Sign up now for derby
Roche Harbor’s annual Salmon Classic Invitational 2009, billed as the largest black mouth tournament in the world, is scheduled for Feb. 7 to 9.
But if anglers want to enter the competition for a chance at one of the big prizes, they’d better hurry.
Tournament officials report that as of Oct. 8, there were only 50 spots left open.
The sixth Annual Salmon Classic Invitational at Roche Harbor Marine and Resort is a three-day sport fishing extravaganza that attracts anglers from all over the Northwest and Canada.
With over $25,000 dollars in cash and prizes, this event brings out fishermen from all walks of life to fish the waters around Roche Harbor’s waters. Cash prizes include $10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second place and $1,500 for third.
In addition, there will be a $2,000 mystery fish and best boat total weight prize of $1,500.
Each night, donated prizes are drawn from the Northwest’s favorite fishing tackle and accessory companies including Frabill, Scotty, Shimano, Laminglass, Simra and Berkely will be awarded.
Also, each angler entered in the competition qualifies for the grand prize drawing, a top-of-the-line sport fishing boat package as a part of the Northwest Marine Trade Assocation Derby Series.
Derby entries are limited to 100 boats with four anglers per vessel at a cost $600.00 per boat (plus sales tax). The entry fee includes moorage and meals.
Last year the derby sold out on Dec. 7, so get your entry fee in now.
