Kayak's with trolling motor don't qualify I assume?

I'm on the fence. Looks like a good excuse to go fishing

Take your yak out to Mission or SD Bay and get used to the feeling of it.. Take no or as little as possible gear so you can practice entry and re-entry (it's that time of year, water and air temps are decent enough you may enjoy the dip).. Yes, literally flop or jump out of your kayak in water and see what it takes you to get back in, therefore if it happens in open water, you are prepared.. After a day or 2 of farting around on a new kayak, most are comfortable with how they perform then from there the world is your oyster my man.. Most probably will not take you up on your offer to fish this sunday but don't let that deter you... Get out there, get you and your kayak wet and soon enough you will be pulling up fish on her... Time on the water is key my man, safety first then fun from there..

Am I required to attend the captains meeting? All vacation time is used up so I would make it to camp at night on Friday.

What is the last day to sign up?

Iceman · 06-17-2017, 06:09 AM

Beto, the Captains meeting is required as you would get the camera that is required along with instructions to adhere to the tournament rules and guidelines.

I think this has the potential to be tons of fun.

Andy's pretty much got all the answers handled.

The cameras are throwaway 35mm. For the kayak division take a photo on the beach before you launch. Sets the time and place. Then stick it in the plastic zipock and stow away until you get back to the beach with your catch. Then snap a pic of your catch before you haul all your gear back to the truck/car.

The cameras then are developed after the weekend and before any checks are written to confirm the rules were followed. We know you guys are a tight knit group and will probably be fishing next to each other watching each other like hawks so taking a pic of every fish as it's caught with a crappy non waterproof camera isn't necessary. You are more than welcome to take pics with your own cameras or ours while on the water, it's just not required.

The yellowtail tournament has a huge raffle with only anglers showing up getting 1 ticket. If you don't show, no raffle ticket... Makes the odds way better. Majority of the raffle prizes are for all anglers kayak and boat. There is kayak specific raffle prizes as well from what I'm told.
Check out the raffle prizes as they come in.

A HUGE stack of Yeti coolers just came in for give away, couple Traeger grills, Reels from all the manufacturers, rods, sunglasses, etc.

On Sunday we have a local chef representing Traeger Grills cooking up bbq on the Traeger grills as well as sides, dessert and beer being served by the CCA (have to do it this way to be legal).

Each angler also gets an anglers bag worth easily over $100. Hooks, JRI jigs, line, hats, shirts, drinks, all sorts of stuff again this year.
