Its an A-Hull thing. :smt002
is there a cut off to entrant numbers..I got more than a few that are coming and need to get them signed up in time if so..thanks for all the hard work and for making this happen AllenI 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.
Are we doing a cook off after etc...let us know how we can help
Carrie and I will be in the area. Camping at veterans memorial park. Our 29th aniversary :smt007 will pop by. No fishing, but chilling for a bit with y'all at the beach will be fun. See ya if timing works out...Let me know if you want me to grab a spot on Thursday because Vet's Campground does not accept reservations and there are a few events in town that wknd (Continental Grand Prix @ Laguna Seca).
Mike says he will double the prize if its caught on a Branson Bait :smt003

Pat thanks for the intel.
I have a few questions.... start time, end time? Launch and morning of reg location? Species or single biggest fish? PPI C&R or scale? Area restrictions or borders? Prize allocation: cash, boat, ?
Thanks!

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.

Asking for a favor, can someone pick me and yak up at the Magic Carpet Lodge in Seaside? That way I can leave the car with the family to meet up later in the morning at the launch vs them shuttling me to the launch in the AM. I can drop yak off on Friday night when I get in to town to make the morning go easier.
Paid up and ready to go! Gameplan: FOLLOW PAT :smt005 :smt003
I rarely do this but........
I'm predicting Craig triangle takes it with a halibut. And a thrilling story regarding a lap dance (with happy ending). Don't know why I'm just feeling psychic today. Also, unrestrained exuberance has been know to triumph.
Or maybe Philbejawakkket, or CenCoast.
Never, ever, ever count out E2G.

I have a 12 incher ready to use.
Swimbait, you doofs. 831 Tackle made me one. I'll get 'em.
Anyone able to bring a spare yak and paddle?I will probably have a new kayak for him to borrow...but I won't have it until 1pm on 5/2.
I'll be there to take Pat's crown!No crown; just my lucky A's hat :smt003

Hi guys,
Anyone able to bring a spare yak and paddle? My friend is coming (non ncka) and I have a yak for him. He wants to bring his 21 or 16 year old son too. I don't have an extra.
He has never kayaked so something stable would be nice! He can't really afford to rent one. Thanks in advance if anyone is willing.
anyone coming down that would like the family to hit the aquarium or wants to take the family after the derby?

Alex I haven't fished Pedro since I was a kid the salmon only go a few pounds. We used to destroy them rolling shad or trolling storm thin fins under the power lines
I don't think that's the first prize. First post says it's from Ocean Kayak. Predator 13 is from Old Town. Unless I missed something somewhere lolthis is the one
Same company...... I know the 1st prize boat was delivered last week, and they are pushing Predators Public profile. So I wouldn't be surprised if that is the one!
You need a predator anyway, don't you Ryan?
Bushy
handsome angler!
At first sight I thought Bushy was the prize and almost didn't sighn Up :smt003 :smt002I don't think that's the first prize. First post says it's from Ocean Kayak. Predator 13 is from Old Town. Unless I missed something somewhere lolthis is the one
Bummed I'm going to miss it this year. My buddy bought me a ticket to a Giants game and I can't flake on him. Hope to see you soon Bushy

I dunno even wanna know what snap chat is?!??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.

Nathan competed for the University of Washington gymnastics this year and is still up in WA. He will miss the tourney unfortunately but will be home for a week or two during the summer.
I hate snapchat. He says "look at this" and by the time I get my glasses on, its gone.
other than that he has just been hangin around :smt002 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clUVShTyzWQ

Meh. There always there bro, :smt006 This one is a resident. Saw it up close personally and was able to take a pick of it thrashing. The best way to tell if there is a shark nearby dip your finger in the water....If its salty, theres a shark around. :smt006Meh, dolphin! Just tell yourself it's a dolphin.

Looking forward to participating in this event again!Thank god you're still alive brotha! Stoked to fish and kick it with you :smt008
Pat, imma be following you brotha!! :P
Every year, I've told anybody who asked where I was going and what I was gonna do. It's not a secret (go really far north then drag frozen squid). Heck, I even get campsites for people to stay at each year.This is what happens when you become a fishing god! Or maybe its because you have 2 fishfinders on your yak :smt002

By the way guys, the two deaf people with me are deaf mute. They can't speak or read lips. So just let me know if something needs to be conveyed to them!
there is a LOT of current chatter on the FB about a larger than normal grouping of sightings form copters and researchers this last week... :smt002
anyone think they can i.d the land marks?

You can park in the dirt lot at MBK or in the paved city lot right next to it (by the eucalyptis trees). It costs the same at both spots: $10/day.
I think it starts @ 7am? And I think you gotta sign in & get your wristband before that.
Me & Brian G are carpooling, so we'll be there by 10am...
thx a lot for the info craig. guess i'm gonna load up after work. just gotta get up early enough to get out on time now. craig i've been juicing for the past week, we grow a lot of chard, have some lemon and orange trees. been on that routine all week, might have to skip it in the am cause it takes like 1/2 hour from start to finish/clean up. you know what it does to your insides when you first start doing it again!
Apologies in advance to the winner. You're getting a classy A-Hull cheap champagne showerBring it. I got a dd!!
Well deserved win! Congratulations!
Awesome event! I was hoping to get that champagne shower though!!! See you guys on the water!Congrats dude! Sorry I wasn't there to pop the bubbly. Didn't catch my first fish till 12:05 and the weigh in and awards was over by the time I got in. Way to go on the win and enjoy the yak!
Here was the one that got me the Win
I was surprised to hear it was slow. It was pretty on fire for me (for this area, it's usually a bit slower for me). I released like 5 lings and 6 rockfish.You are always on fire :-) which side did you go?
Thanks daniel (forgot your name on here)

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

I don't need to jack the thread.
But... I'm horrible with names, I forgot the name of the guy was talking to at MBK but I had mentioned that a buddy of mine hooked up with a 50 pound lingcod a few weeks prior. I told him I would send him a photo.
Of course after talking to a couple guys on the boat with him, the fish mysteriously grew to 60 pounds. You be the judge.

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.
