There is a pay box mounted to the wall of the store facing the the launch . Got me how you prove that you paid if ask or someone does a vehicle check .

Guess maybe might want to bring envelop with your info on it. Hughes marina has the envelop system and it has worked OK over the years

I would say to all the people out there "sitting on the fence" about entering "Go for it". The derby is a lot of fun, can be a great family event, and the odds regarding winning prize money is a heck of a lot better than buying lottery tickets stc. The lake may not be the easiest fishing these days but the challenge of it is what it is all about. A derby like this is not all about catching the MOST fish....it is about catching that one LARGEST fish out there and luck plays a role in it for everyone so everybody has a chance at it whether in small craft or large or with all the latest "gizmos" and electronics. Where else do you get a chance at $10,000 for just having fun?

Excited for the weekend! Not sure if I'll be able to fish all days, but I know I won't catch anything at home.

 

I've been watching the wind reports and the east wind for Sat/Sun should be interesting. I'm actually glad about it cause launching solo out of sampson with a 16' boat I'm thinking I won't get beat up as much staying on the east side of the lake. I wouldn't call myself a fair weather fisherman, because I've  gone fishing out of the boat in rain/snow/hail, but I guess I might be a fair-wind fisherman? 

 

Fishing wise, east wind probably isn't the best, but I'll be pretty pumped if I don't get skunked.

Got this out of Samson

You should be fine launching there pretty protected, can get to deep water fast and back off the lake in bad weather, some good spots nearby

Just in case anyone gets hungry.

hey guys, quick question 

where's the best place to weigh in fish, samsen or drive to geneva?

 

this is our first year in, and i've never fished seneca before so i just don't know where the most room is, i'll have my boat with me

[Sk8man]

Samsen is quite a bit more roomy to navigate
