Sturgeon Derby @ McNears Beach Park, Feb 6th

Hello fellow kayak fisherman,
  Marin County Parks and Open Space is putting on a Sturgeon Kayak Fishing Derby February 6th at McNears Beach Park in San Rafael Ca. It's a single fish tournament. I will be breaking the classes into only 2, catch and release and non-release. The catch and release will have to be a photo/honor system and the non-release will be by weight, if we have a tie by weight then we will measure the fish from tip of tail to tip of snout.
  The Derby begins at 8 am, gate to McNears will open at 7 am, fishing will conclude at 2 pm with the weigh in to follow. We will have a few prizes, included are a couple of reel/pole combos, tackle, tackle boxes, and Marin County Park Year Passes ! There is no fee to participate, only the $5.00 parking fee.
  McNears Beach Park has restrooms, showers, picnic areas, a fishing pier, and a nice beach to launch from. I look forward to seeing everyone there, If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to call Ranger Jim at (415) 233-1296. If I dont answer please leave a message and I'll get back to you pronto,
Happy Holidays and Tight Lines,

Ranger Jim

Michael, no axing of the event this year, I waited longer than usual to announce it just in case. Raven, tried to find "Butts" and "WSB" this year but wasn't succesful. Got a couple Dungies this year by hand but nothing else. Looking forward to the event,
