What’s happening at the 2023 Striper Derby?

• All new location: The 2023 Lake Havasu Striper Derby has moved to a new location.  The home of the 2023 Lake Havasu Striper Derby partners with the all new Riuviera Marina.  Registration and weigh-ins will be held at the new marina.  Discount rates available.
• Big Fish High Roller’s optional: Throw in an additional $100 on top of your all-inclusive $275 team entry fee and be included in the new High Roller’s optional for a shot at a big payday for the three heaviest striped bass in the division.
• General Big Fish payouts down to 5^th place: Whereas in previous years the general Big Fish payouts went to the 3 biggest overall fish at Striper Derby, payouts will now go out to the anglers catching the 5 largest fish of the event.
• Multiple teams on one boat: Back again for 2023, more than one team may fish the Derby from the same boat – including but not limited to one-angler “teams,” which will also now be allowed at Striper Derby.
• One-division team competition: Striper Derby will consist of one, lone division including every registered team, with prizes and trophies going to the top-10 finishers of the event.
• All Teams Must weigh-in by boat: All tournament fish must be presented to the scales via boat ONLY at Havasu Riviera Marina.  No walk-in or drive-in fish will be accepted by tournament staff!
• All “BIG FISH” submissions: All big fish presented for top 5 Big Fish prizes or money, must be filmed at time of landing said fish.  Cell phone video proof of that fish must be accompanied to verify the time and day the fish was landed. Video proof is required before the award show begins.

Western Outdoor News and the city of Lake Havasu are proud to be hosting the 41st anniversary of the Lake Havasu Striper Derby this coming May 6-7, 2023.

The Striper Derby festivities kick off on Friday afternoon May 5th at the team check-in, held at Havasu Riviera Marina. Havasu Riviera Marina will be hosting all anglers and family members at a special appreciation meal curtsy of Loco’s Tacos during registration hours from 4 pm until 6:30 pm. Tacos start at 4:00 until 6:00 PM.  Teams will check in during this time, and they may purchase additional event T-shirts, make partner changes and enter the blind bogie and big fish options if not already entered. Late sign-ups will also be taken at this time. After check-in, a brief Captain’s Meeting will take place to go over event rules and weekend activities for first time entrants.

The entry fee is $175 per team and it includes your basic entry and chance to win tackle prizes, trophies and many other certificates, including your Striper Derby hat and T-shirts for both team members. Most people enter the great options, which are $40 each day for the the blind bogeys. The General Big Fish Option is $20 per team and goes into the pool to be paid out to the five biggest stripers caught during the tournament based on 1st (35%), 2nd (20%) 3rd (20%) 4th (15%) 5th (10%). So for only $275 your team is “ALL IN.” This year there is the “HIGH ROLLER” entry, which puts those choosing to lay down another $100 into a separate TOP 3 Big Fish pool to be paid back on to the angler with the 1st (50%), 2nd (30%), 3rd (20%) biggest fish based on the number of anglers entered into the pool. The ever popular “BLIND BOGEY” contest running on both Saturday and Sunday is a fun way to win some random cash at the event . The $40 entry cost for each day goes into the blind bogey fund and gives the team a chance at winning a share of the random blind bogey weights. So whatever sized striper you catch, bring it in and weigh it and you might just be a cash winner, too.

Mark the date for this year’s event on your calendar and plan to attend the largest, most lucrative striped bass fishing event in the United States. The sun, fun, and festivities await you and your family.
