Sorry, motor free.

I think this has the potential to be tons of fun.

Andy's pretty much got all the answers handled.

The cameras are throwaway 35mm. For the kayak division take a photo on the beach before you launch. Sets the time and place. Then stick it in the plastic zipock and stow away until you get back to the beach with your catch. Then snap a pic of your catch before you haul all your gear back to the truck/car.

The cameras then are developed after the weekend and before any checks are written to confirm the rules were followed. We know you guys are a tight knit group and will probably be fishing next to each other watching each other like hawks so taking a pic of every fish as it's caught with a crappy non waterproof camera isn't necessary. You are more than welcome to take pics with your own cameras or ours while on the water, it's just not required.

The yellowtail tournament has a huge raffle with only anglers showing up getting 1 ticket. If you don't show, no raffle ticket... Makes the odds way better. Majority of the raffle prizes are for all anglers kayak and boat. There is kayak specific raffle prizes as well from what I'm told.
Check out the raffle prizes as they come in.

A HUGE stack of Yeti coolers just came in for give away, couple Traeger grills, Reels from all the manufacturers, rods, sunglasses, etc.

On Sunday we have a local chef representing Traeger Grills cooking up bbq on the Traeger grills as well as sides, dessert and beer being served by the CCA (have to do it this way to be legal).

Each angler also gets an anglers bag worth easily over $100. Hooks, JRI jigs, line, hats, shirts, drinks, all sorts of stuff again this year.

Too bad some of us will be down south in San Quintin, hunting butt, seems very fun though! Hopefully if all goes well we can get another one going later in the season when the bite is really on and more local for the kayakers.. I'd mark my calendar for sure! Cheers to supporting the community!! :cheers1::cheers1:

Thanks for chiming in! I am betting some REALLY nice YT will be caught!:paddleersmilie::reel::yt::wsb::yt::paddlee rsmilie:

And WSB!

1st place winner is going to get $800 and a $1399 kayak, the newly designed Malibu Kayaks Stealth 12. That is a $2199 payout for a kayak division.............nothing to sneeze at!

I signed up for the kayak division, hope to see old and new friends on the water. :cheers1:

Thanks guys!:luxhello:

Am I required to attend the captains meeting? All vacation time is used up so I would make it to camp at night on Friday.

What is the last day to sign up?

Beto, the Captains meeting is required as you would get the camera that is required along with instructions to adhere to the tournament rules and guidelines.

Partner up
 

:reel::reel:
I have sing up for the tournament just wandering if any one want to partner up we can meet saturday morning and take off together, let me know thanks.

oh man!
Andy thanks for doing this and promoting our sport. Hopefully there is a next year so that I can plan to take time off for the captains meeting.

Regrettably the kayak division will not be happening this year due to low number of entries.The folks at BD Outdoors and I agreed that this was for the best. Those entered should have received an e mail and will be refunded entry fee.

Andy that is a bummer BUTT they can still fish the San Quintin Halibut Tourney if they want. Tight Lines.
