The idea and goal of The Lake Erie FishCrazy Walleye Derby is to create a tournament
that can be won and fished by anyone, and to provide substantial cash prizes, guaranteed
from sponsors, regardless of the number of entries. At the award party we give out
thousands of dollars in CASH prizes and merchandise, ranging from fishing trips from our
area charters to fishing gear from local tackle shops.
To achieve this, we picked two of the best times of the year when Cleveland walleye fishing
is at its best, Spring and Fall Night Bite Seasons, when the big walleyes are in close and
can be caught casting off shore or from the boat not far from shore. We also made the
tournaments into weeks-long derbies so everyone willing has a chance to participate, doing
nothing more then fish as they would normally do these times of year. This also provided
extended coverage to our sponsors and advertisers.
The Derby has been growing in popularity and support over the entire Lake Erie, Ohio
Shores. So much so, that we decided to grow it from the 3 to 6-week Derbies twice a year
to one 7-month Derby from May 01 to November 30, and provide weigh-in stations and
registrars from the Michigan to Pennsylvanian borders so everyone interested can join.
Prior to this year, we held The Derby twice a year in the Spring (April, May) and Fall
(November, December) for 3 to 6 weeks each, before and after the Lake Erie boating
season. The visits on the site during these derbies were: Fall 2007 4-week Derby - 7,000
hits,Spring 2008 6-week Derby - 14,600 hits, Fall 2008 3-week Derby - 8,200 hits, Spring
2009 4-week Derby - 12,600 hits, Fall 2009 4-week Derby - 13,600 hits. Total number of
visits during the 5 months of the first 5 Derbies was 56,000. That's 11,200 average visits
per month, 373 average visits per day.
The new concepts and ideas incorporated for The New Derby will keep it going through the
entire boating season, will expend over the entire Ohio Lake Erie shore, and will keep the
leader boards "LIVE" for the entire duration. The money winners for every week, month and
overall can change from day to day, hour to hour, and up the last minute. This will keep the
excitement going, and the interest up. The increase in the amount of traffic going from the
small derbies to the large one will be very significant! Most importantly, the hits we're
getting are from people who visiting our site intentionally.
