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.

[NY4Reels!]

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

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?

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.

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♂️

[MITCHELL]

Or can you use two rods to catch bait, in the halibut devision.

[summers in kuwait]

For those you haven't attended this event or for those still debating on attending, this event is one of the funnest and most rewarding events in our local kayak fishing community and helps fundraise for HOW

Andy, Mike and all the volunteers do an absolutely incredible job with this event!

You'll see 100+ kayaks on the water, can ask questions, learn new techniques, see familiar faces and meet new friends, amazing food and a great raffle... this event is one of the best....

Who knows you may even win two kayaks... crazier things have happened.

Cheers and see everyone on the water tomorrow!

[SOSvp1]

Do we need weigh in bags?

[cris]

127 sign ups so far!


I signed up but will be working. Good luck all!

[Iceman]

Mitchel, multiple rods no problem.

In this division you may use live and cut bait and fish more than 1 rod at a time.

[Iceman]

Over 100 players. Your gonna need another weigh boat! or lots of patience.

guys tell stories of catching 30+ bass and none big enough to weigh. 14 " minimum make it tricky!

[GetBentFishing]

Do we get any tickets with the sign up fee or are they purchased separately?

[GetBentFishing]

Also can we fish out passed the jetty? Rules say inside and outside the harbor as
Long as all rules are followed
