[scgameandfish]

here it is folks, the St Catharines Game & Fish Association is proud to present its 38th annual Spring Salmon Derby!

Some brief hilights:

We have started this years derby a week earlier and are going a week later then last year.

Everyone who buys a ticket, is entered in a draw for a Scotty HP2116 Downrigger.

Boat tickets available! And yes the "captain" may use it as a "single" ticket if fishing with friends aboard another boat, but of course everyone on that boat must have their own ticket as well.

Yes your allowed to enter the same fish in another derby or tournament provided all rules are followed

Tickets will be available for sale soon at our regular outlets! We have some returning and new sponsors on board. Those prize packages from 4th-7th places are LOADED with various gift certificates & tackle items.
Please support & thank all our generous sponsors for their support.

Finally we are "thrilled" have to Captain Vince Pierleoni of Thrillseeker Sportfishing as our guest speaker at our next meeting on Monday March 25 @ 730pm. this meeting will be held at the Port Dalhousie Legion (west side of the harbour) Vince will be getting us primed for the upcoming season by discussing some of the latest trends & techniques he has discovered recently as well as a short Q&A session. We will be selling derby tickets, launch ramp passes & club memberships as well.

We will also be bringing back a summer "Members Derby" and details for that will be released when they are finalized.

As I am new to these tourney's please forgive my stupid question.  If I purchase a "boat ticket" that would cover everyone in my boat regardless of them holding individual tickets, is that correct?

Yes it covers all people that fish in your boat. And I also think as I was told by a fellow SLA member that the boat ticket also covers the captain if he fishes on a different boat, but only the captain.

Correct me of I am wrong

Cheers JB

Yes - this is correct.

[mcsteve]

Well that is cool.  I wish other tourney's would do this.

Best Spring Derby on the lake I wait all winter for this one thanks for putting together another great prize package :clap:.

These guys do tons for the fishery down at the south shore and many weekend anglers and tourney fishermen get to reep the rewards.

If I bought a boat ticket does it cover both the spring and members derby or is it just for the spring derby? And also wouldn't that mean anyone fishing the members derby with me would also have to be a member, or would the boat ticker cover them even as non members if the boat ticker itself is for both??

How do you know what is big enough to bring to the scales?
Is there somewhere online I can see weights per day?
I don't want to kill fish unnecessarily if they're too small?

Boat ticket would just be for the spring derby.  Members derby is seperate and you everyone needs to be a member to enter. (Memberships are cheap).

How do you know what to "hypathetically" weigh in day to day in this derby?
I should get a ticket.

Thanks,
