If you've never been involved in this you really ought to give it a shot. It's not a high-powered fishing tournament. Sure, there are some people who probably take it too seriously, but they're in the minority. Mostly, it's a bunch of great guys who love to fish, talk about fishing, fish, talk about fishing.....you get the idea. All the proceeds go to the Derby Scholarship Fund.
This was the first year we've been involved as a sponsor and we're in for good. The people who organize the event are the nicest bunch of people I've ever met. They're friendly, welcoming, generous and just out and out nice. I spent most of my time with Wilson Kerr and he couldn't have been more accomodating. He fished with me for about 2 solid days, showed me the whole island, hot spots for each of the four species involved, the whole deal. Great guy and fellow fly-rodder.
I know what you're thinking. What about the fishing? It pretty much sucked. Those back-to-back Noreasters that shot through completely screwed u pthe fishing. I got 1 Striper, the first night I was there. Nice fish at about 31 1/2", but just undet the limit to weigh in at the Derby.
