There is no limit on ticket sales and tickets will be on sale until late Friday afternoon Oct 11th.

There has been lots of interest so there should be a great 1st place $$$$$.

I've fished the last three days and there are lots of fish out there, like the ones shown in High Five photo.

Get your tickets.

The rules for fishing are DFO regulations. You can fish from Victoria to Point No Point, sunrise to 1430 hrs. Weigh in is at Jock's Dock in Sooke.
There is no Web site.

Coho fishing was slow slow slow yesterday. We only hooked up 1/3 as many times as we did the days before and from what I heard on the radio and saw at the dock most had the same luck.

There is no web site and no on line ticket sales.

I talked with the Crab Shack yesterday and he said that on the day of the derby (prior to 730 am) ticket will be available at the Crab Shack Hut at Jocks Dock. Someone will be there or if they are not, there will be envelopes at the door for you to place your funds in, along with a paper for you to write your name on and also place it in the same envelope and then slide it under the Crab Shack door.

I bought a ticket yesterday at Island Outfitters - $25.00 (not $30.00) There is an option to buy a side bet, but no info on what it costs.

You got a discount at $25.

Tickets are $30

I understand there is a side bet which cost and extra $20. When purchasing your ticket there is a small box that gets check off on your ticket if you supply the extra $20.

A limited amount of Sooke Coho Derby Tickets are available at:

- Eagle Eye Wilderness and the Crab Shack in Sooke
- Wise-Buys Fishing Supplies in Colwood.
- Island Outfitters in Victoria.

If you need to finding out what is working to catch Coho, ask at any of the above stores when picking up your tickets. They all can help and probably have the require gear in stock.

Good Luck

If you win a prize and you have supplied your name and phone # they will contact you and arrange for a prize pick-up.

Fishing for the last three days has been great. Lots of action and all boats are catching numerous good size Coho.

High 5, your son may be in for some serious competition. My 4 year old says "game on!"

Looks like great weather and great fishing.
Good way to spend a day with the family. I will have 3 generations on board.

I will be there tomorrow

I'm considering entering, I've never launched my boat out at Sooke before and I am not familiar with the boat launch parking situation. I always go to cheanu marina. Will Sooke be a gong show tomorrow trying to launch my boat. Do they have good size parking lots. I am assuming it's going to be very busy. Is the boat launch easy to find? Thanks
