2010 Ice Fishing Derby

13th ANNUAL
2010 ICE FISHING DERBY
 

It's derby time again!  Get ready for the 13th annual 2010 Soldotna Trustworthy Ice Fishing Derby.  We got a late start on the ice this year but it's here now and it looks good just about any where you want to go on the peninsula.  We are looking foward to another record year this year.  Last year we had a huge variety of fish entered and some of the heaviest in a couple of catagories.  That was do to contestants really putting in some time to get out there to find that big one.  So come in to the store and sign up and then go get your big one! 
 
We will once again have an incredable amount of prizes for this years derby.  Our vendors have stepped up as sponsors and provided thousands of $$$ in prizes and sponsorships.
Some of the grand and first place prizes include an Eskimo power auger and Quickfish II ice shelter.  Aqau View has provided an under water camera.  And of course we will have hundreds of rods reels and other exciting prizes.

Girls Love Fishing too!

Remember to get the kids out fishing too.  We will be giving out fishing bags to the children under 12 as they sign.  Every child gets a prize from the prize box or a trusty buck every time they weigh in a fish.  This will be sponsored in part by Berkley, Eagle Claw, and Gamakatsu.  We will also have the 12th Annual Kids derby which mimics the open derby but the prizes are oriented towards the little ones.
 
Leaders have been known to change several times in a single day and then followed by a week of few if any changes at all. Then another flurry of shuffling the leader board until the final gun goes off on February 28th. This year's prize list is as extensive as any of the others and still hasn't been completely finalized yet. And as always the derby is free to anyone wishing to enter and participate. There are a number of RULES which must be adhered to for qualifying catches.  Make sure you check out all those details on the RULES page.

Get those kids bundled up and out on the lakes for some fishing. Trustworthy will again have a MINI DERBY event out on SPORT LAKE on this coming SATURDAY, February 6th, where they will provide fishing holes and gear for kids to try their hand at catching the landlocked chinook and stocked rainbow trout in the lake where the biggest fish will win a prize. They will also have an Aqua Vu camera system in the water to watch fish roaming the area. Its a great little outing for just a few hours on that day. Contact Trustworthy at 262-4655 as to when the event will be held.
