Halibut bounce balling class at Bass Pro Shops on Sunday

See attached if interested.

The guy who puts on the doormat derby every year is doing a free class at Bass Pro shops. Unfortunately I can’t go, but I thought I’d share as I know this guy slays a lot of fish.

I had not heard of the Doormat Derby, so I Googled it.  Sounds like a cool event, and the website is straight forward and has useful info.

Good stuff.

The Doormat Derby should be added to the 2025 Tournaments Thread! I want to know when all the Bay area tournaments are taking place!

One of the most popular areas for kayakers is directly in front of the harbor, so you don't necessarily have to go far...
