Nelson Goodsell aka SPUD, captain of the Fishtale Ii, is on KJR's Northwest Wild Country show this morning talking about the Edmonds Coho Derby. My daughter is getting married today but I will be listening.

The ticket buying frenzy is in full swing....I shuttled tickets around to Boaters World in Tukwila and BW in Bellevue who both had already sold out....Don't wait too long

Also new this year is our live internet-based leaderboard. These leaderboards will be constantly updated from Edmonds and Everett as the fish are weighed. This way your granny in New Jersey can watch your standings

I've already heard of some upper-teens fish this year, and spotty reports of limit fishing in the inner sound.

Amazingly few coho being caught in puget sound this year. Check out last week.

http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/creel/puget/aug25-31-2008/central.html

For that matter, only this week did they start getting about 1 coho/person out at CQ.

It took a couple months to fill a tiny 2000 coho quota out in area 4.

Odd.

I know of one 13LB fish that was caught the other day. Honestly, regardless of the reports, we are all on a level playing field as far as what is available out there. Me, I am out there for the fun.

The weather looks great and someone will win $5000 and someone will win a $60,000 boat....and more....and it will be fun...

Tony Floor is going to be the cohost on KJR's Wild Country this Saturday at 6-8am with Joel Shangle.....I don't know that I have ever seen Tony at 6am...tune in to KJR 950AM on derby day

Oudoor Emporium just loaded me up with over $1200 in gift certificates and
other great prizes for the Awards Ceremony.

Ticket sales are brisk to say the least......don't wait too much longer !

I think we are looking at a sell out by tomorrow mid day...I will know when we gather all the remaining tickets

Thanks to PP for letting us keep this information coming...Very much appreciated.

I thought that the Everett Coho Derby was the last stop for the Northwest Salmon Derby Series ?

Did it change this year or am I confused?................
