Little update for this event yall. We are going to meet at 7am instead of 8am so that people can get to their spots earlier and get going. Sign ins will be over shortly after 8am and we will take off fishing. Please make it within that window to allow for ample time. Another matter to keep in mind is fishing bait areas and spots. It is best to make sure that you are familar with areas before event as many participants do not have time to take people to bait spots and fishing spots during tournament hours. If there are any questions in regards to such thing please ask before derby starts. Local areas for bluegills are Weist lake, Sunbeam lake, and a few other local drains up and down the 111 or 115 vacinity. Flathead zones are the Alamo, Coachella, Highline, and all American. Channels are also in the All American, highline, and Coachella as well as sunbeam, weist, and finney lake. It is always good to have goldfish on hand and they can be purchased at Zendejas hardware in Calipatria or Mainline in El Centro. Or you can bring your own goldfish from local areas near your home. Size of goldfish is not always big at zendejas but Mainline mormally has nice size goldfish. Be aware that Tilapia is not allowed in the IV areas for bait. Bluegill, carp, goldfish, and shiners are allowed as well as crayfish.

Hope this help some in regards to the tournament and remember 7am is the sign up time. 8am will still remain weigh in time on Sunday morning,
