"We have a good nucleus of fish- ermen," said Kaempf, adding that their strong support was especially evident considering the poor weath- er. Kaempf thanked the sponsors, calling them the cornerstone of the derby. "They're people who believed in us, not only their money helped, but their moral support. He thanked supporters for believ- ing a derby was possible in Grand Bend, even though it is generally recognized the best salmon fishing grounds are further south around Kettle Point. "There's a feeling among Grand Bend natives that the fish are out there," said Kaempf, echoed by a round of laughter in the room. Plans for 1990's Salmon Derby start in just two weeks, and Kaempf said that early hopes are to,tie the event in with the Blue Water An- glers so that as their derby ends the Grand Bend contest begins. The idea is that a longer event spanning two weekends instead of one runs a better chance of encountering favor- able weather. This year, the fishing on the sec- ond day of the five-day derby was completely ruined by high winds. The top award of S 1,000 for catching a 15.71 Ib salmon went to Norm Aitken of London. The S600 second prize was awarded to Randy Keene, also of <London, for his 14.35 Ib catch. Thirdze of $300 was garnered by a 14.02 Ib salmon caught by Ron Rupert of Grand Bend .. Another 11 donated prizes were awarded to the fourth to 15th place winners. Rods and reels went to the top fish of the day winners and other prizes to those who caught fish closest to the day's mystery weight. The derby was also able to raffle off a variety of fishing -related prizes to those with entry tickets. Zickets were sold for a draw on an outboard motor, which was won by Anthony Stump of London.
