Great question! I'll try to get our developer to add a Derby sign-up link...until then, call to register for the derby and use the online store to rent/reserve a kayak if you need to.Thanks.

hey Aaron. Question for ya. Any chance to demo some yaks (for free) for peeps that enter the derby? If you guys have the native fishing SUP I'd love to give it a spin. May be a way to add to the madness? Just thinking out loud. No worries if not. Just asking.

sounds tempting.  i'll see if i can get the day off.

Every day is demo day at MBK.We charge $20 to demo boats and we will credit that charge toward the purchase of any new boat for 30 days.

If you are renting kayaks from us the day of the derby, we have Tarpons, Tridents, Prowlers, Drifters and Rides available upon request.

Thanks for posting the announcement, Aaron!  Hope to see LOTS of kayak anglers for the annual MBK Derby this year.  We always have tons of fun and fishing is usually pretty decent ion that area in August.

Once again the 1st prize will be an Ocean Kayak Trident 13, for the heaviest Game fish.   Every year people ask about sharks and rays so I will anticipate and advise they will not be accepted as entries, with the exception of threshers and leopards, should you be so lucky.

It's about Community, Camaraderie, and Fun, with a dash of competition added.  Bring the family for our BBQ feast and awards ceremony. 

Any quesitions feel free to post here.  PM will work, but best to answer any Q's publicly so I don't have to repeat.

Details on the MBK website as well as signups available there.  Here are the rules, same as last year:

Derby Rules

* All fish entered must be caught from a kayak, without the aid of a powerboat.
* Must have a valid fishing license displayed while fishing.
* All DFG rules apply, including the multiple rod rule. If you are fishing for halibut and have no rockfish aboard, you can fish with 2 rods. One RCG fish on the boat=one rod only.
* Launch and landing from Del Monte Beach by MBK only. Travel to other areas for launching and fishing not permitted.
* 12:00 noon is the "cut-off" weigh-in time. Anglers must be present and in line for weigh-in by noon to qualify.
* Heaviest weighed sport-fish wins.
* Leopard and thresher sharks included, but no other sharks or rays qualify.
* If two fish have exact equal weight, then the longer of the two wins.
* Final decisions on any controversy will be made by Derbymeister Allen Bushnell with input from participants.
(Warning:  As Derbymeister I reserve the right to be capricious and arbitrary)

Good luck to all, wish I could vie for the prize but alas I am ineligible.  I will be out there fishing though and rooting you on.
