Overall Im not sure about all the changes, I liked the original format. Chances of a boat out of Sandy catching a winning spring king are very small. Find it hard to believe that prize structure affects the amount of entries. "gee I have never signed up before, but now that lakers and bows dont count Im in!" ???????? Either way Im looking forward to the Derby and hope to take some of his money. Hope other Sandy boats fair well also. Going to have to chase the early bight, not having a weigh station for ten miles in either direction kind of ruins the evening trips. -

Is it possible that the Laker exclusion is because they live so long and are one of few that naturally reproduce in the lake? Kings die by year five, end of story. Lakers can live to a hundred from what I have read. Killing off too many lakers over the slot limit cant have a positive impact on the fishery. As far as Chilsons rules, its his derby. Kind of like a buffet, find something you like. There are some big carp in the lake also, second cousin to the lake trout just a little harder to catch LOL -

Great tourney, run really well due to the hard work and time these guys put in. It's a class act and was a Fun day. It was hard to pick the teams success by their faces at the awards ceremony, everyone I saw was smiling and enjoying time with family and good friends. Can't put a price on that Thanks all for a fun time.

Keep your eyes on the surface temp map (located on the left side of the home page on this site) periodically the lake "flips" and it puts cold water on shore during the summer months. When that happens a lot of the fish head for warmer water offshore however some, mostly browns, will congregate in shallow water. When this happens you can definately catch some off the piers.
-
as long as water temps dont exceed 60 degrees you should be able to pick up browns at first and last light with spoons and plugs. 8 lb line is fine and the local piers like hamlin beach or the oak are a good bet. Later in the year, mid september it will pick up.

Doesnt surprise me. Over the years I've been fortunate to take a few derby fish on NK's. I have a pic of Patsy (deceased owner) with my kid from 2001 when he won the youth Steelhead division. He gave us a bunch of lures and used the pic for ads. Last year I was lucky enough to catch the winning summer derby brown, 20lbs 11 ounces on a NK. I sent NK an email offering them the pic for nothing in return. It was a cool looking pig of a brown, only 33 inches long, crazy fat. Thought they might want the pic, but never heard a word from them. Too bad because Im an NK freak and more often than not if Im running spoons they are NK's. Love the lures however their customer service isnt the best.

Braided line for Dipsey set up
whaler1 replied to Draggin The Line's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I like the slide divers, I can run leads as short or as long as I choose. When fishing the top of the column the long leads really produce. -
Braided line for Dipsey set up

Mono has too much stretch to release a dipsy out more than a hundred feet or so. Braid has no stretch and is easy to pop a release at 300. -
Braided line for Dipsey set up
whaler1 replied to Draggin The Line's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Im not sure why folks here are so confident that braid is a flea magnet. I have run 80 lb braid (same diameter as 30lb mono) for over ten years and although it does pick up some fleas, most fall off when reeling in. Those that make it to the rod tip fall off when they get to the tip. I like the fact that the braid has no stretch and I can "pop" a release with 300 feet of line out with the flip of the wrist. -
