2018 Mission Bay Classic Kayak Tournament

[sdyeti]

Hey all was talking with Ryan ( I think?) this morning in the parking lot at OEX and apparrently there is a half-marathon going around Mission Bay happening on the morning of the 14th.

Looking through their website it appears that the course is will cross Mission Blvd at San Rafael St which is north of Santa Clara. Mission Blvd MAY BE CLOSED up there for part of the morning. You might want to plan on accessing OEX from the south using Mission Bay Dr to Mission Blvd to Santa Clara.

Race Course: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1475642689/

I'm not 100% sure this is the best route and I haven't been able to find any notices about road closures related to the Half-Marathon event yet. But its something to think about and keep in mind as you plan for the 14th.

Is it possible to register for both the bass and halibut divisions? Pay a double entry and fish atrificials only?

No. Have to fish one or the other. Sorry.

Ok, thanks! Just asked because I usually catch Halibut as a bycatch while targeting bass.

Just signed up and looking forward to fishing my 1st MB classic !

I shot an email to the half marathon people about Road closures and this is what they said, Sea World Drive and Mission Bay Drive will be closed from 4:00am-8:00am. Thanks for bringing up the topic!

Can you fish both halibut and bass tournament? Or just one?

[Mr. NiceGuy]

PLEASE CLARIFY:

1. Where on Santa Clara is the launch point, weigh-in and barbecue going to be set up? Near OEX on the north end, or near the larger parking lot on the south end?

2. East side facing the bay or in the coves on the west side?

I would rather plan for this now than fumbling around or guessing at 3am on Saturday morning.

Thanks!

[Iceman]

most people launch from the beach on the NE side near the ball field parking in the lot near OEX BBQ is right next to OEX

This link shows what/where they closed last year.

Looks like there was at least one lane open on W Mission Bay Drive and Seaworld Dr at all times.

Mission blvd at San Rafael place was closed between 0700-0800. They may have let people through as breaks in the runners allowed.

Below was copied and pasted form the linked site:
Onramp to Ingraham/W. Mission Bay Drive will be closed from 6:35 – 7:20 a.m. To access Ingraham, cars will be directed to continue on Sea World Drive and make a U-Turn at Nimitz.

Again, for whatever reason I havn't been able to find anything published yet about what is actually closed or open yet for this year's event. Do your own due diligence and plan accordingly is all I can currently suggest.

[Iceman]

For a safe bet I would plant to take Grand to Mission Blvd to Santa Clara Place.

They just emailed me back with a clarification, they said Sea World drive West bound will be closed but the east bound lane will be open. For mission bay drive, one lane will be closes but SDPD will be there is a solution for both directions to be drivable.

Noob here and I may have missed it but where will the weigh in boats be? Moving? anchored? What is the deal for that?

[GetBentFishing]

This might be a dumb question but I just want to be prepared
On the rules list it states no propulsion system “human power only”
Mirage drive are ok right🤦X♂️

yes.

[Iceman]

2 weigh boats will move through their designated areas.

Captains meeting at 6:45 before shotgun start at 7 for the bass division.

[tstephens3232]

The wife and I are both paid for the halibut division but not 100% in yet.

Thought I read somewhere that you don't need to be present for the raffle, is that correct? If make it we might have to get back home early.
