I would like to extend my thanks to the people and businesses for their generous donations for the 5th Annual Surf Perch Derby held at Guadalupe Beach.

This year's Derby was a huge success. Without these businesses donations for this event, it would not have been so successful.

Thanks to Alex Lopez, H&R Block, Local Copies, Joe Paul Garcia Century 21 Real Estate, Santa Maria Chamber of Commerce, Spencer's Fresh Markets, SLO Sports Therapy, Lompoc Fishing Supplies & Service, Patriot Sportfishing and Saturn of Santa Maria Car Wash.

Thanks to the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve for letting us put this event on and to the fishermen, women and children who participated and Mike Spence and Joe Felker for their help.

To all of you who made this possible, I say thank you.

Keith Diamond

Tournament director
