Fished the P A Derby this weekend and made the mistake of putting Saturdays fillets in our coolers in the back of the trucks when we went out Sunday.
Been fishing that for ten years and never an issue but I guess there are now offically "[Bleeeeep!] Pirates" everwhere.
You know the answer by now - returned to empty coolers.
Just saying!!!

This shouldn't be a warning for PA but for everywhere... Lots of people from out of town fishing this derby

By the way, what was the winner (poundage)?

I bet mreyns_tgl knows

That sucks.Good luck,
SZ

Butt Pirates suck........

112 won it I believe

It sure did

tgl power!
local power!
old man power!
1st repeat winner power!

Hells yeah!

OR....just place a couple cans of Spanish Tuna in your cooler and NOTHING will take your fish...NOTHING....Frickin dirt bags!

Bummer dude.


That happened to a guy in Neah up from Oregon. Lost a lot of fish.


No matter where it happens it sure sucks.

Congrats to you and your dad, Mark!

Thanks AP and brad

WTG, Mark!! Very cool!

There may be so good news to come from this as I have been contacted by Clallam County Sheriff!! Will keep you posted.

Oh yes and we had a big money fish get off on Saturday too! It was a series of firsts for this derby!
Fished 10 years and been in the money 6 times - twice with two fish from our boat!
Congratulations to Jeff on his 112! Not quite as big as his 154 winner from 2004 but P A POWER!
Can you say home field advantage?

So it's official - some of Clallam County's best have our fillets in their evidence freezer! A little paper work and there should be a re-uniting.
I really want to extend a big THANK YOU to them! What were the chances? R W B

Way to go Mark!!

Beezer

NICE!!!

Awesome.


Glad it worked out in your favor.

Did they say who the Chit Birds were????

Officer Mike Backas needs a little more help from the fishing public on this issue. He has several other items recovered from the dirt bag that he needs someone to identify. So if you lost items on Sunday in the Boat Haven area or? in PA you should contact the Clallam County Sheriff and let them know what it was. Maybe we can get enough to bag the dirt bag.
Recovered items are pretty much what you'd expect to see taken from a fishing/boating community. There was also Olive Green cooler (minus it's lid) with a 373rd Battalion written on it. So if you know something or are missing stuff give them a call.
