewhere. Lets keep this post a positive one. Be HAPPY Jim!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Creek Road Tackle is out as weigh In. Hate to keep making these types announcements but it seems there is some strong arming going on towards the tackle shops that we are working with as weigh in and registration sites. And by some folks that may surprise you when it is made public. Totally unprofessional and showing no respect for the local tackle shops. Why would anyone approach another tackle shop which is working as a weigh in station and attempt to persuade them to not participate in another derby. Well I know exactly why but will let that to each of you to decide. Personally as I've mentioned previously, I would encourage every tackle shop to participate in as many derbys as they are personally capable of covering. By strong arming and persuading shops to not participate is simply keeping potential customers out of the local shops and affecting their business directly. Thanks to all of the great sponsors supporting this derby and thanks to all of you that continually support our derby's as well as all you local tackle shops. So we are good from Rochester to Henderson. Sorry west end, we'll get you set up soon. and yes Lake Trout 20lb Thinking about adding tributary and lake fishing to the September derby, whats the thoughts FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that reeldilemma33, As you know Dawn and I are usually here 14 to 16 hours a day. Had a few things that needed done yesterday.

Looks like Screwy Louies is out for weigh in. NO BIG LOSS. Simply run to Warren's or All Season to weigh in. Seems we have a LITTLE snake in the grass attempting to sabotage our event. That is NOT going to happen. We are just getting started. Sign up now at any of the other participating registration stations and be ready to win some cash and merchandise. FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaderboard has been posted daily. Whats your registration number longspurs?? would you like to debate the payout percentages.

lester, be careful

Dave I believe you have a voice mail if you check. I did call you directly as well as all other winner's. Sponsor packs will be distributed accordingly. And we greatly appreciate the help of our sponsors. Dave, If you are that unhappy with the winnings and you do not want it, we will be more than happy to award it to the next in line. Simply send me an email stating such. The Grand Prize winner will be receiving roughly $2000.00 in cash and prizes. Not bad for a $30.00 dollar investment if you ask me. I'll leave the percentage out since that seems to confuse some. If you want the big prize, catch the big fish!!!! Thank you all again for participating and stay tuned for some HUGE announcements. It's up to you guys what you want. Fish On!!!!!!!

Thanks to all of you that participated in the first phase of the Big Water Derby. Leaderboard can be viewed on our website. Congratulations to all who weighed fish in. Anglers with winning fish will be contacted tomorrow to collect on their winnings. Again thanks to all!!!!!! Stay tuned for some exciting news for upcoming derby news. Fish On !!!!!!!!!!
