Since I can finally fish a bit (and hopefully more on the ice), I am finally "in". Looking forward to all the loot!

Got it thank-you!

I will mail out the derby tickets on monday

Good Luck Gents!

Don't send via Canada Post or we may never see them Another option, if Canada Post strike continues too long, maybe we can print and laminate our own (if you e-mail them to us) - would also save the postage.
So it's me and Mykola head-to-head so far. I know the categories I should be able to have entries. And glad it's a draw after getting entered in the categories or I would stand a chance.

You guys are done

Just rec'd Drew's entry, so it's 3 of you so far.

Tickets #1, #2 & #3

Yes right I forgot about the Canada Post strike. Brutal right before Christmas..

I can send you a pdf to print. No worries. But I also have another mailing option,
just haven't checked out the cost. Right now it costs me just under $2 an entry to mail and laminate. No biggie. It's worth it, great seeing the entries come in and the fish porn.

Cheers

Hey didn't you hear, the derby has been cancelled due to the strike. Like I said, I'm really glad it's a draw thing....now, I just need to get the fish at those sizes. Hope I can choke up a couple of lakers from "my" lake to hit those two higher categories. I guess I will also have to figure out when I can make a couple of perch trips to Simcoe for a chance at the 14"+ panfish.

Just for clarification. If we caught a 14" perch, is that considered in the largest category or the one before that? Do we need a 14.00001" perch for the largest category? So greater than 13" to less than 14" and then 14" and larger? I'm probably counting my chickens already but I guess the question also applies to the other categories as well.

Yes larger than 14" for the largest category of panfish

Bigger than 13" and up to exactly 14" is number (3) category for panfish

The 14" plus category is usually taken with big slab crappies

But 14" plus perch can be caught as well

Perfect...that's how I read it as well but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the suggestion for species. And I am assuming the >30" game fish is usually pike or lake trout?

Yes last year, pike and lake trout were entered for the 30" plus gamefish category.

With some real nice fish caught...

Rainbow trout could also qualify here for winter river anglers..

e-transfer done, and thanks!
