Eighth Annual
La Jolla Kayak Fishing - Steve Moyer Memorial Kayak Fishing Tournament September 11th 2010

Presented by Maui Jim Sunglasses

Rules/Entry Form/Waiver • Map/Directions to the La Jolla Launch site

All proceeds to the American Cancer Society

It is time again for the most celebrated and longest running offshore kayak fishing tournament in the world.

This year we are very excited to announce our partnership with Maui Jim Sunglasses. Maui Jim has donated $1000 as a prize for the single largest fish landed in the tournament.

It has been called the Super Bowl of Kayak fishing tournaments and is definitely the most prestigious kayak fishing event of the year on the West Coast. Each year this event gets bigger, with 200 participants in 2006, and each year the weigh-in, after-party, raffle and BBQ gets better.

Named after our good friend, kayak fisherman, and all around waterman Steve Moyer, this event has earned over $55,000 for the American Cancer Society and we hope to make a bigger contribution each year. Steve lost his battle with cancer over eight years ago; we want to do our part to help stop this disease.

With great sponsors on board each year, everyone walks away a winner, and thanks to the participants' generosity so does our charity.

You will be up against some of the top kayak anglers from around the country, and each year some real Big Fish hit the scales. We have Yellowtail, Halibut and White Seabass in our waters and I am sure a big one will top the charts again this year.

It seems each year we hear of a kayak angler in need and each year we have done what we can to help them. This year a good friend and kayak angler from Nor Cal, Joel, Mooch, Lotilla, is in the battle for his life against stage four lung cancer. We will once again be donating a portion of the proceeds from this tournament to Joel to help him with his medical bills.

This year to make things simple we have gone back to our original format and that is a straight single largest fish tournament. Each angler may weigh in one fish, largest fish wins. We will be paying down 5 places, with the largest fish winning the $1000.00

Each entrant will receive an event T-shirt, lunch ticket; Jackpot entry and one raffle ticket. More raffle tickets may be purchased the day of the event. All proceeds from the raffle and silent auction will go to the ACS as well as all funds retained after expenses have been paid. Once again the launch will be from the La Jolla Shore boat launch and the weigh in will be held at Kate Sessions Park on Mt. Soledad. With a deadline for weigh in at 1:30pm

Those that enter the event before August 31 will be entered into our on the water drawings for great prizes donated by OEX.

We can always use extra donations and help with this event so if you would like to donate or volunteer your time please use our Web form to contact us ASAP.

To see any updates for the event, see who is entered, and a list of our sponsors please visit our Steve Moyer Memorial Forum.

I signed up. I had a dream that I caught a big halibut 10 minutes before the time limit, paddled my kayak like a cigarette boat to get to the launch to win the contest, then threw up on the beach. I want to win like that!

I think I remember that... :) vaguely!

Gee, has it been that long ago :(

Funny, we're moving this weekend, and as I was digging through the piles of my fishing crap, I found the aged pinkesh newspaper page...

Thanks for the plug Dave - the new gang will get to see that their admin at least used to fish on the kayak, back in the day... :D

Can't recall who placed 2nd in that tournament? :D

What was more impressive than the last minute heroics was the fella in that picture donated a huge chunk of his winnings to promote the following year's BWE competition at a time when he could have used the money.

Our last shoot was in northern Canada, way north. Great, what you could call WFO, fishing for Northern Pike. Quantity and Quality. Also got lake trout, Walleye and Grayling. Fantastic trip.
This is one of hundreds of Pike we caught.

We actually got 160 Pike in one day between 3 guys, super fun fishing.

As soon as I get more of the photos from our photographer I will put a full report up on our blog.

Is this a spearfishing tourney? Reference Waiver portion of the form.

Nope, guess I forgot to delete that sentence from the waver. We did a spear fishing division in the past but the support from the spero community was not strong enough to keep the division in there.
