Third Annual Fishing For Hospice Derby

[Morgan-E]

 

This has been posted on the calendar as well, but thought that it might get some more views here.  The Fishing for Hospice Fun Fishing Derby is scheduled for July 5th and 6th with rule sheets and entry forms found at the two weigh stations (Woody's in Pulaski and Screwy Louie's in Fair Haven) . Anyone planning on fishing that weekend is encouraged to register.  It is for a great cause with a nominal entry fee (additional donations are welcome) and is sponsored through ELOSTA.  100% of the money collected will be donated to Hospice of CNY which services the SE Shoreline of Lake Ontario.  Prizes are being donated by Jack Rosenswie, ProTroll, Addya, Indy 500 Spoons, Dream Weaver, and Danco Pliers.   We are aware that this coincides with one of the Pro-Ams as well as the LOC Derby and are hopeful that those who want to do both are able to. 

 

Please spread the word to other fishermen who might not know about this all around great event!

 

If you have any questions, please reach out 315-709-99 five 8.

Thank you to everyone who registered for the Hospice Derby. We had 30 teams registered and raised $1,000.00 for Hospice of Central New York. Although the fishing was not fast and furious there were many smiles and memories created. 
Congratulations to Jeff Waner (Empty Hook) for catching the largest salmon at 22lb 4oz.
Congratulations to Mike Schmidt (Break-A-Way) for catching the largest 3 fish box at 58lb 9oz. 
Both of these first place finishers will each have a $500 check sent to hospice in their name or in memory of a loved one. 
Other winners of prizes for single big fish were Jimmy Carpenter 22lb 2oz, Phil Lucason 21lb 12oz, and Mike Schmidt 21lb 4oz. 
Steven Connolly (Reel Cool Kids) picked up a prize for the second largest 3 fish box at 47lb 11oz. 
A huge thank you to the two tackle shops, Woody's and Screwy Louie's for helping throughout the event. Another huge thank you to Pro Troll Tackle and Danco pliers and knives for their very generous donations. 
Good luck with the rest of the season and looking forward to next year's event.
