IMPORTANT info for Sat LJ Benefit Tourney! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dsafety · 06-25-2009, 05:26 PM

Camping could be a problem. There are not many places available. You might try Campland on Mission Bay. Most of the local parks close at sundown. Fiesta Island might be an option. I do not know the rules there. Maybe someone else could weigh in.

A quick note about livewells in the bass division...

Although most of the kayaks registered have adequate livewells big enough for bass, some may not have one. I don't recommend using dive clips to keep bass alive as the clip can thrash a fish's gills causing fatal damage. If you must use a clip - be absolutely sure that the clip is inserted between the gill plate and first gill raker. If the clip goes through the gill rakers (the red fringed breathing apparatus where all of the blood flows through) the fish will suffocate or bleed to death. If you have a livewell, bring it! Even if you think it's too small - bass can at least breathe if they fit inside.

I'm a bass hugger.

I don't want to see mortally wounded fish. If you do not have a livewell, please hail me on Ch. 71 if you catch a big one and we will try and get to you in a timely manner. I can live with weighing a couple bass if you don't have a livewell. My suggestion is to find us out there and fish near us if you don't have a livewell, it would really help us. Duane and I will be out there and fishing (as we are part of the prize structure) and my guess is we will spend time in the inside kelp area. Oh, and remember...dead fish don't count. By dead I mean ranging from can't swim away to ten toes up...we prefer them healthy.

So what are you looking for? Tan/cream colored Crestliner with a white outboard. Two guys on it...I know I will be wearing a red hat. I'm nice and tall and loud, hard to miss me.

Here's a pic for reference:

Have fun, be safe and let's see some big healthy calicos!

Will you have a cell phone with you? Many of us do not have radios.

No Camping on Fiesta Is. It closes at about 10 pm and the cops drive it.

I think at this point a Hotel of Motel would be your best bet. Its Summer time and even they fill up fast.

I live only 5 min. from La Jolla and will be leaving at 2 AM. Not to bad for a great time of

Bob - I will have my cell phone with me, the number is (619) 602-7211. If anyone tries it during the tourney and I don't answer...call back...I'm hard of hearing from all those Jonas Brothers concerts.
