Annual MDR Halibut Derby
The Marina Del Rey Halibut Derby is the oldest and largest Halibut Derby in Southern California. This event is produced by the Marina Del Rey Anglers fishing club and the many volunteers. The derby is how the fishing club raises money for charity. Most of the funds raised goes to support MDRA Youth Fishing Program & White Sea Bass Enhancement Program. MDR Anglers Youth Fishing Committee plans, runs and mans many boat trips each summer. Working to take close to 1,000 kids out on fishing trips each summer. We go out of MDR on the Betty-O. Some are from various youth groups. Some are from inner city organizations. Some are from disadvantaged or special needs programs. When these young people are out on the ocean with a caring volunteer mentor they often see a new side of the world that they live in. Caring adults teaching them a way to play and enjoy nature in a healthy and wholesome way. It can be very special for the mentors as well. It is a great experience to teach a kid to fish.

Rey Halibut Derby (tm)
The 35th Annual Marina Del Rey Halibut Derby held April 4th and 5th 2009 was an outstanding success. We were blessed with fine weather for the event. Plenty of bait was available in the bait receivers. The sun came out. And so did the true fishing loyalists, the real die-hards, the great fishing patriots. They came out despite the bad economy, high fuel prices, and low fish counts. The MDRA Board of Directors salutes these anglers for their support of the 35th Annual Halibut Derby...
The 34th Annual Marina Del Rey Halibut Derby was just held on April 5th and 6th 2008. A big 37.3 pound fish took the lead early and held on for the best fish of the derby.
