Kayak Connection Fishing Derby Sunday 9/7/2014 Official results pg. 13

Just signed up! Exited for my first kayak fishing derby… or any fishing derby for that matter

Is the weigh-in station going to be located at the hand launch ramp in the NW part of the lower harbor again?

Is that the "Aldos floating dock" or the "Kayak Connection" dock located north of the Murray St bridge?

Its in the lower harbor by the bridge. Circled in red on the attached map.
Edit: the red circle on top...the other red circle is the Aldo's ramp.

Hey Guys,

I wanted to show off the sweet Werner Paddle that Werner has agreed to donate.  It's the Camano Hooked version.  Carbon/Fiberglass blend shaft with a super lightweight fiberglass blade.  This thing is so easy to paddle it practically pops out of the water!

Major thanks go out to Werner for the donation of our 2nd place prize.  I know Nathan Tsuji is super stoked on the one he was awarded last year!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 7th!

I have been trying to steal that paddle from Nathan ever since he won it! Darn kid is too fast and strong though!

 

Thanks again Dave! Really looking forward to this one...think I might being Valentina out??

Any small little prizes to recognize young/junior anglers?? Just an idea...

 

 

Sincerely,

Hey Jim!

Absolutely - bring Valentina out, too.  I'm sure we can come up with something for the groms.  Gotta start getting the next generation hooked early!
