5TH Annual Sand Crab Classic Announces

Ok my NCKA Bretheren (and sisteren).

It is time again for the vaunted Sand Crab Classic, wherein mighty hunters pursue wily and fiesty little gamefish:  The Surfperch.

This  contest is the biggest thing in Santa Cruz each winter, and it fills up fast.

I want to give the NCKA's a heads up, so here tis.

Go to this page, download the form, and send it in as fast as you can.  We will be full by next week.  100 anglers only, due to fire code at the yacht Club.

Hope to see a bunch of you there this year!

Allen

is this a shore thing or can you kayak

I have never fished for surfperch 

It's really a surfcasting derby, but there's no rule againstusing a kayak.

Bad news is, though, it conflicts with the ATY gathering, so I guess most the NCKA guys won't be there.

I am bummed I will have to miss the awards ceremony.

Oh wait, is the SCC the same day as the AOTY awards ceremony? I can't find any info about the AOTY ceremony...but that would a present a conflict of interests.

that's what joel told me.  Maybe I blew it and the announcement hasn't been made?

Sorry guys....

Allen

For the AOTY Ceremony, We are currently looking at Feb 28th at the Aquan Boat house /  Parkside Aquatic Park in San Mateo - I will confirm this with the boss within a few days. I will post and update as soon I get clearance - stay tuned!

I would be sad to miss the AOTY, but I understand if that's the day it has to be......

sniff*

Talked to Chucke - we might switch the AOTY on Feb 21st (Sat.) instead.....stand by for further details.

Sand Crab classic entries are now closed.... 2 NCKA's in fishloomis, and Alien

Hi Allen:

Can I still buy a shirt?  last years shirt was a real hit in our home!!   

Actually (secret) if you wanna get in, pm me with your email address.

We're going to open it up next year with a different venue for banquet. I can slip a few more people in this year even though we've reached the 'limit' and would love to have more of the crew...yakuza?  Sincoast?  bill?  Mooch?

Or better, email me at scruzfishing@yahoo.com, then i can send the reg form to you as an attachment, it won't be up on the website, website says registration is closed (which it is, closed that is)

Oh, and the shirt this year is new art.  unbelievably good.  Done by none other that Jimbo Phillips, famous NHS artist (screaming hand).

I've seen the art and it is AWESOME!!!! worth the entry fee just for the shirt, not to mention the tacos!

  One of these days I'd like to enter, but truefully, my confidence in being able to catch surf perch is really low!  Last 4 times out only 1 dink!  So, until I learn to read the waters better, ain't gonna happen.

My record this year:  6 times, one dink...you're doing better than I...haha

Eally  gets going laer in the season.

fun part is, when you're on em, it canbe non-stop action.

Generally end of jauary through April or so  is the 'season'

Allen

 Now I don't feel so bad! hahahah.....   Been out to 2 times at RDM beach and 2 times at,I guess you can call it Sunset, very southern end at Beach rd. I'd really like to "Get into them" one time!

Keep going, you will
