Battle of the Bays... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Saba Slayer · 04-17-2017, 07:13 AM

The Battle of the Bays Tournaments are fundraisers for the Coastal Conservation Association. I'm working with CCA money to fund these events...t-shirts, lunch, plaques, PayPal, and the printing of the flyers is coming out of the registration funds collected. We need at least 30 anglers signed up to make a go of it and not loose any money on this first event.
I've personally collected over $14,000 in prizes and gift cards to use as 1st thru 4th place prizes and as raffle prizes. The prizes range from t-shirts and hats and swim baits to a 4 day all expense paid trip to Cedros Kayak Fishing. Most participants will probably win something in the raffle since there are about 40 sponsors that have donated products including an i11s Hobie inflatable Mirage Drive kayak (valued at $2149).
Go to www.battleofthebays.com to register and for more info...click on the May 6th date button and it will send you to the iAngler app where you will register and go to PayPal to pay your $60...THE CCA MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED TO ENABLE MORE KAYAK ANGLERS TO AFFORD TO PARTICIPATE!

The advance registrations are coming in really slow...so...to spice things up a little, I'm offering a Phenix Inshore Rod to one of the first twenty anglers that sign up at iAngler. This will be a special drawing for just the first 20 that sign-up. This rod is valued at $179.00

You know, the mandatory CCA membership is what stopped me from signing up, fishing buddies decided the same.

Not that I don't support what you guys do, its just too much $ at once.

But now that's removed, may have to reconsider.

I never read anything about a captains meeting - both in the rules or on the flier. Where did you see the details on that? If there is, and its mandatory I'm screwed - the wife will not be happy me taking off on our 20th wedding anniversary...

The iangler site has a captain's meeting listed for 4/29 at 10am. I guess that's the Saturday prior.
