2025 Winter Fishing Derby
Calling all jFishers to join us for our seventh seasonal fishing derby at Sleepy Kitty. The event will start at 12:00, noon, Second Life time and will last for about three and a half hours. Come for all of it, come for part of it, or come to just cheer us on!
You can bring your own chair to rez or use one of the ones provided. We also have bumper boats for those who would prefer to be out on the water (just make sure everything you need is equipped before you board).
New players are also welcome, but given the nature of the competitions, it’s recommended that new players spend some time ahead of the tournament to get their first casting rod.
Event Schedule
Each competition will last for fifteen minutes, with breaks in between for socialization, free fishing, or bio-breaks. You can follow the live schedule that will be updated during the event.
12:00-12:30 – Welcome Ceremony / Meet and Greet
For the first half hour we’ll welcome folks, introduce the event, and give everyone a chance to gear up and socialize ahead of the first competition.
12:30-12:45 – Junk Collecting Contest
Our first competition is to see who can clean up Sleepy Kitty’s beaches the best. Trophy is awarded to whoever drags up the highest total weight of trash (shallow water recommended).
13:00-13:15 – Largest Fish Contest
One that favours our more experienced fishers, the trophy for this one is awarded to whoever can catch the largest individual fish.
13:30-13:45 – Heaviest Catch Contest
A bit of an endurance contest, for this one the trophy is awarded to whoever can catch the most fish in terms of total weight.
14:00-14:15 – Most Fish Contest
Like the last contest, this one also goes out to the person who can catch the most fish, only this time it’s a simple head count.
14:30-14:45 – Rarity Collecting Contest
This one classifies catches at different levels based on rarity: 1 point for common, 5 for rare, 20 for epic, and 50 for legendary. Whoever ends with the highest score wins.
After the last competition ends we ask that anyone who has won a trophy stick around for a group photo, but this is optional, so if you can’t make it, don’t worry.
