Ladyboy-Hum, I don't think it would make it long in Yakutat.

Our dancers will at least have the right parts!

So, to help with the visual---Each boat will have an observer on board and the observers will be the dancers!

Dave Vedder will be the MC of the event so you all need to come up and enjoy a great derby and some fine fishing!

I wouldn't miss it for the world! Sign me up Rick. The fishing will be amazing! I realize there is a halibut opener in WA but you really can't miss out on this opportunity. We'll be fishing shallower, catching bigger/ more fish, all species are awarded points and count. The chance of winning alot of cash will be great, not to mention a free trip back up fully guided. The commradarie and fun will be second to none! Start booking now. There are only 30 spots total and will be filling up FAST. This is the earlybird chance before we really start to push it, and it will be sold out. Spend an extra day or two to fish the Situk for Steelhead, maybe some Sockeye at the lower end of the river.... who knows 1-866-GBLODGE.

It looks like we have a deal. I will be the MC, bon vivant, etc. (For you steelheaders, Bon Vivant is a fancy term for fish liar.) The only part of the negotiations still under discussion is the dancing girls. I am insisting they pass a DNA test. So far we are not in agreement.

You will be required to start the derby day off and be the MC at weigh-in and do the MC work at night in the bar, what testing you perform on the dancers is your business!

It is shaping up to be a blast, I hope some of the board members can make it up, I would love to get the board press for someone here winning one of the top prizes!

Also, remember Dave, after the boats head out, we can run to the river and jerk heads the rest of the day! Maybe I'll ship my sled up there so we can run up river like that Arse Hole you met! LOL

That would be awesome. my dream is to fish the Situk in a sled. If we see that guy can I run over him?

if no sled, maybe we can get Michelle to take us out.

Reading the prize list, I think any decent angler can pay for his trip with the winings. I assume I am precluded?

yeah, I know I fail the decent angler part.

I'm stoked. Bought my ticket today. Nuttin better than a day on the Situk followed by a night at the GBL bar.

It's shapinig up to be a really good time. Master of Ceremonies Dave Vedder will make it fun and maybe informative. He should be getting practiced up this winter to be able to atleast turn a Steelie's head this May in the Situk. Anxious to see you guys this spring!

Mr. Vedder already has his airplane ticket and I am sure sorting out what jigs he is taking up.
I hope some of you PP'ers are going to come up and join in and win one of the big prizes!

KK, Stam, Yak, Sol--You guys need to be there, I would love to have Dave hand you one of those prizes!

Some of you guys need sign up for our derby in May.
It now looks like we are going to have another record run of Steelhead next year.
What better fishing trip can you have? Ocean derby fishing for Halibut and evenings or mornings hooking Steelhead!

Hate to burst your bubble, but here are the real dancers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1fowC01e-8&feature=related

That was supposed to be a secret!
I think that was KK in the back with the brown jacket and I am sure Dave was on the camera!
Everything looks better with alcohol.

I bet there will be a school or two of sockeye at the lower end! What a Memorial Day BBQ! I'd stay a few extra days to limit on sockeye and catch a half dozen steelhead too!
