april 16th Mission Bay Bass Tourney

[Iceman]

Wanna pull on some hard fighting spotties, this place is loaded with them. Always fun, my favorite bay to fish in. Tons of eel grass and spotties. Biggest 5 bass wins, also a big bass jackpot, bbq and raffle to follow.

Last year Steve and I hit La Jolla after for a marathon day..........thinking that should be a tradition!

Congratulations to Nancy Ortiz in besting the boys. Her kicker fish was good enough to win the $520 jackpot, add that to taking the $500 first prize for the five biggest fish weighed and she took home over a grand. :luxhello:

Congratulations Nancy and thanks OEX. Had a great time, it was a good morning of fishing caught a ton of smaller spotties, a few to weigh, two halibut one 15" and the other 21", also got a lizard fish (hate those fish :D). Here are a couple pictures I took before the tournament. The tacos after were grubbing! :cheers1:.
