Inspired by the lack of apparel that reflects the style and images directly related to us here in So Cal I decided to start my own t shirt line. The logo and all the images are my own artwork. I just want to put something out there that reflects what we're in to.

I only have 3 shirt designs and a hat right now but there's more to come. I plan on doing everything from spotties to threshers. White seabass and women's tanks are next in line.

The images are all printed on AAA shirts and run from small to XXXL. The hats are Flexfit's and come in S/M and L/XL.

I've stood side by side with some of you at about a dozen of the MLPA meetings and watched the whole scam unfold before our eyes in disgust. Until now I've only been able to donate my time, letters, and a few bucks. The meetings are over, but the fight is not. I made a line of limited edition (olive green) t shirts where 100% of all proceeds will go to the Ocean Access Protection Fund. There are only 30 of these shirts in sizes L-XXL and if they all sell I'll be able to write a check for $600 to go towards the fight to protect our resources.

I'd like to thank everyone who supported and encouraged me to do this.

You can see more info on the merch at www.kelpclothing.com (http://www.kelpclothing.com) and make orders via paypal. Also available for purchase at OEX Sunset Beach.

Thanks for your support!

I gotta tell you , this is an amazing concept!!!!!!! I have been trying to pitch a few of these ideas out to some investors over the years, but they arent creative enough to see the picture...The problem i have found in our scene is a lack of inshore species ect..there is so much coverage and designs available for Tuna, Sails, ect...but you have now taken care of that......THANK YOU!

i tried to get one of my sponsors (BUFF) even interested in a special So-Cal line with an exclusive "White Sea Bass UV Buff" decked out with an iridescent purple scale pattern and stripes reminiscent of ol' Mrs. Croaker..guess no ears are :bigear:....

I cant wait to order up some of your gear!!.......
shit, maybe even finish off my Japanese body suit soon?...:cheers1:

I have never been a tattoo fan but I think the shirts and hats are excellent artistically. Make some in Hawaiian shirt styles and I am ready to order.

My skill set is in the marketing and business realm. From that prospective I think you may have hit on a very good way to leverage your artistic talents. Maybe you are the next Tommy Bahama and we can all say that we knew you when you were just getting started.

Best of luck.

The 1st shirt I did has an image of yt's on it. It's more of a tattoo style though and looks different from the rest of the shirts.

I won myself a Spotted Sand Bass shirt at the SWBA viewing and couldn't be happier, these are some quality tees. Any chance you'll print up some more Calico shirts with non colored Calicos (white) like the limited edition shirts?

Thanks a lot guys!

No one carrying em in SD yet. If you know anyone who's interested in carrying em just have em contact me.

I will be doing a proper calico design and yellowtail design eventually. Trying to get out all the local species one at a time before I go back and re-do any other species first.

I'm just designing them in different styles that I like and after I figure out what the general public likes I'll go back and re-do them in those styles.

Right now I'm working on a halibut and striped bass. I did a 1/2 dozen different wsb, but wasn't happy with any of them so I put it on the back burner for now.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Good or bad I need to hear it all. I didn't start this to try and get rich, I'm only doing it to support the local fishing community which is YOU! Let me know what you all want and I'll do my best to make it happen. My time to spend on this is limited as my day job comes first, but I'll do my best to keep coming up with new stuff as often as possible.

Thanks again for your feedback and support :cheers1:

Why not post your 6 WSB images and let us vote for one .Artist such as yourself tend to be hypercritical of themselves .I'm sure the designs are phenominal .A WSB after a squid would be a natural .Great work going on I just need paying work so I can get your collection .Keep it up ,Your work is Bitch'n !!!

I am an artist as well, If he is not happy with his 6 WSB images, then he will not and should not show them to the public.

Only the best of the best should the public ever see.

BTW awesome work and keep it up. Love the Sheepshead image. Looking forward to the Halibut image.

Hey just wondering I'm not sure if it was said before or not but are you planing on stickers? I just gotta have that sheep head on my truck it would look sick. And I'm gunna put the brand across my back window.

P.S. orders the sheep head shirt and my dad and family are all interested in some product, thank for coming up with it all keep up the great work!:you_rock:

Thank you! I have a few different stickers with the logo and I've been working on getting the sheephead and a spottie made into a sticker. I should have them finished and printed by next month. You can check the site or Facebook page for updates.

Will you be the Pacific Coast Sports fishing event?

