2008 DERBY
Aug 9th - 17th

It's our 53rd year, and you could win $10,000...or a fishing trip to Costa Rica... or how about bringing in the $50,000 tagged fish! 

In late summer each year, Resurrection Bay fills with tens of thousands of Silver Salmon and the city of Seward and the Conference and Visitors Bureau prepare for the Silver Salmon Derby held in August.

 
One of the oldest and largest fishing derbies in the State, Seward’s Derby is equally popular with locals, other Alaska residents, and visiting anglers from around the nation and world.

Entrants simply purchase a daily or season Derby ticket, and may enter their fish caught from shore or from a boat. For anglers with a boat, Seward provides two boat launch areas located at the harbor. For our boat-less visitors, try one of the dozens of professional charter services available for hire for half day or full day excursions.


TICKET SALES  

Derby tickets go on sale Friday night for early birds.  See us at Derby Headquarters (across from the B-Dock fish cleaning station) between 6PM and 10 PM to pick yours up.  Early birds remember that you MUST have your tickets validated Saturday morning before you leave the harbor!   

Saturday morning, ticket sales begin at 5:30 AM at the Headquarters and sales locations around Seward.  Wherever you launch, we're there to be sure you have a ticket before you go.

Daily tickets are $11, tickets for the full event are $52.  Proceeds from the Coho turned in support Fish Enhancement programs benefitting stocks in Resurrection Bay.
