Post by: FANATIC on April 03, 2008, 09:46:43 AM: I'm in. My vote is for area 8,9,or 10. Depending on what we are fishing for. If its silvers, then area 9. If its for the catch and kill kings, I vote for the urban derby...Elliott Bay. If its for dog fish, dont even bother to show up...I'm the master. :chuckle:

There is no telling how many dogfish we have caught over the years. I think it would be fun to add dogfish to the bounty! :chuckle:

Post by: Wea300mag on April 07, 2008, 05:27:48 PM: You are forgetting those of us up north. How about we launch/fish up here and then trust us to be honest with our weights?

I've have never claimed to take a 500lb blacktail.

A good salmon will run you out of 100 yards of 25lb test line. Best eating fish there is, too.

I'm tentatively thinking weekend of July 19th, no other derby's going on and fishing should be OK. I'm also going to solicit local marina's to allow us to weigh our catch on their scale, take a photo, etc. (Everett, Tacoma, Seabeck, Zittels, others?). Probably the best way with everyone spread out.
