MBF @ Irvine 12/10/11

[roby]

Some of us are getting together to fish Irvine on December 10th (Saturday). If there are enough kayakers we could do a "Money Between Friends."


MBF @ Irvine Lake:

1) The MBF will start at 6am and end at 1pm
2) Sign-in ends at @ 7:00am
3) Weigh-in will take place at the tackle store
4) Buy-in is $10
5) $$$ goes to the heaviest stringer (trout only)
6) The fish has to be caught from a kayak
7) California DFG and lake rules must be followed

* I plan to be at the lake by 5:30am. I'll be at the kayak launch in front of the tackle store to collect money. My cell is (213) 663-5243.

I linked the lake rules below...

You will not need to bring your gaff for trout...lol, :reel:"elite", we fish with the "elite"?...cool...

[StinkyMatt]

Erick, put that gaff away!

You might poke your eye out or accidentally gaff a nice Halibut!:D:D:D

We wouldn't want ANY of that.


Take the gaff and practice on the Seal Lady in LJ, you'll get good in no time!

[mtnbykr2]

schedule looking pretty good for the 10th...I may get to attend....:reel:come on guys let's go to "troutdale"

[lowprofile]

trout fishing sounds fun. but thats the Toys for Tots weekend. will be on another lake.

[mtnbykr2]

looks like we may have a few guys from up here going to attend this trout extravaganza, does anyone know of a good cheap motel near the lake in case we come out friday night?:reel:it's about 2 hrs out from where we are coming from...thx b

[lbsurf2ca]

Do they stock :wsb::yt: ?

[RedSledTeam]

I know there are campsites at the Lake. Check out their website.

[danjor]

So any idea of how many kayakers were talking about that might be going?
Maby we could get a group deal on entry costs?
If not anyone have a link to any online coupons for fishing there?

looks like the prices are pretty much in stone as this is a private lake, 22.00 a head, no license needed, big deal...but they stock big trout and kitties there, big enough for a sliegh ride on the yak, could turn out to be a big group, hopefully the weather cooperates...

[wiseguy]

Might be able to make this! Cool!

[mtnbykr2]

Might be able to make this! Cool!
be nice to see ya out there:reel:

Below is a map of Irvine Lake if you haven't fished it...

You can launch at the boat ramp or the kayak launch closer to the tackle store. There are other kayak launch areas near Trout Islands as well.
Bring you kayak cart for either launch just in case.

motel or something, like we do, there seems to be plenty of them 8-9 miles away from the lake from 60 bucks let me know...:reel:

2 things I noticed on the Lake Irvine Website: Kayaks = Free (there used to be a $5 fee)

[RedSledTeam]

:party:Second, There is a special group rate for groups of 25 or more.

[jorluivil]

2 things I noticed on the Lake Irvine Website: Kayaks = Free (there used to be a $5 fee)

I heard that it used to cost $17 to get in and $5 for the kayak: $22

Now it cost $22 and your kayak is free, or is it?

[mtnbykr2]

I had a couple guys bail I don't think we will make the 25:confused:
besides it's troutdale, nothing is free...lol

[roby]

I updated the original post again....

Second, There is a special group rate for groups of 25 or more. I thought this only applied to camping. I'll check Saturday....

I heard that it used to cost $17 to get in and $5 for the kayak: $22

Now it cost $22 and your kayak is free, or is it? Whatever the cost to get in from previous years Irvine always charged some extra $$$ for float tubers and kayakers. Now both are free to launch.

I had a couple guys bail I don't think we will make the 25:confused:
besides it's troutdale, nothing is free...lol How many from up north?

[StinkyMatt]

$20 that there will be a Blue Xfactor getting escorted from the lake.

That lake just aint big enough for Frank.:)




Getting pretty excited boys, we only need 3 or 4 more guys to make it pay for my new G Loomis 8 foot rod.:the_finger:

[roby]

Attention:

I'm in the process of getting us a group rate. We could each get in to the lake for $17. I will post an update by tonight and also pm kayakers that are attending.

I thought you were saving up to get rid of that thing that's growing on the back of your neck.

[roby]

We don't all have to be at the lake at the same time. Just show up between 6-7am and you're good.

Attention:

I'm in the process of getting us a group rate. We could each get in to the lake for $17. I will post an update by tonight and also pm kayakers that are attending.We were able to get a group discount for 17 adults at $17 per admission. There is no kayak launch fee. I will pre-pay the total tomorrow morning. When you get to the lake tell the staff you are with the "Money Between Friends Kayak Fishing Tournament." The staff will check your name off on a list (do not pay the staff). You will then go to the kayak launch parking lot (in front of the tackle store) and get your sticker from me and pay me for the lake entrance and $$$ for the MBF.

I will be in a white Nissan Frontier truck (Olive Hobie Revolution).
(213) 663-5243

Total: $17 + $10 = $27

* Guys that are camping on Friday night: tell the Irvine Staff the same thing. On Saturday morning you can pick up your sticker and pay $$ for the MBF in the same way.

** The 18th person on the list will not get a discount.
