Jim,
My donation is coming along. It is a Barred San bass. This is the primer coat so far. This is a raffle prize guys all yours! Can't wait to put a Bitchin airbrush and clearcoat on this baby!
Cheers!

Todd The Palm Fish Guy...

Come and fish the beautiful waters of Cedros Island for just the price of entry and participation in either CCA CAL kayak tournament. Your odds will be really good on this drawing...especially if you fish both tourneys...

For just $60 you will get a ticket on the morning of the tournaments that will put you in a drawing for a trip to Cedros Kayak Fishing with Jeff Marianni.
Airfare is included, as well as all ground transportation in Mexico, meals and drinks (excluding alcohol), guided kayak fishing, Hobie kayak, and accommodations. Jeff is very flexible on the dates you can book for this trip.
The winning ticket will be drawn at the King Harbor event and the winner will be notified.

Here is the view you will see as you approach the airstrip...

The Yellows can be really big at the Salt Factory...and all of Jeffs Outback Hobie kayaks are new and have all the gear on board...Lowrance finders, Hobie bait tanks, gaffs, fish clips, VHF radios...it's all there.

If the wind is up you can always trailer to the calm side of the island.

Where ever you fish on the island you'll probably find a bunch of these guys...

Steve Pinard has generously offered to sponsor two $500 gift cards to Dana Landing as the first place prize for both Battle of the Bays Tournaments.

Regardless of the number of anglers participating in each event we will provide the following prizes for each of the top 4 finishers.

Baja Fish Gear is sponsoring two $250 2nd place gift cards
Sportfishing Financial is sponsoring two $125 3rd place gift cards
Promar/AHI is sponsoring two $75 4th place gift cards.
And the Grand Prize trip to Cedros Kayak Fishing is a drawing for all participants.

We have sponsors offering prizes for biggest sand bass and biggest spotty as well as biggest Halibut. I’ll reveal those details as the dates draw closer.
We are collecting a great list of raffle prizes…as we get nearer the dates I’ll release a few photos of the many items. Most of the top industry manufacturers are joining in this effort to support the Coastal Conservation Association California and have a couple of fun events.

The Battle of the Bays sponsor list is getting to be quite impressive and we haven't even visited with all the exhibitors at the Fred Hall Shows yet.

We have so many sponsors coming on board that I'm starting to make up extra categories such as biggest Halibut, Biggest Sand Bass and Biggest Spotty...we may start making up blind boogy sizes for additional prizes...LOL

We should have a pretty good raffle at each event....and... remember the bucket list Grand Prize 4 day trip to Cedros Kayak Fishing is a drawing just for participating...you don't even have to catch a fish.

We had our first registration on the iAngler site...
Thanks Rob!!

This sounds like it could be a fun tournament.

Question - does the $60 registration allow fishing both tournaments? or is it 60 for each. Flyer wasn't clear on this.

Also, in reading the rules - Big fish side tournament does not include those fish targeted in the regular tournament (and sharks and rays), so that leaves pretty much halibut as a realistic winner (highly doubt barracuda or WSB will be caught). Am I correct on this?

Also no communications of any kind unless I'm calling for rescue - better have the phone in airplane mode, cause if the wife calls it's a disqualification!
