GREATER WHITTIER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Halibut Derby: May 1 to September 15 at 9:00pm
One of two fish derbies the Greater Whittier Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring this summer, the Halibut Derby starts May 1 and goes through September 15. The daily entry fee is $10, weekly $30 and $100 for the season. The Halibut Derby will be based on a slot limit weight. Due to recent regulation changes and concerns of a declining halibut population the Greater Whittier Chamber has decided to go with a slot limit fish from 45 – 65 pounds. The closest weight to a randomly drawn weight between 45 and 65 pounds, whether it is greater than or less than, the random draw weight, will determine the prizewinners.
All fish entries will be weighed at the weigh-in station, located at Fee’s Custom Seafoods on the Whittier Harbor Triangle, daily between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Derby tickets and regulations are available at businesses around Whittier. There are monthly prize drawings. Anyone that has purchased a ticket is eligible for those drawings.
Silver Salmon Derby: June 1 to September 15 at 9:00pm
The daily entry fee is $10, weekly $30 and $100 for the season that includes both salmon and halibut. A jackpot for the heaviest fish will be awarded at the end of the season. Weigh-in location and hours are the same as for the Halibut Derby. Tickets and regulations are available from Whittier businesses.
