I was in Monterey Bay Kayaks yesterday and noticed the flier for the annual derby.

Asked if I could sign up now and was amazed to find out that I was the first to sign up.
Thia is a great event for a wonderful cause (Monterey Bay Salmon Project)
Show your suport for a great event .... Sign up today
See Ya There,
Eric / Yakhopper
P.S.
This is Allen's baby, and I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by posting this.
-
AWESOME!!! Aside from the Yakhopper serries, this has been my favorite local event for years! :smt003 I'll be there for sure, and maybe this time I can actually place! :smt044
-
DOH!
Thanks Eric.........!!!!!
Time flies Guess I've been lagging. I help coordinate this annual event, and it IS a great get-together, and we always see some nice fish come in (except that ONE year)
Someone has to knock E2G off his high horse. Alain, you up for it?
We don't have a huge amount of prizes, mainly it's for the spirit and camaraderie. But, Ocean Kayaks always donates a brand new fishing kayak as 1st prize (there's a cool grand right there), MBK usually kicks in a nice paddle for #2, and third place gets something smaller, like polarized fishing shades.
All proceeds beyond the event costs (Man-dogs-sodas etc) go to my favorite non-profit: The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project (who released 240,000 king salmon again this year from the Santa Cruz Harbor!)
I'm glad someone around here is thinking. Thanks again Eric!!!!

That's the weekend before Albion. :smt012

That's the weekend before Albion. :smt012
In all fairness to MBK, I'm pretty sure it was the same weekend last year.
I'm just bummed because I have a soccer tournament that weekend in Santa Cruz.
-
I'll be there and grill dogs if needed. I will actually compete this year because sumo needs some competition. :smt044 :smt044 :smt044 actually, the only one I would bet on besides sumo is Nathan, sumo jr. :smt005
-
My horse can get higher still :smt003 Will be there for sure.
-
Looking forward to big butts and clear skies.
-
Shark_bait is in as well
-
I'm out... gonna be in So Cal for the weekend.... :smt010
Earning WAF points before Albion.... :smt003
-
Will try to make it :smt006
-
Wish I could, but I'll probably have a newborn by then!
Have fun everyone!
-
I'll be there to show the local support :)
-
Remember.....the more people show, the more fun we have. Fewer people show=the better chance to win!
so you guys should probably be downtalking the event. "It was no fun last year" ; "there's no fish to catch at MBK." Like that.
Allen
-
It's always fun !!! Not sure my WAF account has room for it as we are leaving Thursday for four days at Albion. Besides with Eugene there the best I'll be able to do is second place :smt002. Kind of like challenging DC to a Hali fishing contest in Santa Cruz. How about an E2G versus DC side bet. My money's on E2G
-
Ya, his town.
-
Hey, how did I get dragged into this :smt005? Don't tempt me, I spent many years fishing the Monterey to Pt Sur side (power boat) and have some killer numbers too, unfortunately they're all LORAN numbers! :smt003
-
I love to trash talk as much as the next guy, but DC vs me is like The NY Giants vs the Watsonville Wildcatz. He has caught more halibut this year than I have in the last decade.
That being said, sometimes its better to be lucky than good :smt002
I still have a handheld loran unit in the garage. Thing looks like a radio from a WW2 war movie
-
DC cmon....join the fun!!

Is the water pretty calm there? I really want to attend this, but my wheels suck. Had an extremely hard time dragging my kayak across the sand a couple week ago.

It's a long shot for me to be there. HOW on Thurs Fri. Albion the week after. If I hear WSB are in the area you may see me anyway.
-
The squid are already around...combined w/another full moon phase and they'll start dropping eggs...which means = wsb.
This could be a very interesting derby.
-
Unless the WSB bite turns on sooner around the moon this week, I plan on being there Sunday

Can I use my sail?

Can I use my sail?
Rey
Would that be fair? I think when discussing electric motors we phrased the decision something like "human powered," which includes paddling and peddling.
Also I talked to the manager at MBK yesterday. they are ready to go and will be taking sign ins starting at 6am for the 7am gran-prix start.
Very few pre-registered, so it may be a mob scene between 6am and 7am. PLeeeeeeease pre-register today or tomorrow so we can all start the day in a sunny mood.
This is going to be fun, thanks again everyone!!
Allen

Total noob for WSB ... are they found along the kelp line towards the Aquarium or further past towards the point?

Sounds like a no to me. :smt001
No sure if the WSB's are in yet but last year they were more towards sand city and moss landing area. The year before quite a few was caught towards the point and in front of the big hotel by the beach.

I may make it. I'll find out Friday.

