There Is Still Time

San Diego's International Yellowtail Derby

May 15, 2015

THERE'S STILL TIME -- Will you be fishing the San Diego waters before June 8? San Diego's International Yellowtail Derby is a World Class fishing tournament reminiscent of San Diego's famous Yellowtail Derby of the '50s and '60s. The Derby is for 35 days, but anglers can fish for only one day or all the remaining days through June 7. All participants have a chance to win the big prizes because the biggest fish wins! The Derby is open to both private boaters and individual anglers who will fish aboard the famous San Diego Open Party Fleet. Miss Yellowtail Derby and the chair John Campbell hope to see you there.

Miss Yellowtail Derby - Tiera Hanes

You may see an addition of a YT caught by Charles Wittenberg last weekend, I missed his email with his weigh slip, which I found after he reminded me he has sent it in.

The Yellowtail section continues to fill up. Expect to see more Halibut and White Seabass weigh slips.

Recommend you send in your Weekend catch slips, a smaller fish could be a winner on the weekend

Tight Lines,
