I haven't spoken to Bushy but I can probably help answer a few Q's: there won't be a cap on participants and you can signup & pay the morning of the event if you are a procrastinator, and there will probably be a small BBQ w/dogs provided by MBK (not a potluck), but you can probably help cook or prepare food/drinks, or maintain general order.

I'm not official...just trying to help answer a few questions. So hopefully Bushy will correct me if I'm wrong.
Everybody gathers & launches from the same spot, in front of the MBK shop. Start time is right after Bushy gives the safety speech (usually around 6:45 or 7am). End time is noon, so you must be in line to weigh in your fish before 12. Single heaviest sportfish wins (rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, halibut, salmon, wsb, thresher?) so no Points Per Inch or CPR. Area restrictions = as far as you can paddle/pedal (no sails or motors allowed). Winner gets a brand new Ocean Kayak. Second & third usually receive something like a paddle or PFD.

I will talk to MBK Monday if all goes well, to finalize details, but the plan is to run just as in other years. 7am launch. Noon weigh-in.

Safety and pep talk at 6:45 or so on the beach.

Gotta launch from MBK and return via yak to MBK. Heaviest game fish wins. sharks and rays don't qualify except Threshers. Paddle or peddle only, no sails or motors. $$ go to Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project.

Ryan I have extra yak 'n stuff if needed. But, I don't want to haul it to Monterey, I'll have all kinds of junk already as coordinator of the Derby. If nothing else works, you can pick it up in Santa Cruz, or have someone from SC pick it up for you?

See ya at MBK derby Mike . May try lake Don Pedro this next week. Sacramento Bee shows that to be very productive. Well, for someone who is experienced in that neck of the woods. :smt001
Besides rainbows and kokanee. There was a mention of a fat little salmon. Do you know how large they get ?
Would love to put my dad on some fish. ( Probably should have started a separate post ) :smt009 :smt001

Check the website for detailed info. unlike most derbies, there's no cutoff time for signups at MBK. Because they have staff members there early in the morning, you can show up and sign up that morning. Might delay your start though, so early sign up is best.

Snapchat is an app where you can share photos with friends with a time limit, after which it disappears. Facebook (no surprise) bought the company. And...hackers have gained entry to photos a couple of times. So it's not truly a privacy app.

I took the safety class yesterday at hmb, and was able to experience less than ideal conditions. I am very excited to get out. Im assuming itll be safer since there will be so many people out. Also i thought it might be a great ncka icebreaker for me to attend an event like this.

Post by: RBark on April 27, 2015, 08:57:07 PM: I'm bringing 2 people who have never kayak fished before. Both are deaf. I just made sure they are bringing the basic safety gear and gonna keep an eye on them. No big deal. Keep in mind your own comfort level. Just because a bunch of experienced guys are staying out when you feel nervous doesn't mean you should stay out. Nothing wrong with leaving early if you feel it's out of your comfort zone. Lots of great guys in NCKA willing to give advice if you talk to them.

Congrats winners and I'm not going to share who or what fish size they caught in case Bushy or the winners want to mention it themselves.

Great seeing you all! My friends had a blast. Caught their first lingcod and rockfish in their first kayak trip ever. That's a good day.

Thanks Bushy for helping out with the equipment and tourney! Looking forward to another one!

Good to see some friendly faces and meet new friends! Fishing for me was slow. My fish finder wouldn't work so I was just hitting spots from memory and land marks. Guess I wasn't very good at it :smt044 I only got one ling that was half weight of the winner but it tasted good! Met and fished with a soon to be new member. It was just a fun day!

But I had no luck with typical jigging. So I let a lot of line out and trolled the swimbait along the bottom. That was the trick for me and I got a lot of bites that way!

This event gave me an excuse to hang with some friends in Santa Cruz Fri night. I've never fished this place prior but I had a plan. I went to the pier made bait and then headed south towards the kelp. Fished a bunch of holes and finally had a taker on a 10" mack. LDR with lots of sharps deeps rakes, maybe a hali, who knows. Mack was still kick'n so I dropped her back down for an instant zingggg goes the clicker, counted to 5 and set the O-hook. Solid big fish on and then stap. Reeled up, broke 40lb braid :smt013 . I must of nicked/frayed it earlier or something. I end the day with a 22, 23 and a 27" ling. Kept the 27" but didn't check it in. "Yur first ur yur last... Ricky Bobby"

Great weather and good NCKA folks, some new some old hanging out. See you guys next year with new braid! :smt044

When I got back from the beach my buddy Martin G. sent me a pic of you asking if I knew you! :smt005

Small world...I guess you guys are neighbors? His wife works with my wife, and our kids go to school together. :smt001

I was bummed that when I showed up at 1pm a lot of folks had already left, but still got to see some of the usual suspects and share some laughs and hugs.

:smt008

Thansk again to Allen and MBK and all the anglers who supported T2B2! :smt008

Let's do it again next year?! :smt003

:smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

A Small World For Sure !!!

I'm Neighbors with Chis in Aromas and just met Jeff a couple times.. ( That's a Yacht by the way!! :smt066)

I took off way too fast .. I think I was too exited to take the kayak home ! Missed the mandogs and everything!

the guy who won sure did well--how many times do we go out and get big lings and this guy does it on a day when 50 other kayaks could not---everyone was out there thinking c'mon baby work it...work it....you know how we do it!!
but that guy did it and made it in by weigh in and rolled that kayak right over to his vehicle and that was all she wrote

gonna bother me the rest of the season :smt005 any time I catch a 10lb+ ling :smt005

A little beginners luck did the trick!;-)

CONGRATS dude!!!!

We'll have to hook up for sure! I've lived here almost all my life. Left & moved to Florida for a few years but came back. Great place to live! Raising my kids here now at the same school I went to & the same school my mom went to.

Post by: Sin Coast on May 13, 2015, 01:57:05 PM: Hey i finally downloaded pics from my camera!
I paddled north for butts again. Didn't start trolling til I got to the beach hotel area. And kept going all the way past Seaside Highlands/scribble hill. That was the furthest north I've gone for butts outta MBK. My lower back & hips were sore for days...it's a lot of work to troll slow enough to bounce the bottom (3 rods deployed). I only stopped to drift a couple times; otherwise I was in constant motion. Hooked a little batray and thought it was a halibut until I got color and it ran horizontally...d'oh! On the way back, I said "F it" I'm going big and trolled huge Rapalas through the surfline, hoping for a big striper or thresher shark. No love on my lucky thresher plug though. Except for the sandcrab that got snagged LOL...

Getting ready.
