| Ok Here goes.
I have cleared the Cod derby Idea with the Danversport Harbormaster
and have his permission.
We are looking at donating all proceeds from the derby to the Shriners
Childrens Hospital, So the more entries the better. This is turning
into a fundraiser. Anyone who wishes to donate all or part of their
catch to help may be able to do so. I have a commerical Lic. so
we can bring the fish to the Co-op after the derby. Donating your
fish is not a requirement but a lot of people catch more than they
will use and this way it wont go to waste.
Here are some rules and info on the derby.

additional "Free" parking at the elementry school accross

| Due to the overwelming reponse to this Idea, I am going to detlete
this note and the whole araingement if there is no positive feedback
from anybody within a week.
So far some of the responses I have recived indicate that Cod is
not a fish worthy of our talents as anglers, also others say that
they would rather fish bluefish? still others find the salt water
to be to much for them to handle.
I'll leave this up for Ideas and vote's ???????

| Hey Walt...
Those who deride the almighty COD are probably those who's idea
of fishing is following the hatchery truck looking for fresh trout.

| Walt, it might be a lack of people having a boat to get out on the
ocean. I my self don't have a boat that could go out if the winds were
more than 10 knots. Other than that I would love to get in the tourney.

| Oh? Maybe I should have mentioned for those of you not familier
with the area to be fished. There are harbor islands that protect
the Beverly/Salem area from the open ocean. Quite often you will
find small boats ie: 12 ft and up fishing the inner island area.
Iv'e fished this in 12 ft alum 16 ft bowrider and many others. It
is very protected. Even small boats are available for rent at the
salem willows in summertime 14 ft I believe?
I can photocopy a chart of the area for anyone interested

| 1068.8 | Interested but on the road alot lately | KUDZU::BRIERLEY | One good tern deserves another | Wed Apr 05 1989 16:34 | 5 |
| I am interested too, with the following codas: I do not have a boat
and I do not have any saltwater fishing gear. Other than that I
would love to join you.

| 1068.9 | Now that you mention it... | MERIDN::KPHILLIPS | | Fri Apr 07 1989 12:19 | 10 |
| In light of reply .7, I am interested. I didn't consider it at first,
figuring that cod fishing from a 14ft aluminum boat wouldn't cut it.
The question now is wether or not my father-in-law would be
interested (it's his boat!).
I'll check and get back.

| 1068.10 | What's the date? | MONGUS::DUFFY | I'm the NRA LIFE MEMBER | Fri Apr 07 1989 12:23 | 4 |
| I'm definitely interested, I have the boat and the
family love the idea, when I mentioned it to them.

| 1068.11 | Not every idea comes to be. | PACKER::GIBSON | | Mon Apr 10 1989 11:38 | 10 |
| As mentioned in an eariler note, the intrest in this derby is not
overwhelming. Therefore I am going to scrap the idea for a derby.
Maybe next year? maybe not.
All who have asked for charts of the area, I will send them to you
anyway. and those of you who offered to help. Thanks.

| 1068.12 | Is it totally dead? | FINSER::KPHILLIPS | | Thu Apr 13 1989 16:36 | 9 |
| Even if there's not enough interest in a derby, would anyone be
interested in getting together that day and fish that area?
Possibly do some fishing, have a picnic, and share some stories?
I'm not big on competition when it comes to fishing, but I sure
would enjoy some company to share a day fishing.

| 1068.13 | Just one minor little problem | VICKI::DODIER | | Fri Apr 14 1989 07:50 | 5 |
| Just speaking for myself, I'm always eager to do some salt water
fishing. It's just that having only a canoe right now tends to limit
me to party boats/surf casting.

| What was the day people were going to be down there? Capt Cod just got the
new Grady, and Walt's down there anyway, and I'll probably be in the area.
Maybe .-2 is a good idea. Bruce, Walt?

| Hi Joe.
The date was June 3 Sat. I suppose we could all just get together for
a day's fishing and fish fry after? or whatever.
We tried to get Bruces new Grady yesterday, Not Yet?! But I'll let him
tell the story.
Ray. I have some room on my boat if you want to come along.
