AUGUST 17 MBK DERBY...SAVE THE DATE!!!

Im in, last year was a blast, tho I concentrated on the lings too and caught nothing but skinny ones, saw a diver that had 3 30 plus lbers in the box, he said there were many on the bottom...a 14 lber won it.
Me and Mooch had fun terrorizing a racoon at Veterans campsite, we had tears streaming down our faces it was so funny! Great place to camp, no fires in camp but there's a community fire-pit for everyone. Ide be up for sharing a spot.
Whats the prize?? Trident 13???

I DO remember last year's winner was paddling an old OK Drifter. 

Whoo-hoo, my names on the trophy for 2008.

This may sound dozy but, errr, how exactly does one register?

I tried the email address earlier in the thread and got no response. There's no link I can find on the the MBK site.......?

MBK is taking a long time getting the web post up.  here is an update...

I'm assuming a prowler 13 as 1st prize.


Check in time is 6:30. Launch time is 7am. Weigh-in at 12:00.  BBq at 12:30.
1st place-OK kayak
2nd place-paddle
3rd place-sunglasses
$35.00.  Registration highly encouraged by calling 800-649-5357.

Thanks,
MBK

 Just happened to be in MBK for some misc. little thing last week and the salesperson asked if we knew about the tourney, signed up on the spot. Yeah, such fun!

Good clean fun! I'm, also in..., and let's all spread the word! Agree w/Sin Coast, a flattie or bust!

Hey,

I am in for this year.

ty

Scallen,
Called MBK if I can register on the spot at the derby date and they said yes...(hesitantly or unsure)...  but I need verification from someone in the know...don't want to drive down 3 hrs. and then not allowed to register...

I will check on the same-day registration, but I think it's valid.  If I remember correctly they did this last year as well.  Here finally is the url for info:

I'll post later when I get that reg ? answered.

Everyone getting excited?

Allen,Yea im excited, but about a week ago i phoned MBK about "day of registration" and the lady answering (after asking someone els) said no. Furthermore, she also said no to mail payment by check or money order. Only the Mark of the Beast (plastic). would do.
Somehow i got the feeling she herself was not sure. Seems Hightide got a completely different story. I like his better. Clarification would be good.

OK, I just talked to Cass, the Owner at MBK.

she says they will accept registration "all three ways."  By card on the phone, by mail with a check, and on the morning of cash, check, or charge.


The question about renting kayaks to fish the derby she is checking on, but she is supportive of that idea as well.

Only 10 sign-ups so far, so the odds of winning a brand new Yak are pretty good at this point.  Hope to see lots more sign ups before the 17th.....

All for now, I'm out.

Allen

I like how the event flier has a picture with a photo credit that reads Joel Lotilla LOL.

I called today and there are 90 spots avail! I will be taking the 25 min drive to pay in advance. I do not want to miss this one. Andy

Thanks Allen,
That was quick...now I know it's for a good cause but it sure would be nice to have only 10 or 12 yakkers vying for a 13 footer ...come to think of it, the more the merrier
