REGISTER! The Port Open Event

31fish!!?? What the hell!! I was outhinking fishing all day today, and caught 2! Thats's two.... as in one, and another one.
31!!??
I'm retarded.

You need to make a Lockford sausage gel scent!  I'm not kidding!

The port can be tough no doubt. I really had to fish my ass off to figure out the patterns. Try to think about what all the fish are eating right now. Match the hatch as best as you can. Use your fish finder to find active eating fish, possibly on bait or busting bait on top. Do you know what that looks like on your finder. It's no "fluke", these fish eat wounded baitfish imitations. 

Try to figure out how the tides effect a fishes position to shore as the water rises and drops. What food would they find there. Points, grass and structure transitions can all act as ambush points. But try not to get your bait caught in the rubble cause you'll have to "jerk" it out. Bait size also REALLY matters, work on a "small" quick limit and then swing for the fences.  Or you could just hang out on shore n let your "hair" blow in the wind, maybe do a little "jig". 

Good luck and remember, tough days help us to be better anglers in the long run.

Ahhhh, but when it's good.....

Sounds good! I might just have Logan fish the tourney and I pull him around

I can hang out with him too, if you want some time off. I can teach him all my techniques of how NOT  to catch fish!

Ok guys, I'm excited about tomorrow. Here is a few things...

The Fish sniffer magazine, myself and Jim will be taking a lot of pictures and video on and off the water. Also we'll do a TOC group photo after awards. Please wear your sponsor apparel if you have any.

I'll have a set of demo wheeleez if you need them to get to the launch ramp. Just bring them back up to the reg table.

If you've never been here, the launch ramp is really small. Please get all your stuff ready before you head down the hill. Or try to get there early and setup your rods OTW. Remember to stay within 50 yards of the launch ramp with headlamps on.

Well I put together all the prizes and we've got some great stuff. Looks like about 4K in cash and prizes. Sweet!

Please Channel 69 VHF for all communications.

The weather for tomorrow: 57 degrees, 2 - 4mph out of the east and mostly cloudy/partly sunny... fish on!!!

Day of registration ends at 9am.

Ok that's about it. See you guys in the early AM.


Mike

You still the man! 

Nice fish too!

Having never been to the Port of Sacramento can somebody just confirm that fm the access for this event is off Jefferson Blvd at S River Rd?

That's what the internet tells me, but I just want to make sure!
