The Berryessa Salmon Slam begun last year 4/2/2011 @ Markley Cove, when two diehard kokanee fisherman turned there passion for inland salmon fishing into a friendly, Fun for All event. And a huge success it was! Many of are brothers and sisters from NCKA and not, attended this first of its kind event and many smiles, good times, and memories where made. Since then, many have seen how beautiful, rich, majestic, and plentiful Lake Berryessa can be. And on a comeback it is. The lake currently has 5 newly operated resorts, some still under construction, that offer everything from boat launching to simple day use, to tent and Rv camping. http://lakeberryessashores.com/This years event will be held @ Lupine Shores @ Berryessa(formally steele canyon resort).
 
Since Berryessa offers such a great diverse fishery, I've decided to make this years Event even more interesting. This years Event will include 6 species of fish that will count towards weigh in: Kokanee, King Salmon, Trout, Bass, Panfish, and Catfish. The Tourny will be based on the AOTY system, but with slightly different point ratings. Keep in mind, the primary focused is still on salmon as you will see it has the higher point rating, but adding other species just makes this years tourny that much more funner and enjoyable for everybody and with this system it could be anybody's win.
Kokanee-10pts per in.
King Salmon-8pts per in.
Trout- 7.5pts per in.
Panfish-12.5pts per in.
Catfish-6pts per in.
Bass-5.5pts per in.

Only 1 fish per species can and will only be counted towards your total number of points. All DFG rules/regs. apply. Fish must be brought in for measurement or taken a photo of on accurate measuring device. Catch and release is preferred but not mandatory. In case of a tie, winner(s) will be decided upon a coin toss. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.Live Bait will be allowed and is ok to use for this event!

 All the proceeds will be used towards more prizes and the BBQ.

* There will be a seperate prize awarded for largest Bass caught. 

* Registration is now closed

Read in another post that you were looking to have it at the end of April and I was bummed because I assumed you meant the last weekend of the month which coincides with when we celebrate my daughter's birthday but now that I see it's the second to last weekend, I'm stoked!  Already got clearance from the wife.

Out of curiosity, any reason why you switched from Saturday to Sunday?

How do we go about paying you?

Great to see you can make it now mike. The tourny was switched to sunday for a couple of reasons. This allows everyone whos camping or not, to get a good feel of the lake, settle in, and to get some prefishing in if you choose. Furthermore, not that its official yet, but there might be another Big Ncka event held at berry that sat. too...but im not going to ruin surprises! We'll just have to wait and see...I'll be attaching the wavier&release form and registration sometime today.

How do we go about paying you?

Crap! There is a How event that prior week, but that is not the problem. I have to be in So Cal on the 23rd at 6am. I don't know if I can make this work. That makes at least 2 tourneys I can't make now.

Got it, thanks Ricci!

I just found my t-shirt from last year's event as I was unpacking boxes at the new digs in Elk Grove.  Cant wait to get back to Berryessa.  Now, if I just don't eat anything while I'm wearing this white t-shirt it might make it in virgin condition to the 2012 event.  I love the expansion of the qualifying species---pre-fishing will be in order!
