Sandbar Classic Fishing Derby

Description

The 2023 Sandbar Classic Fishing Derby will be held on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at Hosmer's Marina. The annual tournament coincides with the start of Ogdensburg's Seaway Festival and draws over 100 anglers each year.

Adult anglers can register for $20 and can fish for the following species – bass, walleye, northern pike and perch. Registration will begin on July 10th during normal business hours at Hosmer's Marina in Ogdensburg. The first 75 anglers will receive a free t-shirt.

There will be a youth division for bass, northern pike, walleye and perch. Registration for youth (16 and under) is only $10. Youth can also choose to register for the adult division if they choose.

Each angler can only submit one fish from each of the categories. Each fish entered will be weighed and its length recorded. Winners will be determined by weight. If a tie, the length will determine the winner. You may bump your own fish and fish must be alive when weighed in.

Fishing for the Classic will be on the St. Lawrence River only. All weighing of fish will take place at Hosmer’s Marina from 8:00am until 3:00pm. The tournament will end at 3:00pm when the winners will be announced, and the trophies and prizes will be awarded.
