Official Announcement Salmon SlayRide Derby

i am very confused... is there any type of boundaries we are fishing?

Since the weigh in is near the Westport Inn why not launch in town and fish the estuary'?

My plan is to stay in twn and fish the north channel along the airport--Tony Floor says this route is seriously underfished.  I;ll bet the wekend will be a zo!

Yup, practice your stink-pot manners.  There will likely be plenty of boats out there regardless of where one plans on fishing. 

So is anyone staying at the Westport Inn?

I'm staying in the lot

I've got reservations for my small travel trailer at the Westport inn lot.

Question:  since the rules say that we launch and retrieve at Johns River, I'm assuming one would drive your fish to the weigh-in point, because it would be about a 15-20 mile round trip paddle (depending on where you are fishing) to the weigh-in point otherwise?

I hate changing plans a bunch of times right before an event, so I am going to just keep my tent site res at the motel.  Looking forward to meeting up with some peeps for the first time!

Yes drive your catch to the weigh in station.  It will be open till 5 pm.  Plenty of time to get there.

What's the time and location of the awards ceremony?  Westport Inn? 5pm? 

I'm hosting a housewarming that day, so I'm already halfway in the crapper just for coming out there. 

Awards Ceremony at Westport Inn Right after Weigh in closes at 5pm.

Any thoughts about changing the rules so we can launch/retrieve at other locations?

@Rory -- I found an online version of The Reel News

You need to check in/pay/sign waiver at the Johns River Launch before you fish if you want to go to one of the other launches to fish after that you can.  Check in when you are done at the weigh in station in Westport.

some silvers and a few chinook jacks  so far.  Not a lot of action, water muddy?  Lot of arglebargle about the NT nets going in. Hopefully things will be picking up as the 22nd gets closer!!
