Anybody got tickets yet?  There are still some, at $75 a pop.  And the campground is full for the weekend, dammit.
I decided to go this year for the first time, but waited too long to make camping reservation.  A number of the fish
shown on Youtube from last year's Derby looked pretty dark. What has been your experience there???  Did you limit?
Were any of the fish bright??

I fished there a number of times in the early days of this derby.  Heck, I organized it one year.  You're more than likely to catch 10 dark fish to 1 bright one over labor day weekend.  Maybe on a better year you might have 5:1.  A lot are snagged because most are tossing jigs.  Some troll spoons though and get better bites.

These fish are schooling at the river mouth and push into the river with the high tide and back out into the bay during low.  They're just waiting for a good rain event to push up higher into the river.

One of these days I'll make it to this Derby...  One of these days...
