Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project

5TH ANNUAL MAMMOTH MONTEREY BAY SALMON DERBY

By Larry Wolf

The Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project again proudly announces their 5th Annual Mammoth All Monterey Bay Salmon Derby to be held July 2nd, 3rd, & 4th. With 6 weigh-in stations, all the Monterey Bay will be open to fishing.

We are again maintaining the same prize categories as last year's format. This year's first place fish by weight will win $1,000. The second place fish by weight will win $500 and the third place fish by weight will win $250. In addition, we will award a daily weight prize worth $50 in cash & prizes. There will be 27 other prizes based on weight. An additional 30 prizes not based on weight, will be awarded to any fish entered into the derby. Last, an additional 10 prizes will be awarded to entrants who did not catch a fish but entered their derby stub at a weight station. We gave away some very nice prizes to those individuals, so it pays to turn in your derby tickets stubs even if you don't catch a fish.

Once again we are giving away a boat and motor donated by West Marine as this year's grand prize raffle. We will be giving away some very nice round of golf at some of our finest local golf courses as well as gift certificates to many fine restaurants.

Derby tickets are priced at $15 per day and $25 for all three days. Each derby ticket includes a free raffle ticket. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased at $5 each. This year's hats and shirts will be on priced at $15 per shirt or hat or $25 for the pair. All proceeds go directly to the hatchery.

Last, we recognize the need to conserve our natural resources. Please keep all legal fish caught. A large portion of fish released do not survive the ordeal.

Tickets will go on sale June 10, 1999 at all Longs Drug Stores in the Monterey Bay area. In addition, tickets may be purchased at West Marine, Ernie's Casting Pond, Outdoor World, Bayside Tackle, Shamrock Charters, Tom's Sportfishing, Chris', Sam's, & Randy's Sport fishing in Monterey and Yagi's Tackle Shop in Watsonville.
