Just a few days left for this tournament, with all of the kayakers that have confirmed we're just a few short of the 20 mark.

[ful-rac]

We are going to turn to tacos...jorge is gonna make'em. I will supply the secret sauce!

Somebody bring the presto pasta!

[jorluivil]

If everyone that has signed up shows up we're looking at a $400+ jackpot.........get on the list!

For those of you that are border line because you've never fished a tournament before we have kayakers signed up that have only fish a handfull of times and some that have fished several hundred times. Don't be shy, its only $25. Come out and join us!!! I'm frying up some beer battered halibut fish tacos and Tony is making the Team Sewer secret sauce for the tacos. Matt is bringing a 'great desert', most of you know this as Chips Ahoy! We'll have enough food to feed a village full of Tony's!!!

A little more info guys,
Baytuber tournaments have been going on for years.

Kiyo and the crew were doing these get togethers back when kayak fishing forums were barely heard of.
I joined Baytubers in 2007 and at that time we had a tournament every month, with a "BIG Summer Tournament" in August.

Kiyo "retired" about 2 years ago and we are doing our best to continue a fun old tradition.
We try and have a tournament about 4 times a year now.

B.W.E. has always been a welcome part of the fun; Dave (dorado 50) won one of the La Jolla tournaments a couple years ago with a nice yellowtail. (Then fed us like kings the following month)


We also used these tournaments to raise money to fight the MLPA back in the day. (:the_finger:MLPA)


Couple of current facts;
The tournaments are halibut only for now.
You can weigh in 3 fish, with the largest combined weight being the tournament winner.
All halibut must be minimum 24" to be eligible for weigh in.
Tournament cost $25 to enter.
We fish 6am-2pm.
We then have our traditional pot luck, where the winner from the previous tournament cooks the main course and everyone else brings some kind of side dish etc.

There is more too it of course, if you have a question just ask.

All are welcome,
good times and good food guaranteed.
Don

Thanks for posting the background and the hours. I'm on the Eldorado leaving Saturday night, so now I know I can make both. PM sent for more details...

[fishingfiend]

For some reason I thought this was on Saturday. I'll be at San Nicholas on Sunday. Good luck, I'll join you guys next time.

[Bennyblanco]

Put my dish on the list Jorge.:luxhello:

[jorluivil]

You still have time to sign up!!!

24 participants X $25 = $A lot of mula$

Maybe this year someone will catch and break the record for biggest hali of the tournament.
