43 years of tamales is enough for me.....................that is unless my mom made them. Nuttin like momma's cooking:D

I'll have a tamale or six..............everything taste good when its free;)

These are home made green chile chicken tamales from my mom's mothers recipe brought years ago from Mexico City. You be the judge.

I don't think I have ever been to one of these where so many people have signed up. This is going to be great.

Last time I fished Mission Bay was for the WON kayak tournament series back in 2008 or 2009. If I remember correctly there were over 140, maybe as high as 150+ kayaks that day. Plastic Navy archives would have the correct count.

We filled the basin on the start. Not quite as bad as the earlier aerial photo posted here.

There was 220 for that event.

THINK about the amount of money this is generating for HOW!!!!

If you are not on the list yet HELP OUT HOW come on down and participate! Every dollar helps, and just think about all the great people you could meet and fish with.

Maybe next year!

I'm bringing the original version of the Kamprite. I was paid a pretty penny for the idea...Jim

Yeah Jim brought his original "Kamprite" to Gonzaga a couple of weeks ago... All the video I took I didn't even think to take a video or even a picture of it. Believe me it was a real beauty!!!! Well thru the Magic of the modern computer and some top of the line CGI, I have reconstructed into digital form of what Jim's "kamprite" looked like.

By the way just signed up for the tournament so it's official! It's gonna be fun!

So who exactly is this Cole Man that Jim was inside??? :D

Mike! Room for one more Friday night Holmes...

Tony, that is not how I remember it! The top of the tent was MUCH flatter, as it was BEATING Jim about the head and shoulders in 40 mph winds.

No worries.......I'm good with just fishing for bass. I asked because I didn't want to guess and put myself in a situation where my catch -if any- would be questioned. Really looking forward to this event. Thanks again for the reply!

When Tony explained it to me this is exactly how I imagined it.

I have a extra kayak someone could borrow its one of those PA if anyone care to borrow it or wants to bring a friend that doesnt have a kayak

You know how everyone talks about what a nice man MakoBob is..."he's so welcoming"..."he's very generous"..."Bob is The Man"...Bob's tamales are the best!"...blah, blah, blah...
I know him just a bit...differently. He won't hesitate to inject fear and terror into others (me). Spins it slowly...lays out his bait for others (me) to naively take...
"Look out for the SCORPIONS..." says Bob...

Huh...? Did Bob just say SCORPIONS?
"Yep, they happen to enjoy Las Encantadas as much as the people"...
Boom, the Kamprite was invented...Jim

Yes SIR that Scorpion was 3+ inches, and had me shaking as I killed it, on the BRIGHTER side if someone brings a portable Black light they might never come back to the desert. The big ones are much safer than the tiny ones, just remember to shake out your shoes before you put them on each day.

HOW tournament is SATURDAY only 2 days left, guessing we are over 80 signed up now. Get your family, friends and neighbors and join us to SUPPORT Hero's on the Water. Great cause, fun get together and good food too. Somebody has to win this thing, WHY NOT YOU!!!.
Hope to see you all there.

Wish I could make it but the Central Coast is calling my name and I need a couple days away from the computer and other forms of communication and Sur does just that for me,

I like to break it down like this.

Good Friends + Good Girls + Good Beer + Good Music + arguably the most BEAUTIFUL stretch of coast line in the WORLD + GREAT FISHING = MY MECCA

Have fun at the HOW Tournament, raise some cash and have some fun.

I'm using fly's only this time I hope I don't get disqualified ....LOL
:rolleyes::D

Weigh boat Mad Lamb will be reporting on duty, as every year.

Heads up - different boat this year; look for 26' Glacier Bay cat.

Thank you, I'm sure you're going to be busy.

2011 Hobie PA sheeping Mad Lamb around as he weighs in fish...will be me :the_finger:

This is looking to be an amazing turn out for the HOW program. I've seen photos of events that are help back East and none of them appear to have as many people attending as this event looks to have. This is going to be an amazing event. Can't wait to see everyone Saturday.

Noob ??
 

Sorry for the noob ? So if we do the weigh boats do we still need to weigh in at the end? I don't have nor want to put the fish on a stringer and do not have a livewell

Weigh boats make keeping fish alive until release very easy. You can weigh with boats and release immediately, no need to keep fish all day. They appreciate it and makes easier for you!

You're' a good man Adi. Thank you for helping out all these years. :luxhello: Looking forward to seeing you again Saturday.

AND Adi a bunch of us newb's are also looking forward to meeting YOU, some of us, like me for the FIRST TIME! Thank you for being there for OUR COMMUNITY..

hope you like grilled thresher tacos! Tommy of Catalina Offshore has come through and gave us a smoking deal on 40# of T shark to grill up.

I hope he threw in a few BubbaBlades to help slice and dice! Gotta love Tommy. :luxhello:

Tick tock............

Just 24 more hours to go.... Just hope the wind dies down!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy.....

Is the Cuda 14 the only item that is going to be raffled off?

There are no raffle items specifically for this tournament. The cuda 14 raffle goes through July 4th I believe.

Been doing a little cooking in the garage this week. Find me for free samples while they last. Getjonzd Lures..

I'll be there. I'm just gonna pay in the morning. Made it back to San Diego after all

I could use a few of those.

Hope to see ya'll soon!
