This year’s Westport Boat Basin Salmon Derby officially kicked off Sept. 15, where everyone can compete for prizes that the whole family can enjoy – from saltwater taffy to meals at local restaurants.
This is a chance for both veteran anglers and first-timers to enjoy the fishing experience together, from Washington’s most accessible spot to catch a salmon, right off the floats in the Westport Marina.
There’s no derby ticket purchase required. The Boat Basin Derby runs through October 31.
This weekend offers a derby within the derby – the Weekend Generational Derby will be held this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5 and 6. Teams of two or more family generations can register for special prizes, but the best prize may be time spent together and creating new family traditions.
