Moss Landing

Is anybody fishing the Moss Landing fishing derby.this weekend. Bill

Yeah, Bill, I'm getting my stuff together for a go at the derby. This is a new experience for me and I'm excited. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe there's one large, dumb fish out there. Hope to meet you!  Tim

What derby???

Thanks in advance for the info.

PK

here's the info. I will be there as well 

Kayak Connection will be relocating the grandfathers day tournament
from Santa Cruz harbor to Moss Landing harbor, September 10.
Go to Kayakconnection.com to download the entry form and liability
release.
This change in location will give fishermen more of an opportunity to
catch fish.  Awards ceremony and lunch will be at the Elkhorn Yacht
Club.
Wilderness Systems will be sponsoring this event and donating a first
place prize of a kayak and paddle for the junior division.

The First of its kind fresh water fishing contest held on fathers day
this past June was a real treat.  We had 33 kayak fishermen compete for
a Ocean Kayak Prowler.  Chris Baugh took first with a 3lb. 11 oz.
largemouth bass.  Eddie Evans (4 yrs old) took first place in the
junior division with a 11 oz. trout.  Lots of fish caught, kids, and
new faces makes Loc Lomond a great place to return to next June for our
annual fathers day tournament.  Mark your calendar.

All the entry fees are donated to the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout
Project . www.mbstp.org .   Founded in 1976, the Monterey Bay Salmon
and Trout Project (MBS&TP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the restoration and enhancement of the native salmon and steelhead
populations of the greater Monterey Bay area. To accomplish the goals
of the MBS&TP has developed three major programs:
     * Coho Salmon and Steelhead
     * Chinook Salmon Enhancement
     * Salmon and Trout Education (STEP)
Over 240,000 King Salmon were released from our new Santa Cruz and Moss
Landing pens in May and June 2005.

Happy Hunting

I hope to see you guys,I'll be easy to spot just look for the Hobie Outfitter (tandem) going into the slough with no fishing poles and the two of us looking like this and  not like this hopefully. Good luck guys. What time is the weigh in? Frank

Allen

ps it will be great to see everyone again!

Okay! I'm in...    C" U  all there

Peace

        I'm in also got the permission from the wife, she felt bad that I had to move all last weekend. Sounds like it will be fun does anyone know what the water conditions are going to be like on Sunday? I know they can change at any time I just hope it is not to windy.
     Well I see you guys out there and lets hope the fish is on!!!!!!!!!!   

I'd like to go, and even have wifiy approval, but I do need to know a location we can set up a tent.  At a bare minimum we need a place to park overnight without getting hassled.  if anyone can help out with this info, then I'm a shoe-in.

Thanks
Jim

Rockfish,

You can usually set-up your tent next to the parking lot next to the boat ramp.  It is a very big dirt lot.  Make sure you set it up in a corner and put your cars in front of it.  A lot of cars & trucks towing boats go by there.  I think it says no overnight camping, but everyone does it durning salmon openers.

I went by Moss the other day and it looks like they're ripping up that big lot behind the Pottery Barn and MBKayak store - big cranes and piles of rubble, maybe there is still some of the lot left, I didn't get off the highway. Sunset and Maresa State Beaches are nearby, perhaps they aren't booked up for camping now that school and kid sports are back.

I'll be fishing the tourney as well--my first commercial tourney and for a good cause and with a good kayaking outfitter (who doesn't sponsor fishing abolishionists like Monterey Bay Kayaks does). Should be great fun.

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunatly, when I got home today, I found a request for "beefed-up" resumes for the wife and I by Monday...so we'll be staying closer to freshell for now....if we get the jobs, well be mooving to Sac, sweet!!!

Good luck out there this weekend.
Jim
