Not sure about getting tickets on Sunday but if your setup includes putting traps in then be aware that leaving traps unattended is illegal even if for a short period of time...plus putting your traps in prior to buying a ticket would technically be fishing for fish you intend to put in the derby and this would not be legit and unethical....just saying...
I read in the rules/prizes pamphlet registration is till 1pm Saturday.
2/23/2018Last night was just about perfect. No or low wind and cold. Had to bring in the bait to keep from freezing. Quiet except for the sound of the air raiders. No cusk. Woke up early and was planning to lay around till 7 am but at 6 am the rattle reel went off. From there it never stopped. Even had to Multi tasked during my morning dump. Prior to, I was hobbling around like a Penguin turtle heading hoping they would take a break biting and give me 15 mins. Ended the day with an epic personal best 25 Lakers. 2 cusk so far. I kidded around about not letting CH come out till I hit 100 for the season. She came out when I hit 99 and was there to see me get # 100. Up to 110 for the season so far now. CH managed to pull up 5 today. No camera. Today was a PJ’s day. Weather wise it started out cloudy and warmed up to 34f. The started to sleet and rain. Raining now. Laker Taker ended his day w 17 Lakers. Epic day. Tomorrow we drop the camera. Good luck every one attending the derby. Be safe.

Great Nefound Derby... we did not have any success to speak of but enjoyed a great weekend.. 2 nights on the ice with great friends.. no fish but many stories.. PS: there are NO fish in Wellington Bay.. glad everyone had a good weekend!
Lol...no fish off Wellington launch either! I’d like to know where the recent 15 pounder and the derby winner 13 pounder were caught!!! Deep, shallow, ??
From what I see on Facebook the 13 pounder came off Whittemore point.
Thanks! What Facebook site would that be?
