Nice, I'll more than likely fish it. Working on getting the 13th off from work. Usually great fishing to be had around that time.

Work screwed me for that one. Might hit whiskey not this weekend but the next. Should also be around for the seminar next month too.

I was told the road down to Whiskey Gulch was open.  I may go take a look this weekend.

This derby we typically catch a decent king.  Kings and halibut should be pretty good.  The hard part is making it down for the Friday auction.

So I read the official rules and it doesn't specify if there are different prizes for the kayak division?  It doesn't make since that we would pay only $25 and have a chance at winning the same amount as the boats....anyone have any input? 

I tjink its because we dont fish multiple lines.  The kayakers could take advantage by entering a tandem kayak.  The people who get shorted are the single guy in a small skiff.  But most days on the anchor pt tractor launch, its a bigger boat deal.

I thought the same thing, and I think Rudy nailed it. The Calcutta registrations are boat registrations, as opposed to other tournaments/derbies that are fisherman registrations. I thought that was pretty cool once I figured it out.

This is one competition where we (tupperware fisherpeople) are not at much of a disadvantage. True, we can't pick up and run too a bite. However, we have equal access to prime ground.

I think I'm going to be able to make this one.

I'm in and hope to keep the kayak upright this time[emoji15]!
