Mike Baxter and I love putting on the derby each year, and together with you, we've raised thousands of dollars for the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project over the past ten years. This is year #11 and it's the biggest and the BEST!
We hope you can make it to the derby again this year. Get your entry in quick, we are limiting to the first 300 entries due to space constrictions at the Portuguese Hall, and we WILL sell out this year!
Thanks again and looking forward to seeing you and your winning perch on March 14, 2015!
Sincerely,
BUSHY

No kayaks allowed.
And if you're gonna post up on the pier, get there early because the same group of people have been fishing it for the past 5yrs on tourney day.
I will probably just hit the beach for BSP and striper, instead of driving the opposite direction for striped, pile, black perch. Or will I? Mwuhahahaaha...
-
I'll be at da beach with the fam
-
Baymaster, which beach you going to?
-
Sin sorry so late but I had good luck a few months ago at upper twin lakes in Santa Cruz so I'll probably go there..
-
We should all fish together.
Although, I will probably have baseball on that day...hoping for an early game, so I can meet ya'll at the beach then hang out at the Portegee Hall.
-
Yeah, I'd love to fish with some of you. I just signed up last night.
-Allen
-
This is gonna be awesome. NCKA takes over the SCC!!
-FF
-
Oh boy. Forgot this was coming soon. Hope my back recovers before then! Still bedridden!
-
Hey Pat, great idea but I won't fish next to you; you catch to many fish in front of people :smt003!
Good luck at the Sand Crab Classic.
-
We should all fish together.
So where we all gonna meet up at?
-
Someone's most secret spot that reliably produces 18"+ Perch, of course. Where are we meeting up? :smt005
Kidding. But I'm interested in meeting up, and maybe my brother too!
-
I'd love to join the NCKA sandcrab classic side bet. We had one last year. Lets do it again...say $20 buy in?
Steelhead
-
You're right...it was $10 last year. Who wants to do this NCKA side bet?
-
"longest perch"?? shouldn't it be the heaviest perch?
-
I'm still looking for some peeps to fish with. Where you gonna be?
I'm in for the side bet.
-Allen
-
"longest perch"?? shouldn't it be the heaviest perch?
Heaviest would require a fairly accurate scale to be 'uniform'
-
I'm still waiting to hear what time my son's baseball game is on Sat. But I'll be out there before & after the game. So I don't wanna be the one to organize it haha, but based on the forecast I'd suggest somewhere mid-bay like Moss or Zmudowski.
-
I didn't get signed up so I'll probably yakfish and bounce a bait around SC and come hang out after. No side bet for me. Any buddy down for a butt bet?? :moon :smt044
-
I am not the one to make the call on the side bet rules..whatever folks want to do....
I am gonna hit moss or somewhere south of moss-- marina...Salinas river st beach parking...maybe sand city...waiting to see what my friends have planned...ch 69
probably go where I saw you last year Allen...never been back there this year
my vote is 10$ longest fish...what do folks want?
I say let last year's winner determine the rules of this year's side bet!
-Allen
-
the fun is out of it for me by now..too much back and forth..I'm out of the mbF...just going to go have fun :smt003
see everyone there
-
I'm sad to say I'm on the side line for the Sand Crab classic :cry: I missed the dead line to register this year
and just to much going on this weekend.
You all have fun and catch those slabs.
Alien
-
bummer Alex....you will be missed
you outta try and hop over for the lunch and awards even...too much stuff to do is always the killer...next time!!!

Guess that would be me. I like the sand crab classic rules...heaviest fish wins. "Total length" if a tie breaker is needed.
So who's in for the NCKA side bet? This is what i have...

