*results pg 36*Simply Fishing Tournament 9/27/14

Congrats to Craig for the win. I hope the trip to panama is a blast. Congrats also to Ruben for putting on a fine tournament. I'm glad the weather didn't cancel the tourney and I hope there weren't a lot of people that let the forecast stop them from fishing.

The water was a little bumpy and as I was launching someone came in saying they were a bit seasick. I also ended up not feeling great but I lasted until I lost all my lures. I never got a bite. Thanks Great Bass 2 for showing me around. The pot luck was another in a NCKA tradition of eating great food until I could eat no more. I had planned on serving burgers. When I got up Saturday morning I found that something had unzipped a canvas bag and eaten all my hamburger buns. I went to get some at the store down the road only to find them closed due to a family emergency. I got lucky in the raffle and won a nice EGO sliding net. Sweet! Thank you to all the sponsors that contributed to the event.

Here is a video I shot on the water showing a little of what the conditions were like.

Congrats Craigster!!!!and great job Ruben on another successful tourney!!!

Next time.... next year....  hopefully... I'll get to play! 

Congratulations Mr Davis. So stoked and happy for you.
I wish I could have made it out but I ended up hurting my back Friday afternoon.

Great job Ruben - got stuck working most of the weekend so missed out.

Congrats Craig - WTG!

Nice Craig! Enjoy panama homie

I had fun! I was worried all night about wasting my time driving here and lnot being able to fish but once I got to Bodega I saw how flat it was I got excited!    Fishing was ok , started off losing my b2 squid on the first drop  , then I put on the BH and on the 2nd drop I got a Lingcod 8.7lbs. Held the lead for a while till the crew came in(Craig, Allen and Adam). The rest of the day it was slow after that then the fan turned on and the drift was too fast to keep any of our lures that we were using down on the  bottom.  Cam back in and chilled then decided to stay the night and give it go again in the morning. Hanging with the fellas at night was a blast , prefect evening with no wind and a full sky of stars. Got up early and went out and found the conditions worse then saturday. Mixed swell and wind came up earlier so went in with only 1 nice China. Traffic coming home was a nightmare!  With 37 closed it too almost 4 hours to get to Suisun. Oh well I was able to listen to the 49ers all the way and get a win finally!. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!

Just a quick thanks to everybody for coming out to play. I know it wasn't an easy decision. Full tournament results coming soon. I couldn't be happier with how things worked out. Thanks again for all the food, fun and laughs.

Thanks Ruben for all your hard efforts in puttin' on a great tournament, my first.

Congrats Craig, nice story about how you found that ling. 

Paddling that fat pig Outback in that wind was hard, but the drive home the next day to Vacaville was 4 1/2 hours of hell. 

Wow! What a great event put on by Ruben! And the sponsors!!!! Dan at headwaters took the tourney prize to another level with a Panama Trip!! Way to innovate fellas!
The ocean conditions were excellent on tourney day and this set the mood for all who showed up, pure stoke for all!!!
I was able to pluck a vermillion and ling on tourney day. Got the vermillion on the B2Squid lure on the drop. Was thinking when is this 3oz gonna hit the bottom, never did The name of the game was lingcod so was glad I was able to get a 27" on the BigHammer swimbait and Andy1976 jighead!
I asked Bluegill to let me weigh-in first just so I could be in the lead for a minute before he weighed in, lol!!
We had a blast out there!!!
Thanks again Ruben and Sponsors! A great concept for a fishing tourney and I will be back!

Congratulations Craig! Locals rule dude.

Enjoy pics, video later.

 

 

 

killer pics!!!!!!! unreal...

After weigh-ins a few of us went for a quik dive in the cove. First time diving with Rider, Napajustin, and bluegill. Wind was up but, the underwater viz was about 6-10 ft. I plucked 3 abalone quick cause I was tired . Bluegill got his limit. Rider got two abs and some urchins Napajustin is a fish, gotta hookup soon buddy!! It was great to spend some time in the water with you guys!
Oh yeah, I plucked an abalone that had 2 pearls in it
Been waiting for a decent pearl for 7 years, very magical!
One for Raydon, one for me! Glad I could help you with your mission buddy!
