IT’S TIME!  SATURDAY MARCH 14, 2015- PORTUGUESE HALL-

Signup form available on website for mail-in entries

Bayside Marine at the Santa Cruz Harbor also has entry forms and will accept payment at their shop.

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

Allen Bushnell and Mike Baxter

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...

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.
Title: Re: SAND CRAB CLASSIC #11
Post by: PablitoPescador on March 09, 2015, 04:09:09 PM
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
Title: Re: SAND CRAB CLASSIC #11
Post by: polepole on March 09, 2015, 06:46:11 PM
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!

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

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.

Catch of the day!

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.

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:)..

I have a good read on SoCal fishing so if anyone is traveling south please look me up .. Joe
