We would like to give a special thank you to the Trindiad Rancheria for allow us access on your land during our tournament. They’ve invested a lot of time and money into the Trinidad Pier, parking lot and facilities that we all get to enjoy. Please support their tackle shop that will be open especially for us, the morning of October 15th for any last minute items.


October 15th???

What time is the mandatory meeting?

Thanks!

Still a couple days left to sign up!  The swell report is looking a tad "sporty" but this is shaping up to be a great event once again!

Pre fish report. Got on the water at 8 am and off at 1 pm. Landed and released a few blacks in the 15 to 18 inch range. Kept one at 22 inches. Short cab and ling released. Pretty slow overall

I had problems with my wrist and decided to let it heal instead of making it worse. I fished on Wednesday and the conditions were perfect but the fishing was slow. Did anyone make it out on the water for the tourney? Doesn’t anyone have any pictures to show or stories to tell?

Does anyone know when they will post the results? I think we finished in 14th. But just wanted to make sure. Had a great time. Will be there next year.

Haha thanks :)

I didn't get any pictures, I'm sure there's some out there - One F, cajun, ??. 

Brandi and I took 3rd place in fairly sporty conditions.  A bonus category of "other flatfish" was added late.  It was a good thing that I had my flatfish gear with me, so it was an option.  Brandi and I met about 4:45 at the beach and finalized our strategy.  She would stay in close and do the traditional rockfish fishing, and I would go out for flatfish. 

I made my way out and assessed conditions.  It was snotty, but no wind, and within my comfort zone and definitely not the worst I'd ever seen.  I made the call to continue west until I found the fish but not going past 180' because of time constraints.

I stopped at about 140' and dropped down.  I caught a sculpin.  Moved out to 160' and caught dabs but not the petrale sole I was shooting for.  Got out to 180' and dropped again.  I couldn't keep the sand dabs off.  I must have caught 50, 100, who knows?  I was throwing the small ones back and keeping the big ones, up to 11.5".  I caught a petrale sole - finally - but just one.  I caught a chicken halibut which I had to throw back becuause the season is closed, but I think we will meet again.  Finally ended up losing my dab rig when what was probably a skate swam off.  It was way to big ot deal with and it was after 10 and I had a long haul to get back to weigh in, so I horsed it til it broke me off.

On the way back I trolled a DD6 ;and anchovie with a giant shortbus.  I had a takedown, but the large following sea made it impossible to keep the line from going slack and it soon came unbuttoned.  I stowed the salmon gear and stopped at the first structure at about 100' and dropped bait, made a couple drifts but nothing.  I switched to a lancer and on the first lancer drift I stoned a 22" cabby between the eyes.  Next drift, a 19" black, but then not much.  I ended up cutting it closer than I would have liked but got back to the beach with 7 minutes to spare and in line with 4 minutes to go.

We submitted 2 large sand dabs, 1 petrale sole, 1 cabezon, and 2 black rockfish.  It was good enough for 3rd and a nice plaque, a tumbler, a paddle, and a 3 day 2 night trip to Tahoe. 

Thanks to Pacific Outfitters for a great event and I look forward to next year!
