2018 Mission Bay Classic Results - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fishin' Magician · 04-16-2018, 08:03 AM

I was all set ready to go to Mission Bay to fish in the tournament and had my rods and reels in the car the night before. All I had left to do was to put the kayak on the roof. Turns out that trying to save a little bit of time wasn't the smartest thing to do as someone broke a window to get into my car. It must not have been a fisherman though, as they left the rods and reels alone. Instead of driving down and going fishing with everyone, I spent the day getting the window fixed. I won't do that again.....

Sorry I missed it this year, sounds like everyone had a good time.

Next year for sure!

Yes they were good....especially that tan sauce in the squeeze bottle.

My wife said "we should make more" I saw people struggling to get the last bit too soon.

Baja Sauce

Love this stuff crema, mayo, cumin, adobo peppers and sauce, lime juice, lime zest and sea salt. stick it in the food processor.

Sucks man! I had done the same thing once and never again. Lost 2 rods and tackle box. Thought loading the night before would save me 30 min or so with in 4 hours from when I had to wake up I stepped into a car with the window busted.

It was shear stupidity and I should have known better than to leave my gear out in plain sight. The doors were locked, the car alarm was on, so I was lulled into a false sense of security. Make that insecurity now. You're right, it sucks, but I learned a valuable lesson. I won't be doing that again anytime soon.

As for coming down the night before, that's something that I might have to consider for next year.

Party on!
