Island Outfitters is going to have their Early Bird Ticket Night for this year's Just fot the Halibut Derby on Tuesday, April 8th, at the 6 Mile Pub. There'll be prizes etc. I've never been to one but I hear that they are a ton of fun. They put off the announcement until they were sure that we could fish halibut for the derby. At least it's not cancelled as many salmon derbies are this year. Who's going to the pub on April 8th?
