Listen to Joel Shangle and the gang from KJR's Northwest Wild Country this Saturday morning to hear information about this derby. Joel will be live at the derby on Sept 6th

Third prize --a set of steak knives

Fourth prize--Your Fired

I think you will find that our cash prizes are higher than the other derbies except the two day affairs at Roche and Anacortes...and our fourth prize is pretty big.....no steak knives...Plus two boats are going to be given away at our derby..........and it is all in your backyard!!!

I just picked up another great prize from Salmon University and Scotty.

Scotty 1106 Electric Downrigger
60 inch extendable boom
Pedestal and swivel mount

Lots more to come !

A check of ticket sales this weekend showed an increase in interest and lots of tickets sold so far. We are a little over a month away and it looks like tickets will sell out in advance again.

Classic Rock & Roll @ both locations (sorry no rap)

IMPORTANT:

The following people bought derby tickets at Boater's World in Bellevue and were given the wrong end of their ticket:

Mike Allred....#0670
Dave Boberg...#0671
Mickey Pease...#0672
Jack Breeze...#0673
Randy Antonio..#0674
Trinity Antonio..#0675

You all need to go back to Boater's World Bellevue and give them the large end of your ticket and exchange it for the small stub which is your proof of purchase and will be needed to weigh in a fish and/or win a prize.

If anyone knows these people please pass this along to them

Does anyone know if there will be temproary moorage available at the Marina during the weigh in & ceremony?
I would like to do the derby with my, but would be coming from and returning to Camano by water.

Got my 4 tickets today at Boaters World Bellevue for me and the crew. Got the right end unlike above. I am bringing the lucky wife.

Next Year, you can tie up in Edmonds, get your fish weighed and hang around for the ceremonies then take off. Shouldn't be a problem. Be prepared to raft up though. Might not be as bad this year because fish can be weighed in Everett and there is temp moorage available there too.

Lots of people tie up in the Edmonds Marina during the ceremony but as Mike said it is a popular marina..especially on derby day. Contact the Port of Edmonds and they can set you up with a slip outside of the guest moorage area if you act now.

Mike...I talked to the folks at Boaters World Bellevue and faxed them some more complete instructions . I am glad they got you set up right.

Breaking news:

The Port of Edmonds and City of Edmonds with the cooperation of the Edmonds Police Dept have agreed to waive the 3 hour limit for street parking on Admiralty Way the day of the derby only..that means parking along the street outside the Edmonds Marina will be available all day. Boats that launch at the Port of Edmonds will be able to park in the large gravel lot. The lot is usually reserved for trailers only but those who launch at Edmonds will be able to keep their boats on their trailers and still park in this lot during the awards ceremonies. Weigh in ends at 2pm and the big grand finale ceremony gets underway at 4pm...this delay will allow derby particiapants weighing in at the Bayside Marine facility in Everett to get to the ceremony in time. Many of those who do launch in Everett will have time to take their boats home if they choose and travel by car to Edmonds for the festivities after weighing in their fish.

Breaking News

Anthonys Restaurants (Where Fishermen Eat) is going to be at the derby giving away their famous chowder for free...after the weigh in while you are waiting for the awards ceremonies to get going have a cup of chowder on Anthonys

By the way the ticket sales are picking up.....don't dilly dally

Thanks for your information. I am not interested in this field, but my friends are really interested in such things. I'll let them know about this, so that they can receive tickets earlier.

If the ceremonies start at 4pm, I hope it starts on time and moves along pretty fast.

Glad to see you are "IN" Mike ! We want to make sure the guys checking big fish in at the Everett weigh can make it to Edmonds for the Awards. We plan to start promptly and keep it short and sweet. Anthonys also donated over $600 in gift certificates today !

Hope you are in the money !

What Spud said.....in the past few years with the weigh in exclusively at Edmonds we still didn't start ceremonies until 3:00PM or so. We also have the two boats to give away which takes some additional time but I would say that is going to be worth the wait. Our derby participants have a better than ever chance to win this year.

Three Rivers Marine and Tackle now has Edmonds Coho Derby Tickets for sale........

Spud and Griz I know about the Everett weigh in (excellent idea). I just want to get to that drawing and win a boat. Looking forward to the derby. This is one I never try to miss. See you guys there. Thanks. Mike

I just picked up over $2700 worth of prizes from Silver Horde. Katch Koolers, Flasher Bags, Flashers, Spoons and Plugs will be all loaded up in 20 Boat Totes as prize packs.
