Fall Salmon Derby Contest

[Rigger]

Okay. Time to get posts here and create some interest. I will donate 1(one) Custom cut bait glow meat rig with two back-up Challenger Big Eye Roller heads and 1(one) package of back-up Silver Horde double glow teasers, 1(one) Dreamweaver 8" Spin Doctor, and 1(one) package of preserved cut bait. This set up alone has boated over 100 Salmon and over 50 Rainbows just this year.



Also 1(one) NK lure, 1(one) Luhr Jensen Lake Trolls with 2(two) Spin-n-Glow's(size 0 & size 2). A little bit of everything to catch Bows, Salmon and Lakers to the person who guesses closest to the winning Salmon weight of this year's 2010 Fall Salmon Derby. Just reply to this post with your guess of the weight that wins the Fall Derby this year. Prizes will be awarded on awards night. In case of a tie, the winner will first be the one who does not guess over the weight and then by a draw if necessary. If INTERNET access is not available to you, drop off your guessed weight at the Clubhouse on Lighthouse Road with your name, weight and phone number in an envelope. Only one "guessed weight" per person.

Entries accepted until Sunday, September 12, 2010.

Thx for your interest, Rob(Rigger)

Hmmm, nothing here that say's I can't enter.

Winning weight: 40.03 lbs

Yeah, I know it's high but that is my goal.

[dyverdown]

34.08

This is like the price is right

LOL

[bigmatt]

35.38lbs. Just a hunch

[rm]

I'm going to wait till sunday sept 12th

nice looking rig. what kind of crimps do you use for the squids, are they just small steel ones? kinda looks like there's something underneath?

[Rigger]

Crimping sleeves are purchased @ Peter's Tackle on Secord Drive in St. Catharines, Ontario. Tubing to protect Seaguar fluorocarbon is glow in the dark. 30lb fluoro used in the spring and 40lb in the fall. Most people are waiting until the last day of entry and checking the latest leading Salmon at that time. If you have an entry posted before that date and someone weighs in a fish greater than your guessed weight, in all fairness, you will be able to modify your post no later than midnight, Sunday September 12, 2010.

I'll try to post a picture or weight of the St. Catharines Game & Fish leading Salmon on Sunday.

Rob!

Rigger, thanks for putting this together...sure would like to get my hands on that cut bait rig! My guess is 33.12.

[Rigger]

Am really enjoying fishing this year. Seems like the best year yet and it is only going to get better. This is the custom whole bait, double glow teaser rig that nailed the 29.00 lb'er on Thursday in tight on the South Shore. Fishing was so good, I boated him in the morn and weighed him in @ 1 p.m. Hmmm, hope that does not come back and bite me. This rig is so beat up that it loses crazy glued eyes, has epoxy in the tail and many teeth marks.



Good Luck Out There, Rigger!
