*results pg 36*Simply Fishing Tournament 9/27/14

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

The 2014 Simply Fishing Tournament

Sept 27th @ Timber Cove Boat Launch

 The theme of the tournament is simplicity... old school kayak fishing. Nothin' fancy, just the angler and his/her gear, testing their skills.

 To that end I am gonna level the playing field by limiting each angler to one rod and reel and three lures (provided), everybody fishes the same three lures, no bait, no scents.  No mechanized propulsion systems, no sails, no fish finders, no GPS, just a kayak, a paddle, landing gear and safety equipment. Simple, right?

Weigh in will be at high noon 

Now, before we go any further I (and you) should say a huge thank you to this year's major sponsors, Stealth Performance Products, The Headwaters Kayak Shop and Paddle Panama. Between the three of them (with a little help form the tourney) they've have come up with the best first place prize I could imagine. Please go to their Facebook pages and say thanks, if you would. And while you're there "LIKE" them if you like them.

So, the lures... this year rather than choose my favorite and most successful colors I asked the
manufacturers to put their best foot forward and choose the color that they'd like you to fish in this tournament.

As I mentioned in another thread BIG HAMMER has stepped up BIG TIME. Thanks to Pro Staffer Craig Davis, Pete Wolf has donated all the swim baits for this years tourney. The bait they choose is the seven inch Reckless Toast. Check it out.

I'll provide a red 4oz shad head (ala Andy1976) to go with.

Hell yeah! www.B2squid.com droppin' bombs! Once again, thanks to Kelly and LaWana Schultz B2 Squid is donating a five inch squid body rigged on a 3oz leadhead for every one of you. Their color choice this year is  Chartreuse.

And of course as usual Andy1976 (big hearted, jig pouring god that he is) has offered to help out again. This year he donated these beautiful eight oz. diamond jigs for all you iron slingers. He just put them in the mail so I haven't seen them yet but he sent me this photo awhile back. Pretty sweet, no? He chose Black and Gold... maybe BigJim will come play this year

Alright more sponosrs, more prizes.

Bending Branches has one upped themselves from last year with not one but two new Angler paddles

Otto over at Wheeleez has again offered up the best kayak cart made

Once again Liquid image has stepped up with their compact personal POV action cam the EGO727 with wifi

And what do you know, our own Jack Pollard aka Slammer from Pacific Sportsman remembered last years tourney and called to see if I needed anything. That's right he called me. Now that's what I call support. Check out what he had up his sleeve.

The farmer john is a 2XL and the shorty is an XL

Woot woot, huge thanks to EGO Pro staffer Mike Lavoie because of his great work EGOS2 is sending us an 18'-36' S2 Slider w/large net, an S2 18'-36" Slider with gaff attachment and two EGO 40lb Grip Tools

Thanks for the early warning, Ruben. I have great hopes of making the event this year!

This tournament has a great vibe, cool format, and was attended by some really nice people. I wouldn't be surprised if the weather and fishing is as great this year as it was last year. I am In.
