The entrant to return to the weigh in with the single largest fish in each division, Largest Yellowtail, White Seabass, Halibut or catch and release bass division, will win a new fishing kayak donated by one of the major kayak manufacturers Ocean Kayak, Wilderness Systems, Hobie or Cobra Kayaks. There will be prizes for top Female angler, and junior angler. Each entrant will receive an event T-shirt and goodie bag as well as admission to our huge event BBQ and raffle.

Wow Jim looks like an amazing event! You guys really know how to throw a party.

Wow Jim looks like an amazing event! You guys really know how to throw a party.

And that is what it is as much as anything, it is a fun event for a good cause.
I would love if some of the Norcal guys could make it. We have also received special room rates at a hotel only minutes from the launch

I have lost a good friend to brain cancer and have another good friend fighting it right now.  I will be in Ketchikan until the Sept 6th.  I'm not sure on the logistics of getting down there yet, but If there is any way I can make this tournament, I will be there.

Just Curious, do you guys have extra kayaks or how much to rent a fishing kayak as to give the option to fly down there, Maybe need an extra pole too...DANGLIN

I am sure we can scrape up a kayak for you. What I have done in the past for the tournament is charge $45 for the kayak rental and put all that money to the charity. I do not rent rods though.

Copy that, Thanks for the quick reply. Tring to get the time off work . I want to make PolePole's event, and then fly down there, Just thinking I should fly up there, borrow my brothers stuff, and drive to you guys.. Sorry, just thinking aloud...Talk to ya soon...DANGLIN

Just to be clear Don, the Moutcha Bay Derby is not one of mine.  It does sound like a nice event and there are people from NWKA going, although not me as I'll be in Ketchikan as previously stated.

-Allen

Ketchacan! oops! Guess I had better slow down till I talk to you

We now have five kayaks to give away at the event, Ocean Kayak, Hobie, Wilderness Systems, and Cobra plus fishing gear from Okuma and Shimano, and seven pair of Maui Jim Sunglasses and tons more. Time to sign up. Make a long weekend of it the yellows should still be chewing. Love to see some of you guys down our way for the event.

Hello Jim    Nice Dorado!!!!   Looking good on making it dowm there, still a few "snags".  Could you give me more information on the "discount hotel situation"?  And the kayak situation, are they set up for fishing, can I bum one?  Is it possible to beach/car camp close to the event? Tring to figure out if it is cheaper to drive or fly.
Thanks,

 DANGLIN

The discount rate on the hotel has passed, though this is past the season so you may find some decent rates in town. I would try some spots in Mission valley. There is a Best Western Seven Seas there with decent rates. http://www.bw7seas.com/
As far as camping you could try Camp Land on the Bay. http://www.campland.com/
It would be about ten minutes from the launch.
I charge $40 for a kayak with rod holders for the event, this fee goes to the charity. I have P15 13 and BG
I hope you can make it. Bring along some of the others and car pool.

Thanks for the quick reply,checking to see what I can do....DANGLIN

Jim, you it's funny how things turn out this has always been a contest i wanted to attend one because of growing up down their and two because of the rare bone cancer i have in my head ....now it's charging thought my head once again damm shit just won't died so with that said i will be under the knife on the 6th of sept. so i don't think i would be able to make it again. but i am moving back down to SD. so if this shit doesn't kill me i will make the next one

WOW, Good luck to you my friend.
That really brings it home as to why events like this are important. I don't know of anyone that has not been affected by this affliction in one way or another. My brother in law passed at the age of 38 and both my father in law and mother in law are battling it.
I know it is a long haul for you guys up there, but if you can make it I guarantee a good time and good food.
Once again Steve I wish you all the luck in the world, my prayers go out to you and your family. Get down here and we will go fish
