Post by WON BASSIN »

Someone will WIN a FREE BOAT in our Grand Raffle at the Lake Havasu Western Outdoor News Striper Derby!

Dear fishermen and friends

For 27 years, Western Outdoor News has been hosting the most popular striper fishing event in the world, and it's back again this year. This is the event that is ithe perfect get-a-way for families and long time fishing buddies in sunny Lake Havasu, Arizona. There is no place quite like it in May each year, as we are almost always greeted with perfect weather and a lot of hungry striped bass in the lake to cacth. This year should not be an exception based on recent reports.

WON will be hitting the Havasu heat on May 14th-15th to dole out a plethora of prizes and fun in the sun, to the hundreds of participants certain to make the annual trip. We have a division and prizes for just about everyone, with an adult division, women's and even a boy and girl children's division. We also raffle away and award a ton of prizes in raffles, blind bogey cash prizes, and the grand prize of a a boat and motor is given away in a raffle. So anyone can win it you enters!

If last year’s Striper Derby provided any indication of the popularity of the annual tournament in terms of both angling appeal and prize packages, this year’s event — slated for Saturday and Sunday, May 14th and 15th — stands to be bigger than ever.

With an impressive array of sponsors donating prizes covering every facet of the angling arena and beyond, in addition to cash awards for the Saturday and Sunday Blind Bogey Contest, it goes without saying that anglers, both new and returning, stand to find success both on and off the water.

And in terms of angling productivity, the Striper Derby always taps into the best action of the entire year at Lake Havasu. Last year’s Derby kicked out a record-setting fish in the form of a 31.12-pound lineside by the team of Randall Copeland and Mike Alvarado. The 34-lb striper pictured below was just caught this week by George Lloyd while trolling a Lucky Craft Pointer 128 on Lake Havasu. The fishing and the weather is usually hot at Lake Havasu this time of year so come on out and join in on the fun!
