My union (ILWU#24) is having our third annual Steve Peters Memorial Fishing Derby. The derby will be October 8th, 9th, and 10th. The derby cost is $25.00 and $15.00 for children 16 and under. This is for the whole derby not a daily fee. Half the proceeds go to our Relay For Life team, and the other half goes to a scholarship fund. There will be daily prizes for largest fish of both types (king & Coho). There will be a prize for both the biggest king and silver of the entire derby. Last years prize was $500.00 first place $300.00 second place. There will be a BBQ following Saturdays and Sundays event. Donations are gladly being accepted for the BBQ and or prizes for the kids. Tickets are available via The ILWU Credit Union located at the end of John Stevens road, the road to 28th Street launch. This is a really good derby, lots of good people, good fishin, and a great Salmon BBQ to top it off. I got put in charge of all donations this year. Hopefully lots of people will donate little prizes for the kids. A prize for each kid is nice, fish or no fish. Well I hope you can join us for this years derby. You can email me with any questions you may have.

Thanks,
