1st Annual Estero Kayak Challenge - June 7, 2015

The tournament is happening in Cayucos, CA on Sunday June 7, 2015. Here are few timeline reminders for those thinking of coming up:

A reminder for people thinking about doing the tournament.

Registered on or before May 1st - T-shirt and a captains bag are included with your registration

Registered after May 1st - No t-shirt included and the Captains bag is not guaranteed. The price also goes up, so register early.

I will try to have a captains bag for all anglers but after May 1st, it is not guaranteed.

This will be the first year of the event and we have some great sponsors coming on board so far. Here is a quick run down on the format but you can visit http://esterobaykayakfishing.blogspot.com/ for more information, registration, and updates. There will also be a great raffle to benefit HOW.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them here or send me a PM. As things happen I'll update the information. Thanks and hope to see some So-Cal Brother's and Sister's at the event!

Fee Breakdown -

$85 for a tournament, WTH! I hear ya, but here is why. This is a cash payout tournament and those payouts come from entry fees. In fact, the purse that the anglers are competing for is entirely dependent on how many people enter the tournament. The more competitors we have the bigger the payouts.

SO TELL YOUR BRO’S!

Here is where your money goes:
½ of each entry goes to winner payouts, the rest goes to shirts, tournament costs, prizes, and Heroes on the Water (HOW).
Entry Fee: $85.00
- $40.00 Tournament purse
$45.00 Tournament costs,
event shirts, prizes, and HOW.

Tournament Payouts:

Competitive Divisions:
All paid competitors are automatically entered into all 4 divisions. These divisions are cash payout divisions and payouts will be determined by the number of competitors entered.

All divisions are based on weight -

Division #1 - Heaviest single Lingcod - 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place
Division #2 - Heaviest single Cabezon - 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place
Division #3 - Heaviest single Rockfish - 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place
Division #4 - Tournament Champ - 1st place only

Division #4 - Heaviest combined catch of 2 fish max. Open to any species that is legal to catch at the time of the tournament. Lings, Halibuts, Salmon, Cabs, WSB, Monkeyface Eel, Shark, etc. If the CA DFW says they are in season then they are fair game.

Payouts/Winning:
Divisions 1 - 3 will award cash payouts to
1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.

1st place - takes 50% of pot
2nd place - takes 30% of pot
3rd place - takes final 20% of pot

Division 4 - The “Tournament Champ” in the 2 fish division is winner take all and will also be awarded a custom trophy.

Total purse and payout is dependent on number of competitors.

Example of purse payouts:

Based on a $500 division purse Based on a $1000 division purse
(based on 50 anglers) (based on 100 anglers)
1st - $250 1st - $500
2nd - $150 2nd - $300
3rd - $100 3rd - $200

Hey gang!

Its April 1st and that means there is only 1 month left for early registration with the included t-shirt and guaranteed Captain's Bag. Also, after May 1, the price goes up too so get those registrations in!

I also, want to let you know that we will be raffling off the awesome, new Thresher 140 from Wilderness Systems Kayaks! All proceeds from the raffle will go to Heroes on the Water and tickets will be for sale at the Captain's meeting the night before the tournament and all day at the event.

See y'all there!
