[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 54808, member: 1351"] Another tip to keep in mind...and I am not spilling any secrets here so relax..haha. Tourney committee members mentions the same thing on the radio promoting it..take a look at your ticket(picked mine up yesterday)...look at the fishing prizes as it may sway your decision what species of fish to target and what portion of the derby boundaries and what rod and tackle to start with. This year for example...2nd place northern is a 2016 Ford 150 ext cab.., 1st place perch is a hard shell fish house and 4th place walleye is an ATV. I think they ball park about 4000 fisherpersons actually on the lake each year...depending on the cold and wind..I think they sell something like 16,000 tickets so the vast majority buy just for the raffle prizes. I have done my share of volunteering for this event every year so if any of you fellow NDA'ers have questions, I think I can answer most of them...hail them my way..hahaha I think there are like 200plus volunteers that help in one way or another to pull this thing off.
