MBK Monterey Bay Kayaks 3rd Annual Fishing Derby 8/15 UPDATED!!!!

I can't believe that after talking in January with Terra (at MBK) and discussing the dates of other event's (F.W. Davenport) she would schedule it for the same day 
I guess I'll have to miss another great event due to bad scheduling 
If anyone else is scheduling a event please check the events already posted.
Thanks,
Eric

Nathan and I will be there defending the family honor and going for a repeat.  Time to start working on strategy.

There, I fixed it...Do you luv me now? 

Woo hoo! 

WOW Aaron! That is very cool.
Ask and ye shall receive!

Moving the event to one day before Eric's event is still pretty much a slap in the face for Eric IMHO. He did coordinate with MBK in jan. How many of us have the ability to do 2 tourneys in one weekend? i would guess not many. One day before and a bigger purse? really? Hardly much help. MBK should simply change the weekend.

The main difference I see between the two is that you don't have to pay to enter Eric's event, to have a chance for a year-end prize.

........and Eric scheduled his event months ago, after talking to MBK to make sure there were no conflicts. Oh well, Ill be fishing Davenport that weekend.

well i know that eric can't do saturday events because of his work schedule.  i also know that i will FIND a way to fly home that weekend from a business trip and spend TWO days on the peninsula fishing.  maybe not everyone can do it but some of us weekend warriors are definitely grateful.  monterey is a 3 hr drive for me so for me to drive there two weekends in a row is more difficult than going there one weekend and camping it on sat night!

Eric puts a lot of personal time and effort into his events, as well as driving 3+ hours to reach fishing grounds that are local to US, not him.  Free entry, free food, and good times, I'll definitely try and make it to BOTH events! 

I can win both days?  Cool  :smt003

after thinking about for a while, i can see how 2 on one weekend could be benificial to some. 2 birds with one stone. i sould think a little before i post. I guess my last post was a little blunt. sorry.

Wow, glad to see post #2 sharky!  I was mentally composing a response there, how do I comment without being too blunt myself.  LOL.  Spoken like a true gentleman, thanks.

Funny thing is, Eric and I are on the same team: Ocean Kayaks.  OK is co-sponsoring both derbies, in effect.  If any fault is to be assigned it is on me,  I am the one who actually set the date with MBK for the 16th.  I did not check Eric's schedule,, was just trying to fit things in between Elk and Moutcha Bay. (I think neither of which happening now ironically).

Many thnks to MBK
tara and Cass who showed wonderful flexibility, and esp to Aaron for posting and handling the details down there.  TY Aaron, I never stopped loving you.**

I am stoked especially becaue I can now fish at Devenport with the cew again, something Ihaven't done for quite a while.  Hope its a good year up there, definitely the right time to fish thete for RF and halibut!

Allen

Oh so it's all Allen's fault!  . I'm looking fwd to both events (will begin the WAF account build-up now). I suppose weather will play a role in this double whammy!

Glad to see all the flexibility!

So cool to see everything working out.  Unfortunately I have a previous engagement on Saturday.  So hopefully I will be able to fish Davenport on Sunday.  I am just trying to get out and fish as much as I can this season.  So far I am doing more than last year.
