wormdunker Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Good work Nip for organizing this event. What time do U plan to be there? I'm going to be there unless work gets in the way. I'll check your posts for final plans. Pls post whether U will have minnows. This would help me out, save looking for a bait shop. No problem kicking in $$$.
Nipfisher Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 Good work Nip for organizing this event. What time do U plan to be there? I'm going to be there unless work gets in the way. I'll check your posts for final plans. Pls post whether U will have minnows. This would help me out, save looking for a bait shop. No problem kicking in $$. My guess is some people will arrive between 7:30 and 9. We "kicked off" at 9 am last year. Last year I was able to purchase bulk shiners in pounds I have requested again so I will find out. I am sure the locals can adrerss the bait need if my supplier doesn't come through.
NAW Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Are we doing a little derby like we did last year? If I remember correctly it was a $10 buy in (maybe $5?). Biggest Fish, and Most fish split the pot, and get first dibs at the OFC gear box that TJ dropped off That was fun last year
Rod Caster Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I'll gladly pitch in a lure or two for such a derby

OutdoorDan Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I may not be hungover this time. I think you might be missing the point of a GTG, sir.
Joeytier Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I think you might be missing the point of a GTG, sir. No I'm not, don't worry.

Biggest Fish, and Most fish split the pot, and get first dibs at the OFC gear box that TJ dropped off That was fun last year Nick, I think this is what we did......from last years thread....... We also need to set some derby rules. How about a Toonie to enter? Perch need to be 8" to count, Walleye need to be 10" to count and Pike / Herring need to be 12" to count. Most fish and biggest fish should split the prize money?
Rod Caster Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) How about a twoonie and a lure? I'm gonna jig me up a 10lbs ling this year... watch out boys! Edited January 20, 2012 by Rod Caster
irishfield Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Prize for the shortest "spot" landing !!
Nipfisher Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Prize for the shortest "spot" landing !! I'll make sure to have some cold pop for you Wayne. I may have a beer or five but I'm not flying home. Not driving either lol. Edited January 20, 2012 by Nipfisher
Nipfisher Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Posted January 20, 2012 How about a twoonie and a lure? I'm gonna jig me up a 10lbs ling this year... watch out boys! R.C., I'll leave the derby up to you. One less thing for me to arrange.
Rod Caster Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 In that case, let's do a "deuce and a lure" for the derby prizes. I'll bring a box and a few things to ante up the prize pool. Blairs suggestion works for me; most fish and biggest fish split the pot. If your attending, try to bring something like a jigging spoon, jig heads, hooks etc to pitch into the prize pool but no hard feelings if you happen to forget. Old minnows don't count as a prize. Haha. ..And the derby organizer CAN participate! I'm predicting a pre-hooked 10lbs ling on my third line takes all...
NAW Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Not to sound cheap, but can I throw in a new lure, that's out of the box, or should we have all new in the box lures? I have some nice customize ice jiggin spoons I can throw in.
Rod Caster Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I was thinking that too... Old lure, unused lure, opened box..as long as its not a rusty, hookless chunk of lead (unless a sinker), the prize pool will accept it!
Nipfisher Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Posted January 20, 2012 On my way to the hut right now. I have just confirmed that I will recieve a pound and a half of shiners on the 28th at 8am. It will work out to about 11-12 dozen minnows. I will collect at the hut. No need to bring your own as I have more at my hut too. Thank you to Discount Bait and Tackle for the great deal on the shiners. I will have a second person with me so I can transport them legally.
Nipfisher Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Posted January 21, 2012 Should have a good report come Sunday. Gonna spend Sat night out there.
Rod Caster Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Should have a good report come Sunday. Gonna spend Sat night out there. Nice! Lingfest! Will u be there during prime time tonight? I might want to come for a visit
skeeter Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Sounds like a good time. I will see if I can make it up there this year.
Nipfisher Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 Sounds like a good time. I will see if I can make it up there this year. That would be awesome Dann.

Anyone have a habatchi or portable bar-b-que? Edited January 27, 2012 by Nipfisher
