Sounds fun. Last week was a very fun thing. Unfortunetly we did not weight anything the ones that we got to the boat were all small around 5 lbs and one 10lber....we had a tough time keeping the bigger one's hooked

We had one that hit our dipsey out 200 ft and didn't turn it around until it peeled out another 130ft...we saw it on the surface a couple of times but didn't get it to the boat, spit the hook

I'll see if we can get out for this one as well, weather looks bad for the upcoming weekend

Payout depending on entered boats I assume? How many were entered last week? Also what ended up winning the Olcott 1 day?

Our team, Kingfisher won the big fish and took second in the 3 fish total. Big fish was 24.2 and our 3 fish box was a little over 56 pounds. I believe there were 80 teams entered in Olcott. Big fish paid $1,250 and the 3 fish total paid $1,000. It was a great derby and I can't wait to fish the one at the Oak!

The payout is dependent solely on the number of entries. This tournament will be 100% payback. Keep in mind though, the Olcott event had nearly $2000 in sponsored prize money to help with the payout. Because this was a last minute thing that we just put together we won't have that luxury.

All I can promise you is that it will 100% payback in CASH.

See ya there!

Certainly the truth, 100% payback, the work for this behind the scenes is donated and appreciated, all monies are payed back guaranteed and a great job is done !!! Do not hesitate to get into these side events, they are worth it !!

[ray koziatek]

If this is going to be a ongoing event before the Pro/Ams how would everyone feel about 5% or a little more be set aside for the pen rearing for that given port..?????????????? i vote yes.

Team troutman is in it. You might as well as be if you are pre fishing for the tournament. As far as donating money back Ray, many people put in time and work, so if we can win a few bucks -cool right? Hope to see you guys this weekend--Mick.

Pretty tough today. Out of 40 some boats entered only 14 coolers were weighed I heard. It should be an interesting tournament. Good luck to all- Mick
