Count me in! I have family coming into town that weekend but I am sure I can sneak away for a while.

Launching at Armeni will be best for me. The Armeni launch puts you right in the action as soon as you leave the launch.

Count kingfisherman and the ol TrailRat77 in boat launch doesn't matter for use can make the run either way.

I'll try to make it and bring Baitboy if he isn't working.

Count me in! We are getting a new GPS/fishfinder this would be a good way to break it in. See you all out there.

Sky Guy, hey if I don't have to work Big-Daddy and I may show up. By the way, what channel do you guys want to moniter on the VHF? It would be nice to communicate as the day goes on.

Most guys out there monitor channel 68 on VHF.

I'd love to go if I could get a ride with someone.

Count me in with ET

I'm in, would prefer to launch at Alki but will do either. Looking forward to hitting the water. I will also be be out at Sekui the for the derby. Look for a 20' NR and say hello.

I'm some what of a newcomer to this web site, but not a newcomer to bm fishing. I own a texaco station in south bellevue, and would be willing to donate some beverages and gas for all of the boats partaking in the floatilla.I'm always eager to meet more fellow salmon fisherman. Anyway let me know if your interested. Thanks alot
Andy

Hi all,

Good commitment on this so far.

I am going to spring the $24 for the Derby registration, and if anyone wants to chip in on derbay day, or buy me a beer, that would be great. I'd rather keep everything on the up and up, since I would like to figure out a way to get a prize cache for the top placing fish.

I think we could go 1,2,3,4 in weight for an uncleaned fish, then a prize for the best combined weight of two fish for a boat. If you have any other prize category suggestions beyond what I stated, post it.

Tomorrow after fishing we are going to swing by the Sloop Tavern by Shilshole and talk to the owner, Charlie I think it is, to see if he will host us. I am sure he will because it will mean a good bump in business on a otherwwise slow Sunday afternoon. They have had an annual coho derby out of the Tav for years, so they are no strangers to fishing or derby's.


Some items that would you can help me get together for the Derby:

Scale for weigh in. Any PSA member or anyone else that is participating have a good scale they can bring?

Digital camera so we can post pics here. Easy, would/could you be our derby cameraman?

Help securing prizes. If anyone can help me get some stuff together, or you want to donate something, that would be great.

I dont want to go with cash prizes, which would force the sale of tickets and create a logistical nightmare... plus it is nice to get new lures, dodgers, other gear.


Kwik Fish-Thanks a hell of a lot for the offer. Maybe a few six packs or 12'ers for prizes from your end, if that is what you were referring to. (anyone oppose beer for prizes, hell no!)If you were going to offer a discount for gas or something, great idea there as well.


Ok, getting the gear ready for the AM. Will post results tomorrow night.

Also, God bless those Astronauts. what a horrible tragedy.

im up for it if anyone has an open seat...i want in, i can provide bait, beer or whatever to earn my keep, email me if you've got an open seat

I can be the cameraman.

Oh wait, who's going to take my picture?

sky guy,
I'm up for donating beer for prizes,and how does a $100.00 gasoline certificate sound?. Let me know if these are worthy of prizes. Andy

One last hooraa for the Blackmouth would be great,will have to see if my fishin buddy wants to go,if not i will have a seat open,will get back to you on that , fishy

It is looking like, right now, I am going to have to pass on the blackmouth flotilla on the 23rd. Got family coming in to town and I am going to have to spend time with them.

Yeah, I'm up for it! I too prefer the Alki launch if the weather is snotty, but can drive wherever I need to. Ron Bob, wanna go on this one? I'll e-mail you.
