For long time tournament trial anglers this event will seem to come out of left field but we've been threatening to do it for a couple of years.

To kick off the kayak fishing season we're holding a freshwater trout event at Irvine Lake. This event will not gain you Angler of the Year award points but you will receive special participation points towards some new prizes (such as a 3 day trip on the Q105! More info on that later)

The rest of the season is scheduled and will be announced later this week. We're very excited about having this event with Lake Irvine and they're making it easy for us to have a successful event. Big thanks to WON, also, and Paul Lebowitz for helping set this up. It's going to be a great season!

Sign-ups will be open soon. Sound fun?

Sounds like fun!

I grew up trout fishing, but it was in the river.

I've done very little trout fishing here. Tried it a few times at Miramar Lake from the shore when we moved to SD.

RIGHT ON PLASTIC NAVY!!!

This is the weekend following the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach. woo hoo.

This will be a great tournament to bring the entire family! Fishing license is NOT required.

Irvine Lake does a fantastic job stocking fish...anyone can catch fish, it can be stupid good at times!:eek:

FYI - they also allow camping at the lake if anyone is interested?

Q. will there be a ladies & kids division?

Thanks PAL, WON & Plastic Navy. :you_rock:
