When I was about 17, I lost a huge trout on opening day at Naples. That was 38 years ago. It was right near a concession stand and I had a crowd of about 50 people watching me. Some guy panicked and started jamming his net in the water. He ended up knocking the fish off. Everybody turned around and went back to their business. I was sick and I wanted to throw up and punch this guy in the mouth at the same time. To this day, there are only a few select people who I will allow to net my fish. I know that fish would have placed in the local Naples Derby that day. And the pain eases a little bit but the memory of that big one never goes away.

Thanks for the report and those are some great pics. You provided those girls with a life time of great memories on that trip. Those girls will remember that trip the rest of their lives. NICE JOB

Everybody ,thanks for the help with the launch info and everyone have a blessed and safe time on the water. Hope to see you out there.

My wife and I are going to enter the derby together for the first time. I am from Brockport and I want to try fishing out of Wilson and I don't mind the extra drive. We wont be there until about 10:30AM. Where is the boat ramp located and will there still be parking spots available that late in the morning?