Just paid my $35.00 to be officially in :smt001

OMG PAT! That is just too much man. A huge , huge congrats on the halibut. I heard through the grapevine that something great happened to you. Soooooooo sweet!
-
Right-on Pat - that's a beast! Congrats!
-
Awesome time!!! Thanks to all who showed and all who glowed! That means my man pat kuhl Numero Uno!!! With a record-breaking 34# 8oz Cali Hali. He also caught another that "only" weighed 26#and change. DUDE!!!
Daniel Shim brought up second place with another hali 14# 12oz, and dark horse Matt Suyllivan "matthew" on the board now you gotta start posting dude!
I am super tired after the long weekend but let me say a GREAT time was had by all, great man-dogs, Thanks to MBK for hosting, Scott for cooking, Andy for taking all maintenance duties and eating theat BBQ squid (great pix coming tomorrow of the squid eating) In the meantime here's a sample:
-
Pat -
Nobody deserved that more than you. I am so happy for you and Daniel taking second. You put in the hours and you got the skillz. The crazy thing is the second 30# hali you landed. Should have pushed it further north but there is only so far I am willing to paddle for a flattie. :smt005 :smt005 :smt005 I hate those wormy hard to cook fish, but let's not get Art all riled up again. :smt005

Congrats to Pat and Daniel! Well done gentlemen :headbang:
Wanted to be there but I was pretty beat up from the HOW event at Lodi.
-
Wow! Pat and Daniel! Way to go guys! Congrats!
-
Congrats Pat & Daniel!!! AHulls Represent! :beer2 :beer2 :beer2

congrats Pat, Dan & Matt. Halibut took the top three spots, some good lings just not enough to compete. Good to meet and see everyone again, had a great time.
-
Wow! Congrats!
-
Congrats Pat for a well deserved win and to Dan and Matt!
-
Very Impressive!! Got any extra fillets? Just kidding. :smt001
-
60ft off Tioga on whole squid. Sliding sinker w/4oz and 3ft leader to 5/0 octo & 4/0 treble. I was slowly trolling across the bottom. First fish went 43" 34lbs and second fish went 40" 26lbs. The two biggest fish I've ever caught off my yak...stoked!
Fish #1
(http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq217/Sin_Coast/2012%20MBK%20Tourney/IMGP2515.jpg)
Fish #2

(http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq217/Sin_Coast/2012%20MBK%20Tourney/IMGP2532.jpg)
Safer in the tankwell but Alex still got attacked by one of my halibut...it was the crazy/funniest thing I've seen! More on that later--I'm exhausted.
THANK YOU MBK for another great event! I look forward to this each year and still can't believe I won a new kayak.
That's the little one on top...even with its tail in the handle, she jumped 3ft onto Alex's chest and attacked him. Too funny. :smt044

I'm super stoked for you Pat on that monster hali you caught bro. Big congrats on winning first place brother and to you as well Daniel on taking second place. Wished I was there but work got in the way.

If I gotta lose the title, good to lose it to you Pat. Those are some serious halis, one might say fish of a lifetime. Twice.
-
Holy Sheet!
that is a big fishx3. Congrats to you two. Well deserved.

-
Pat, you didn't just beat the competition you blew everyone away. Two Kayak Halibuts of a lifetime in one day!!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Congrats !!!
MBK - thanks for making my third MBK tourney another wonderful event
SCALLEN - So much of what happens in NCKA is because of you. You Da Man !!!
-
Hell yeah! Perfect day!
-
That is really Impressive!!!
ConGrats!!!
-
That is really great. Winning on a Tarpon is cool too.
-
Pat,
Congrats and it was a great time being out with you guys. To bad I had to go back to Alien since I can't leave my wing man. Good to see you and watch you hookup with those butts.
-
CONGRATULATION PAT! That first halibut was Huge...when i seen that monster i had a good feeling that my record halibut of 32.8lbs from SCAllens Santa Cruz derby of July 2005 was going to be broken. And with that 33.9lbs or we will just say 34, pound :smt003 Halibut you did just that. and to make sure you got first place, you catch that second halibut that i should of kept since it didn't want to stay in your kayak and wanted to be with me instead :smt003 That fish surprise the hell out of Pat, Daniel, Steven and especially me when i was parked beside Sincoast to take a picture i uncovered the beast and was getting ready to take the picture when the butt took one big flop and landed on my lap. I had to give it a bearhug and hogtied it from knocking me off my kayak. So, I literally caught a 26lb halibut! Butt, I had to give it back :smt009 :smt010 :smt003

After all that excitement and time was running down we headed back to MBK but not be for Steven/splashdown and I limited out on rockcod.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came out to MBK's tournaments this year! I saw more fish this year than the last 3 years combined... Lings as far as the eye could see!
Also thanks to everyone who helped us out on land!
Holokai
P.S. Pat, I stole a pic of you and your hali from this thread to put on the MBK facebook page. Hopefully thats ok! Also if you decide to upgrade to the 4.3 just bring back the prowler in the next day or two.... :)
-
Dude no worries on borrowing a pic for MBK's FB page! I love MBK! You have my full permission Holokai (-:
24hrs later and I'm still excited!
Couple more pics.

