Yup, we will be all over that place

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!

You are too much man. 

Congrats Rider and Amy!  Very happy to see you guys got the crowns   I can't wait to hear the story and see the pics! 

First I want to say thank you to Mike, Jim, & Ricci for putting together an awesome FreshKATS Serries for all of us. This Serries was no easy task to make  happen and this team did an awesome job. Thank you three for making it happen.

Next thank you to all the sponsors your continued support of our events and kayak angling as a whole is much appreciated. Please see all the sponsors on the 1st page and patronize them as they do a lot to make these events a little more special.

So Amy and I arrived this morning and Amy wasn't going to fish the open. After talking with Jim, Mike, & a couple other odd fellows she paid and was in the open tourney.

So I had fished the day before targeting bass and stripers with minimal success. With the way the pre-fish went I had decided to focus upon mud salmon. The plan was to go out and put 5 on the hog trough and go for the win. Well plans are all good but I didn't plan on the seal swimming through the area I was going to fish causing all the salmon to scatter like roaches when the lights come on.

We fished the area and were hooking and landing Shad like crazy. Then I see Amy land what I thought was a Red Ear Perch. I tell her to throw it on the trough to get points. About 10 minutes later a light went off and I realized what had happened. I quietly tie on a grub and slide into the area Amy was fishing drop down and BOOM Crappie on. I had Amy switch over and we hammered Crappie and Perch all day.

When all was said and done I know I caught more than 50 Crappie. It was an amazing day on the port. Both Amy and I were able to hammer Crappie all day and pull off a sweep. Amy 1st Place in the Open and me 1st Place in the Tournament of Champions.

For me the prize wasn't nearly as sweet as doing as well as I did against what I feel are some amazing anglers. I feel seriously lucky against the likes of RacinRob, FishWorks (Ricci), Weimarian (Ron), Naoaki, & ScottV. These guys are amazing anglers.

Amy still can't believe she was able to pull off the win in only her second tourney. I can't be more proud of her!!!

After the Tourney we had to go out and celebrate. HELL YEAH!!!

Congrats to James and Amy!!

And thanks for a great Series to the Organizers and all the Sponsors.  I look forward to it next year.
