Kayakfishing.com Fall Classic 2013 at Ocean Cove-Saturday October 12th

Leaving now. See some of you cats this afternoon!

Going to try to make this and just show up tomorrow morning, see you all there. Spike ill just pay when I get there and gonna try to swing at the donut shop on the way up.

I am gonna head up in the morning. I hope to get there about 6:30. See you guys out there.

Come on dudes I missed this because I got sick this weekend. I need results and pics please.

Here is a teaser the winner caught a ling over 17 pounds and several others had lings over 10.

I had fun but only managed to catch 15 lings and nothing bigger than 33inches. I'll tell you one thing the winning stringer and biggest rockfish were all caught of Sea Ranch. Seems kinda difficult to accept this since it is so restrictive to fish here without staying in a house. My feeling is all must launch and fish in the general area otherwise it is not a fair playing field. Sea Ranch is 30 miles north from the tourney and quite difficult to get access to. Oh well I had fun with all that stayed at the campground. I caught a huge red at 21 on Friday that would have been in the running for biggest rockfish. Hopefully next year they remove the ability to fish out of Sea Ranch or move it up there.

Get a few pictures later after I download them

ps the biggest ling was caught at TImber cove but all other SR

Thanks for coming everybody, Michelle and I hope EVERYONE had a good time.

I'll get the tournament report published here in a few hours.  We broke camp at OC late Saturday night and headed down to HMB yesterday.

Dr. Hab,
The winning (big) fish came from Timber Cove, not Sea Ranch.  The winner showed us his lure, disclosed his location and gave more accountability.  I'm happy to discuss rule changes in regards to tournament boundaries or anything else.  I don't care what gets posted but you'll get a faster response by contacting me directly.
 
The Fall Classic will be held every year on Columbus Day Weekend (thanks Kirk!).

Sounds like it turned out to be a great event!!  How many people fished it?  I still need to get boots to wear over my paddling pants, but and assortment of lures, and possibly upgrade my rod before I hit the salt.

Seems like lure selection could be pretty basic with swimbaits, shrimp flies, and metal jigs covering just about everything.  My current rod and reel set up is a Shimano Curado 300D on an Shimano Terramar rod.  The rod is only rated to 1.5oz lures and I think I need something a little heavier?  Maybe Ill pick up an Ugly Stick jigging rod to put the Calcutta on.  I'm dying to get out there and hate that I missed the event!

Ill be there next year though!  Can't wait to see some pics!!

spike thanks for all the hard work we had a great time and the rules are fine people just have to step there game up the ocean is full of fish the biggest fish was pulled half way between oc and tc i like the fact you can try different places now that we know you guys better watch out next year lol cant wait>
