I'm still willing to help you out with this, that is, if you'll help me with my derby in Late January next year!

First things first, have to decide on a date and place. a one-day derby will be alot easier for most of us to attend. I would suggest a place that is either at the boat launch or very near it, because after a day of fishing the last thing any of us want to do is run all over to get somewhere. Keep it easy and the attendance goes up.

Additionally, you have to decide on the scope of prizes you want to offer, or keep it a social (which may be alot easier under the circumstances.)

If we are to have a derby for BM, that doesnt really go well with a kids derby IMO. I think they should be separate. I dont want to bring out my little girl at o dark thirty to fish BM and have her out all day until a 2-3 o'clock weigh in and BBQ, she would never make it, and I am sure alot of the other board members little ones wouldn't either.

For the kids, I think a mid morning to afternoon, separate get together would be easier....targeting silvers.

Just my observations. Let me know what I can do to help.