Inspired by the lack of apparel that reflects the style and images directly related to us here in So Cal I decided to start my own t shirt line. The logo and all the images are my own artwork. I just want to put something out there that reflects what we're in to.

I only have 3 shirt designs and a hat right now but there's more to come. I plan on doing everything from spotties to threshers. White seabass and women's tanks are next in line.

The images are all printed on AAA shirts and run from small to XXXL. The hats are Flexfit's and come in S/M and L/XL.

I've stood side by side with some of you at about a dozen of the MLPA meetings and watched the whole scam unfold before our eyes in disgust. Until now I've only been able to donate my time, letters, and a few bucks. The meetings are over, but the fight is not. I made a line of limited edition (olive green) t shirts where 100% of all proceeds will go to the Ocean Access Protection Fund. There are only 30 of these shirts in sizes L-XXL and if they all sell I'll be able to write a check for $600 to go towards the fight to protect our resources.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/yakalot/fish/120.jpg

I'd like to thank everyone who supported and encouraged me to do this.

You can see more info on the merch at www.kelpclothing.com (http://www.kelpclothing.com) and make orders via paypal. Also available for purchase at OEX Sunset Beach.

Thanks for your support!

These hand painted Vans will go home with the person who buys the lucky $1 raffle ticket. I put over 40 hours into these things. Men's size 13. It's ok if they're not your size, they're more of an art piece for display than for wearing. I'll call the winner at the end of the show and deliver them or ship them via Priority mail the following day. Raffle tickets can only be purchased in person at the show. These were such a chore I don't even wanna think about painting another pair for a long time!

Just wanted to thank you again for the amazing shoes and was in shock when I checked my cell phone to get the news that I WON ...

I'm still in shock I never win ,time to move my sports memorabilia to make room for some true art!!!

That's awesome Eric, congrats! A record number of raffle tickets sold this year. The guy who won last year bought 100, a few people bought 40 or more, and a few others working the show would buy 10 each day of the show. You scored!

It was great seeing everyone, I had a blast. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Our annual Christmas sale is on now. Enter code: XMAS14 at checkout and get 20% off your entire order. This will be the last sale until the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach coming up in March. Sale ends this Sunday (12/21) at midnight.

I guess now's a good time to mention I'm going to be shutting down Kelp. After the LB show there will be no more Kelp Clothing. It's been a successful venture for the past 4 years but I've reached a point in life where time is more valuable than money. I've been a one man operation from day one til now, and it's time to live a little instead of working so much. A HUGE thank you to BWE and it's members for helping my company become a success!

I'll still do shirts, but on a much smaller scale. You can follow me on Instagram @tattuna if you like for further details as things develop on that.

For now, if there's a shirt or hoodie you like, now's the time to get it. Some items have been discontinued but most of the original line up is still available. I'll do a few small runs of what's available on the site now and one new design before the LB FHS.

Here's a few images of what's available right now...

Sheephead Hoodies in sizes M-3X (Large is sold out)

WSB tees, Sheephead tees, Zombie bass Tees, Spottie tees, Black Hats, and a few others on the website at www.kelpclothing.com (http://www.kelpclothing.com). I'm closing down so some stock is limited and may only be restocked for the FHS LB show.

Here's a sneak peek of my new Striped Bass shirt in the works. These will be available after the new year.

Again, thanks so much to everyone here. There isn't a single website that has had more members who supported me with this business. I really can't thank you all enough!

No plans as of right now. There have been a lot of requests for the very first shit I did (black yt) so I may do a small run of those before the show.

I'm bummed that you are not planning on continuing but am very happy that it was a successful and rewarding venture for you. All the best in the future. My kids, daughter especially, love their shirts

And I found some jig blanks over the weekend if you still want them. I think there are 6 Tady 9 and 4 Tady BA

Charles and Kelp Clothing has been my sponsor for the past two seasons on the SBS tournament Series. I can not say enough good things about Charles, his friendship and support have been nothing short of extraordinary. Thee best sponsor a fisherman could ask for. Charles has a heart of gold. I'm super sad to see him move on, but I know this is whats best for him right now. Hopefully we'll get to fish together more now!

Charles, thank you for everything you've done for me and I look forward fishing more with you in 2015.

Thanks a lot Nic, I appreciate the words and support. We definitely have to fish together more next year!

I got a connection on jigs Shawn, but let me know if you want me to paint some for you.