It's a monsta!! Haha
-FF
-
Right on Goz :smt003
-
Nice catch!
I took off after eating, it was nice to meet you all and fish. I got skunked!! I was tired and back was getting sore. And I wouldn't be able to keep up with the show / raffle anyway so probably no point for me to stick around!
I had a lot of fun despite not catching anything. Fished 4 different beaches with Craig, Ron, and.. I want to say, Cen Coast? Sorry, it's very hard for me to lipread people's names so if I'm wrong please do correct me!!
trianglelaguna found a big halibut corpse. That was pretty cool!
Thanks for holding the event! Next year, I will win it :smt003
-
Was really looking forward to the event. :smt007 I woke up to stomach pain near my navel. :smt012 I inspected the tender area. I believe I may have a hernia. Lucky me. Will wait till Monday for a Doctor visit. I am hoping it will be quick procedure with minimal days off from my job. Why do these things happen near Salmon season ?
Look forward to the pics !! :smt007

Hey Bulldog-Alex,
I just had a hernia repair Feb 6th.
Laproscopic is the way to go.
2 weeks off work, 2 weeks light duty, almost back to normal.

Hahaha!!!!! Took 3rd place with a 6"/4oz. Perch!!! :smt044
Last year I fly fished and caught/released a bunch of small ones. When we got to the award ceremony, no one checked in a fly caught fish. So when I caught that Monsta (correct Boston spelling), I kept it, remembering last year. Sure enough, placed 3rd, beat out by a couple of perch not much bigger.
Mike(solsrf1) and I started at LaSelva and we're catching all small fish, although I hooked and lost a bigger one and Mike was broken off by something larger, so we decided to run up to the Pigeon Point area and found a good bite of walleye perch, but they were small too.
Great conditions even if the perch were tiny. Thanks for the awesome breakfast burritos Mike.
Good to see some NCKA brothers. Fun event and the proceeds go to the Monterey Bay salmon/trout project (Thanks Bushy).
Hope you don't need surgery Alex. I had double hernia surgery 3 years ago, and I was out of action for 4-5 weeks. Good luck.

You need to stay off that site Bro !! :smt044 :smt044

I am dying in laughter that it really did take 3rd place. Dare I ask what won 1st place?
-
yes Goz won a trophy. smart man remembering how few weigh in fly fish. For that category, we will accept a digital dated picture with measuring device, like AOTY. Because those fly guys are so "sensitive."
He was not the only ncka to win however. Imagine my surprise as I found out the grand Master winner (from Ventura) is also AN NCKA MEMBER!!! Joe Voss whose ncka name I cannot remember right now, but we are going to kayak fish together up here in april. Can't tell you how proud I was of this connection. I already liked this guy a lot. No wonder. Unknown to me all day, but he is already ONE OF US!!!
Here's the essentials-
Over 300 participants for the 2015 Sand Crab Classic Perch Tournament, our biggest turnout in 11 years. Getting bigger and better every year. As usual, a
ll proceeds go to the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project.
Anglers fished from Pacifica down to Carmel. Despite a recent slowdown for surfcasting perch, a number of impressive fish were weighed in. Top honors this year went to Joe Voss who came all the way from Ventura for his first try at the Derby. Joe arrived Friday and scouted locations Friday night. He found a couple good holes at Salinas River State Beach to which he returned before sunrise Saturday. Using bloodworms, Voss nailed a 15 1/2" Barred Surf Perch which proved to be the biggest for this year's Derby. Voss left Saturday night for his home down south. He'll be back.
Other winners included Grace Volz, who captured the Grand Master Trophy last year, coming in #1 for Women's BSP with a fat 10 1/2-inch BSP, Caleb Arroyo winning Junior sea perch with a 135/8 Striped perch and Madison Jauregi capturing the Junior BSP trophy with her 12 1/4 fish.

Hey Allen
Great meeting you yesterday! Very much looking forward to fishing with you soon..I thought I was a member for a number of years? But apparently lurking does not count:).. So I re- registered today to take more of an active stance on this board.. Thanks for the intel on the area as your local knowledge was pivotal in getting me on the some good grade fish yesterday. I have a good read on SoCal fishing so if anyone is traveling south please look me up .. Joe
