CASH Jackpot 3/8

[aguachico]

That's right it's time to it again. This coming Saturday should have things turned around in the LJ fishing department.

I will be on the beach Saturday from 0430-0530. I will be collecting $20 from anyone that believes they are luckier than the pros. The final weigin is at 1030 on the beach for yaks 1000 at the reserve edge for the skiffs.
If you are a late launcher, I can be reached on CH71 and you can give me your $20.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME IN SMALL PRINT ON THE BACK OF THE BILL.

To recap this jackpot's history. About three years ago, the first one. About $200-$300. Money was collected and Iceman was the first to launch. He barrels past the bait spot to his secret spot claiming to make bait there. His dead stick is bit and within the first hour, the jackpot was over before it started with a 50#-class WSB. :the_finger:


Then we tried it again. Skunk.

Then we did it the next year. I followed Brad around until I saw a school a bait on the meter and snagged a 15# YT on the iron. The Adi on the skiff gets a nice lambette, but it was a few pounds shy of my YT. $200.
Thanks Brad.

Then we tried again last year. HUGE surf.

Then this year $300. Skunk.

So let's try it again Saturday, these will be fun until a new WCW format may remove the need for spontaneous jacpots.

Money already collected:

I hear there maybe a virgin launch by a sickly admin. I'd love to hear some bleating on the water, then watch the real competition begin :D

So come out newbies and pros, old and young and give me your $20.

That's pretty confident sounding.. :D

Wish I could join... Saturdays are a no-go for me. Work.... And I don't feel like losing 20 bones..:cool:

[Holy Mackerel]

Sweet, time to dust off the kayak! :kayak-surfer:

[tylerdurden]

I'm in. Already all paid up from the last skunk.

[Iceman]

Art, it was not 50 pounds and it was not a WSB.....it was a 41#YT:D

Hmmmmm how can I get in on this and get to Fred Hall Long Beach?

[aguachico]

Oh yeah, I remember paddling away from you, cursing you and praying it was a BSB.

Launch, fish until 10am and leave. Get the underlings to man the booth.

[lamb]

Damn, he is getting old.

From what I recall, my tail from JP back then was like 17#, and he had a shorter fat 20+ pounder. :rolleyes:

Are we sure we want a guy with this sort of memory to hold on to our money? :D

Hopefully, I'll be well enough by next Saturday to be in.

[esdees]

If I can fish Saturday then I'll join in.

[Corey]

Sorry I wrote my name so big, Art.:D

[Handymansd]

Sorry, Long Beach Fred Hall... and I'm in need of my yearly purchase of terminal tackle!

[aguachico]

$200 can buy a lot of swivels and hooks.

[Lit-up1]

I will be there unless I go to Long Beach show---

[madscientist]

I feel that competitions are killing the sport of kayak fishing. I want my money back.









Just kidding. :D

See ya Saturday.:cheers1:

[dorf]

I don't have any bills on me. Will this do?
Do I need to write my name on each coin?

10# minimum? Or just a legal sized fish from the 3?

I hope it doesn't come to that.

[aguachico]

Legal size.

So a 2# yt could be worth a few bucks.

[Handymansd]

From the conditions OTW, it looks like it should be the Big Mac Jackpot.... maybe you guys can get a McDonalds sponsor this time around?:rolleyes:

Seriously... no Ill will, I hope everyone catches moocho poundage!:D

[FISHIONADO]

I won't be able to make it, business requires me to travel this weekend to be in China next week. Can you hold on to my bill for the next one? I'm due to get lucky on one of these things. Hope you guys nail some quality fish.

oh HELL no. :D - have a good trip. You know this means WFO fishing!!

[dorf]

Coins counted and exchange for a bill for my buy in.:luxhello:
See you dark and early!
Good luck to all.

[Pat]

Art, See ya on the beach w/ my money :party:

[Corey]

Sorry guys, can't make it after all. Art, keep my money until the next one, that is if you can tell which $20 iis mine.;):D

[aguachico]

10 people.

Pat was the only one to hookup and get dragged around. He thinks BSB, I say big ass YT. Hook pulled.

Hasta

[wavster]

Art, Imagine if you guys just kept all that dough in the pot and added to it next
time. The $20 is already spent, but the jackpot would be much larger next time.

Was planning on making that one, but sick as a dog this morning. Since the
bite has been non-existant, I decided to sleep in until 7am for once.

Bummer about the farming...

[aguachico]

Dave;
going to try as soon as the bite picks up. It would be cool to have a 10-20 yaker turnout.

Everyone has the flu bug. Get well.

[FISHIONADO]

I missed it because I was traveling to China, still there, but I took this photo last Saturday around 10:00am on my way out. Is that Pat being dragged south by a BSB? I was hoping to get a better shot of the kelp coverage.

[Handymansd]

Wow Dave, great shot of our stomping grounds!:trytofly: Not a bad shot of the kelp coverage, just needs a little photo shop help!:luxhello: thanks for sharing!

[Handymansd]

Voila... 2 minutes!:cool:
