Seventh Annual
La Jolla Kayak Fishing - Steve Moyer Memorial Kayak Fishing and Spear Fishing Tournament September 12th 2009 Rules/Entry Form/Waiver • Map/Directions to the La Jolla Launch site
All proceeds to the American Cancer Society
It is time again for the most celebrated offshore kayak fishing tournament in the world and this year it will be even BIGGER.
It has been called the Super Bowl of Kayak fishing tournaments and is definitely the most prestigious kayak fishing event of the year on the West Coast. Each year this event gets bigger, with 200 participants in 2006, and each year the weigh-in, after-party, raffle and BBQ get better.
This year we are bringing back the Spear Fishing division to the Moyer Memorial to make this event bigger and better than ever.
Named after our good friend, kayak fisherman, and all around waterman Steve Moyer, this event has earned over $45,000 for the American Cancer Society and we hope to make a bigger contribution each year. Steve lost his battle with cancer over six years ago; we want to do our part to help stop this disease.
With great sponsors on board each year, everyone walks away a winner, and thanks to the participants' generosity so does our charity.
You will be up against some of the top kayak anglers and spear fisherman from around the country, and each year some real Big Fish hit the scales, this is no bass tournament, but you don't have to have the biggest fish to win. We have Yellowtail, Halibut and White Seabass divisions for the big fish anglers, but we also have the "Other Division" in which the winner may be a Barracuda, Bonita or even a Mackerel. In 2007 we added a catch-photo- and release bass division, sponsored by the Kayak Fishing association of California, and we will have this again in 2009. Along with our contribution to the ACS we will be giving one dollar from each entry to the KFACA to help fight for our fishing rights.
Due to the feedback we received from last years participants we are moving the weigh in and barbeque back to Kate Sessions Park on Mt. Soledad.
Each entrant will receive an event T-shirt, lunch ticket; captain's bag, Jackpot entry and one raffle ticket. More raffle tickets may be purchased the day of the event. All proceeds from the raffle and silent auction will go to the ACS as well as all funds retained after expenses have been paid. Once again the launch will be from the La Jolla Shore boat launch and the weigh in will be held at Kate Sessions Park on Mt. Soledad. With a deadline for weigh in at 1:30pm
Those that enter the event before August 22 will be entered into our on the water drawings for great prizes donated by OEX.
We can always use extra donations and help with this event so if you would like to donate or volunteer your time please use our Web form to contact us ASAP.
