Gill-T - The weights have varied over the years from about 10 lb something to about 18 lbs (Brown). A rainbow or Landlock has never actually won the derby (yet).The lakers and browns have been the top money winners. There are launches in Geneva at the Chamber of Commerce (Visitors Center) (Lake Street and Rt#5 and 20, Seneca Lake State Park also right below Geneva on Rt. 5 1nd 20 (north end of L Seneca Lake). There is also a ramp at Barrett Marine and the canal on the Old Waterloo Road (not sure if open or charge), Sampson State Park (all new marine and launch), Rt. 96A on east side of lake, Lodi State Park off 96A south towards Watkins Glen, Clute Park in Watkins Glen at south end of lake, Severne Launch between Watkins and Long Point (west side heading north), and Roy's Marina just south of Geneva on Rt.#14. Stivers Marina is at the north end of the lake near the mouth of the Seneca River just as it meets the north end of the lake. Hope this helps.

Only the handicapped dock at the north end too. The others are just sitting there on land

Nope checked on Sunday and only kayaks and small boats launching with no docks in

I'm working on it Stan. You make a good point on the numbers too I look forward to seeing that Arima out there

Forgot to mention that I saw on the news tonight that there is a 5 mph speed limit within 500 ft of shoreline on both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes and a lot of debris in the water as well on both lakes.

Nice work Kevin.....they truly are a lot of fun and sometime perplexing as well I love to see that bobber travel without it even sinking

Messin with me isn't going to protect you guys from defeat even if it is #13 I put the moloch on you guys and it didn't cost me a penny the devil said you guys deserve it for being so mean (first smack talk of the season ....another good sign coming my way

# 1 and 2 on the entry forms Don

Hey Stan I don't want to worry ya but my son is #1 and I'm #2. If that is any omen....you may want to save your money

Great male brown

Is it a transom mounted transducer? If so it must be located away from any sources of disturbance such as strakes and chines (ridges or areas where water channels as it flows past) on the hull. If you are not consistently marking bottom during travel the transducer may not be properly placed. The transducer may be too far to the outside of the hull and when on plane so that part of the hull is not consistently fully immersed at the right angle during travel. One thing to check before doing anything else is to check the sensitivity (or gain) setting on the new to you finder. If set too high you can be seeing all sorts of possible sources of "clutter on the display".

Yep good chance they are Sculpin (hopefully) very common food for the lakers on Seneca

Hope its me...I love busting balls

I bet I have you all beat in fishing time though by 81 I had already been fishing for 32 years but lets not forget about what this thread is about....recognition of a great fisherman that apparently influenced many others in a very positive way and that is more important than time spent doing anything.

Ah cool. Hard to tell size from a distance in pic. Great boat.

Bob Stivers the Derby President indicated in another post on here that it is still going to be held as of a few days ago.

Nice catch. Is that a 21 or 23 ft Revenge? In my world any Whaler is a good boat

I think the derby committee is meeting next Wednesday evening to discuss it (i.e. whether the derby is on or not)

I hear ya man...

Good luck with all of it Justin. Maybe you'll be able to salvage the season after all
