MBK Monterey Bay Kayaks Derby 8/8/10

Porky make it a Thresher and it will count.  Edible game fish......

which means "would i eat it, not you"

Personally I plan on catching a 44" halibut, just to show you guys how it's done.

Count me in please. I'll register when I get home from work. See you all there.

Hey Bushy...it says Lepps count right there in the Rules!

Check the 7th bullet point.

Although, I agree lepps shouldn't count.

im gonna get a 38.25" leopard shark Pat...

Oh, and my 38" butt will weigh more than your 38.25" lepp anyways, Porkster! We go by weight, not length...I think.

See ya there, looking forward to it!

Going for sad dabs, don't need another kayak.

My brother just moved into a beach house in HB.  i DO need another kayak lol.  But i like your sand dab idea Scott.  Might just join you out there.  Can some locals give us the local intel on h20 conditions?  Plan on a training swim after and don't want to slog through a red tide (or any brown trouts lol)

right you are!!  I still won't eat one though, haha.  Now I remember we included leopards because a lot of people do eat them.  (but not me)

Derby Rules

    * All fish entered must be caught from a kayak, without the aid of a powerboat.
    * Must have a valid fishing license displayed while fishing.
    * All DFG rules apply, including the multiple rod rule. If you are fishing for halibut and have no rockfish aboard, you can fish with 2 rods. One RCG fish on the boat=one rod only.
    * Launch and landing from Del Monte Beach by MBK only. Travel to other areas for launching and fishing not permitted.
    * 12:00 noon is the "cut-off" weigh-in time. Anglers must be present and in line for weigh-in by noon to qualify.
    * Heaviest weighed sport-fish wins.
    * Leopard and thresher sharks included, but no other sharks or rays qualify.
    * If two fish have exact equal weight, then the longer of the two wins.
    * Final decisions on any controversy will be made by Derbymeister Allen Bushnell with input from participants.


Just in case: though it is not stated in the posted rules, "kayak" means  human propelled, no motors or sails.  Paddle or pedal only please.

What is the word on WSB?  Have not seen much for posts about them this year.  I would like to hook one again this year during the tourney!

a pity you need to be in Alaska but glad its not happening with the concourse de elegance car thing.  Those Car RVs took up the whole damn parking lot.

I am surprised that you guys are willing to use up all your 38+ inch butt mojo to win a paddle. Cuz the yak is mine. 

Oh and bridesmaid Pat, dont sweat it bro.  People still love Fran Tarkenton even if he never won the big show 

The A -Hulls will be in full force!!!!!!! .. I need to rotate one of my yaks!!!!. Its gonna be A sanddab for me!

I plan on using my sanddabs for ling candy!

Good idea Rich...shhhhh. Keep it quiet and don't give away our secrets. 

I'm guessing if anyone is catching the WSB they're keeping very tight lipped. I'd still like to know.

If you see 50-100 PB's drifting multiple rods in rodholders in 1-200 FOW there are WSB around. It's called reading the water.
