I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get out early enough for the derby, ended up getting skunked not far from there though.

Had an awesome day out there,wasnt really a well known tourney for sure,but all in all we had a great time with some family and a few fish,should probably not include togue in the same category with the other trout species when it’s a weight winning scale,maybe they should have there own division,but not my tourney not my rules.        Derby’s are a dance you learn as you go. We’ll do it again next year

big for Little O, no? do they pull much for salmon out of there? I hear they are in there but not much about them getting caught.

The fact that they didn't put it on the maine.gov website really hurt the attendance, but it was still a fun day.  I think some door prizes would help as well.

I almost agree with you about the separate category, but my thought is that because togue are so few and far between out there, you're taking a risk if you're targeting them. I put all my traps on bottom in 30'-50' FOW and would've got skunked if it wasn't for the rainbow that hit my bait as I was pulling up my last trap!
