Rockfish Derby 2014 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lamb · 04-06-2014, 11:21 AM

Sorry I missed the after party. My crew was worn out; I was on my way there then had to turn around to take care of some family unplanned stuff.

Conditions were not great, but manageable. Fishing was tough for us - we caught a bunch of rockfish, but just couldn't seem to connect with any biggens. 2ish # was the biggest we could manage. 5 short lingcod (ugh...), and we could not connect with any goats or ocf... We were surprised we ended up in the money.

Thanks Neil and everyone else involved in making this tourney a success.
Team Sewer - class act!

Congrats George and all other winners!

Big thanks to all who participated and helped this tournament for a great cause!!

So more importantly since this was a benefit event, HOW much was raised for HOW between the shirt sales and the event?

Even Jorge has a PA? I still haven't figured out how to get one on top of my van by myself yet. My workouts are helping, but I still don't think I am ready to lift one of those by myself.

Look at the you tube video using the canoe/Kayak boat loader assist yakima. I've been loading and unloading the PA14 by myself after getting that on my scion xb. That extended bar really helps and quite sturdy.

I arrived at the launch by 4:30 am. Matt was already set up for everyone to sign in. By the time I landed around 3pm, Matt was still there to sign people out and weigh their fish.

I was impressed with stinky Matt how he sacrificed his time to make everyone feel welcomed. How many hours did you sleep that Friday night Matt? Good Job Matt!!!

Drake...your the man thank you!!! and many others at the launch that morning.
