May 3rd 2014 HOW Mission Bay Tournament - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fishin' Magician · 04-18-2014, 09:49 AM

Hate to ask a stupid question but as this is the first kayak tournament I've ever entered, how do you keep the fish you catch fresh long enough to be weighed? Is there a channel that is used to call the weigh boat over to your location or does everyone just keep their catch in some kind of cooler or bait tank until weigh in time?

Here fishy, fishy, fishy......

Most of use will have livewells on our Kayaks, some use mesh bags, but there will be 2 weigh boats that when you catch a legal fish, you call them, probably on channel 68 unless they choose a different one, and they will come weigh your catch.

Just an update for you guys that are fishing or on the fence. You will all be fishing to win a Brand New Wilderness Systems kayak for 1st place. Donated by Wilderness for this event it will be either a RideX115 or a Ride 135 (Checking on-hand stock and ordering boat today).

Werner Paddles has also donated a paddle for the tournament which will be used as a placement prize as well.

A full list of prizes will be posted hopefully a the end of this week when I finish gathering details form our sponsors.

CJ awesome prize man, great odds for coming home with a boat as well.

Need to order some smaller swimbaits for this one just in case the weather up north BLOWS, I will travel south and outfish a bunch of guys

at something I have never done.

I will be a last minute entry but should know by Wednesday or Thursday if I am gonna make the trip up to CenCal or not.

Tight Lines and Tighter Drags is my tip too all of you.

Confirmed that First place will be for a 2014 Wilderness Systems RideX 115. That is worth over 1000.00 with great odds of winning!
