It's happening!!! Black Bay Perch Derby!! March 18, 2018

Recommended Posts

Some Old Guy

Black Bay Ice Fishing Derby. 

 

Perch only.

 

Biggest Perch (length measured in centimeters)

 

$20.00 entry fee

 

2 lines per angler allowed

 

There will be a fishing area and no sleds, quads, side by sides in fishing area.

 

Derby time: 11am-3pm Sunday March 18, 2018

 

No quads or side by sides allowed out on the snowmobile trail at all unless you have tracks.

 

Please, this is on the honour system. No giving fish to other competitors or any other shenanigans.

 

Gary will be able to shuttle people out. It's $10.00 per person and please bring a helmet. And be at the Hurkett launch by 9 am!

 

If you need bait, Gary sells that and you can get it from his place on the way to the launch.

 

You will need to drill your own holes. Sounds like you will also need a 12 inch extension minimum!

 

Top three perch pay out!

 

1st place 50% of prize money

 

2nd place 30% of prize money

 

3rd place 20% of prize money

 

C'mon out and have some fun!

 

If you have any questions, email me at tech@ thunderbayfishing.com

and does the perch need to be kept? Cause if I catch a 14-15 inch perch, I like to release those big females.

No you don't have to be a member.

 

This is all about having a good time and meeting new people.

 

The area will be near the area that Gary has his huts.

 

And I think I will leave it up to the individual angler if the want to release the fish or keep it. But I'm with you Scandiman, I'll release mine.........that's if I get a big enough one to measure! haha

Zack, Gary has an auger and will drill holes for people... for a nominal fee. Check in with him at Hamilton Baits... or "crazyctr."

His auger is broken I hear, so don’t rely on him for your holes

I'm heading out to Black Bay Tomorrow and staying the weekend!

 

I'll be all by myself so if anyone wants to stop by and say hello, feel free!

 

I'm going to depend on my luck. Just bringing oil, Cajun style shore lunch, a frying pan, water, lemonade and a 12 pack of hot dog buns. I hope I catch a perch or two!!!!!

Taking my dad out tomorrow to try for some Specks, but heading to Black Bay with my daughter on Saturday, on my new ride.

 

Maybe we'll see you out there!

Since we can not call female anglers "fisherman" We should just call 'em hookers.....

I was using auger without extension with no issues as of a few days ago. You need to shovel down to the ice level and clear the ice chip away as you drill hole but no issue getting through. Couple inches to spare.

Yeah I was the same on one hole. Then 20 feet away I couldn't make it through!

Roger, I will be seeing you at the Hurkett Launch at 9:00 am... I am a little excited for this tournament. 

 

Gary, I will be needing your shuttle services yet again (me and at least two others).

 

Good luck to everyone who enters.

Is it going to be drilled holes or drill your own? Last time I was out I blow up my auger! ( it's a jiffy ) is any one willing to drill a few holes.
