This year we are doing a before and after tournament instead of a summer long derby! Here’s how it works we will have two days of fishing one the beginning of summer and another the end of summer early fall! Fish will be measured and recorded on both days. Longest combined measured fish wins first place overall, while longest first day and longest second day also wins prizes! So potentially 3 chances to win, but if you don’t fish the first date, you can still join and fish second date! More details coming soon contact 617-782-2614
