Nice to read that you will be participating as we appreciate all of the support.

Just back from a PSA Gig Harbor board meeting and one of our members who works at Pt. Defiance Marina reported there have been some nice fish (low 20s) caught in the last couple of days.

In addition to the weigh-in prizes there will be a derby ticket raffle/ drawing to include a couple of really special prizes.

Be sure to deposit your ticket in the bin and if you bought on line be sure to exchange your Paypal receipt for a ticket to deposit. You must be present to win!

As additional inducements there are two special ticket drawing prizes; a Lowrance unit courtesy of Salt Patrol and a Sitka trip (air fare not included) donated by Fish Baranof.

And the club member with the biggest fish will win a trip to East Cape, Baja courtesy of Van Wormer Resorts.

Buy a ticket and show up for the award ceremony scheduled to start at 4:00 P.M. at Point Defiance Marina (be sure to exchange your Paypal receipt for a ticket at the beginning of the ceremony).

Also keep in mind that buying a ticket puts you in the pool for the Northwest Salmon Derby Series' drawing for a fully outfitted Weldcraft boat.

Better odds than buying Lotto tickets even if you can't fish the Derby!!

Biggest fish weighed was 24.98# and it was caught by a PSAGH member so he won the 1st place prize money plus a trip to Los Barilles thanks to Van Wormer Resorts. And, yes, there were some pretty wet fishermen thanks to an early morning downpour. (rain gear....don't need no stinkin' rain gear (yea, right)).

Thank you to all who participated and to all of the sponsors who helped make this another successful event! Hope to see you all next year.