It took me over an hour to process the fish. But I ended up with 16 full gallon ziplocks of halibut fillets. Although, I got raided by Andy & crew last night LOL! If anybody else wants some halibut, come over to my house and pick it up.

wow Pat that is awesome! Those are huge slabs! Congratulations!
I could see that you all would probably have epic FAC water to fish.
-
Congrats Pat, Daniel and Matt. Great catches, sorry I missed it. Good to see the locals represent.
-
Pat, I might be in Monterey tonight. Maybe I'll swing by for a couple fillets. I'll call you if I make it over there. Congrats again! I'm so happy it was a Sin Coast, Dpshim 1 2 punch!

Nice job Allen, sorry I could not make it.
OMG Pat! Are you serious, monsters of the deep.
Daniel, and everyone else-congrats.

Pat, I hear there are no Halibut to be caught at Albion. Guess you'll just have to bring some. :smt003

Another awesome event thrown by MBK and our own Allen, thank y'all for your support!! :D
Several nights ago while fishing under the full moon at Lake San Antonio, Pat and I were discussing game plan for Sunday's derby. I got word from my commercial friends that the halis were being caught in 65'-50' at Tioga using squid.
With only 5 hrs to fish and be on land with our stringer, we decided that it was best that we paddle straight out towards Tioga (a good 45min-1hr paddle) rather than slow troll there wasting valuable time. Game plan worked like a charm!! :D
When it was game time, I paddled my ass out toward Tioga wasting no time. I had Nathan and Eugene paddling along with me as well as Scott couple hundred yards of me peddling toward the same direction. As I kept paddling, others had stopped.
Once I got out to my destination, I started rigging my bounce ball troll setup: 3 way swivel w/ 20" line to 1lb weight ball, tied to 4/0 brass/silver dodger & 3' leader with squid.
As I was ready to troll, Pat, Alex and Splashdown arrived. Within couple hundred yards into my troll, I had a big surprising takedown which caught me off guard and assumed it might have temporarily snagged to something on the bottom. I slowed my troll, but nothing.
I continued my troll northward when all of a sudden I hear hooting and hollering by none other than my fishing partner! :D At that moment I turn back and reel in my setup. As I brought it to the surface I noticed that my herring bait was missing 2/3 of its body. Right then I knew I had a takedown earlier. I was also certain because my takedown was in the general area that Pat hooked up :)
After helping my partner take some sweet photo shots, partake in the hali beatdown, and assuming that we strapped that bad boy securely; I tied on a squid and started my troll.
50 paddles in, I got another takedown which I was able to set. I immediately knew I has a hali with its unmistakeable dead weight and its headshakes. I also knew that this was nothing close to what my partner had just caught lol!! :P
As I slowly brought the hali up toward the surface, I was contemplating on how I was going to land this since I no longer use gaffs for fish. I now use my hands or lip gripper to land my fish, with the exception of salmon (net, which I also had on me).
I decided that the net would be the easiest way to land it... WRONG!!! As it came toward the surface I attempted to swoop it in with the net. The Hali went ballistic once it got in, splashing and flopping around until it got out!
After I found out that was the wrong decision lol, I decided to land it with my hands which was an easier move and that I shoulda done in the first place lol. After escaping from the net, I allowed the hali opportunity to calm itself under the surface. As I slowly pulled it toward me with its head under the water, I slipped my hand under its gill and brought him on board. I quickly grabbed my game clip with the other hand and securely slipped the clip in and threw him back in the water :)
I was stoked that not only Pat landed a hali, but I also got one myself! :D Pat comes over to congratulate me and to check out my hali. Initially, I thought mine was possibly a "puny" 25"er after seeing Pat's monster lol. After putting him on the hog trough, we noticed it was at least 30". Boy, your measurements get all messed up when a FAT doormat is present lol!!
Although we had about another hr and half left, both Pat and I were satisfied with our catch and decided to slow troll back in. It couldn't be much longer than 5 min when Pat hooks up with another beast!!! Once we got that on board, we called it quits this time lol!!
It was fantastic to witness Pat catch those beasts, as well as winning this event. I'm so STOKED for ya brother!!
Everyone did a fantastic job, as we saw several halis, nice lings and assorted rockfish! :D It was great seeing and fishing with everyone. I wish I could have stayed longed, bit I had to be at work at 3pm.
Again, it was a blast; and I was glad to represent the A-hulls. 1-2 punch!! :D
-
Awesome!!!
Congrats, Pat & Daniel!!!
Those are some huge fish!!!

Many thanks to you Andy and others who cooked. I volunteered to cook the dogs because that is how I met my friend Aaron. I fished it hard Saturday and Sunday putting in over 25 miles and was whipped. You and Andy were a blessing and another example of the A Hulls setting the standard for what NCKA is all about. Muchas gracias amigos!!!

Congrats Allen on the successful Derby! I tried to get out there with your nephew but we already had our weekend full. I'll be there for sure next year.
