2012 SD Anglers Open Bay Bass Tournement
 

Roll call!

These guys raise a TON of money for Children's Hospital. Your $65 entry gets you a killer t shirt, and great lunch. Raffle prizes from plasma TV to trips, gear etc.

OEX is sponsoring the kayak division and hope to be well represented! You compete in the kayak division as well as the over all standings. If you like tugging on sandies, spotties and calicos join us on Saturday February 4th at SD Bay.

Represent oex
 

Ill be there ,but will need some decals to represent.i have a hobie outback.i will be buying from your store soon I need a rectangular bag for the Malibu kayak,send me some decals that won't come off.
:you_rock:

Disregard the cut off date on the application, it states January 5th post dated deadline. This has been extended.

I would put my money on a kayak angler taking the $150 biggest spottie!

Likely 20-30 guys competing for a $500 OEX gift card. This would buy alot of nice stuff............nicer seat, paddle.....extra mirage drive. pfd, apparel, anything we sell.

Crack the top 25 and you will be in the Spring Invitational.

You are also competing against the boating teams for $1500 1st place price, with payouts for the top 25.

Let them all go, especially this guy. Gently placed him back in the water and told him I'll be back on the 4th if he can meet me in the same place, and bring along his brothers :)

Sweet. I'm looking forward to it myself.

Nice...........did someone say "Tail Gatin' Breakfast Burritos?" :D

Is there still time to enter? I was thinking of paying my fee next Friday? Can I take care of that through you Andy?

That was a great seminar today.

I'm in and ready to fish.

Is the weigh in for Kayakers different from the boaters?
Will there be weigh boats or is it all done on shore?

Jimmy, no weigh boats and we are just sponsoring the prize. Entry is done through SD Anglers.

looks like that area is outside of the mouth of the bay and out of bounds for the tourny?

PS. that also looks pretty close to the new "cabrillo mpa"

Nah ... that pic is much farther inside the bay than the picture must appear. Especially since I was pointing toward the mouth of the bay, and not a side shot of the bay.

Looking at a map, with legal fishing for the tournament is to draw a line from "Point Loma to Zuniga Point" and anywhere within the SD Bay.

Of course, the way the tide in that area pulls at ya, you could be over that invisible tournament line before you know it.

The mpa is still out there a ways from the pic, and around the corner just a bit. I was parallel to Pt Loma most of the day, and not around Cabrillo point.

Still time???
 

Can we still sign up or to late? :o

I will check into the deadline and see if walk ups will be allowed.

I'm down. What time does everyone plan on getting there?

Please post up ASAP if I can sign up at walkup of even on line still I'll sign up.

Is everyone launching at Shelter Island?

yep

As far as I know everyone is required to launch at SI.

I'm In. Talked to Dwayne and he said I can still enter. Entry form has been sent in.

I'm excited now. I can't wait. Andy who will be inspecting the Kayaks prior to launch and what time will that be? What time do you all recommend heading down there for parking?

Jimmy,

They will have volunteers check us off. We all launch from the beach just to the right of the boat ramp. They won't start until all boats entered are on the water, between 1st light and sunrise. Get there b4 6am.

Monday is the LAST DAY to send in your entry form! no walk ups!!!

LiveWell
 

Andy what are you using for a Livewell? I am going to rig up a cooler I have so that if I do catch some keepers they won't be cramped up in my bait tank.

Hobie livewell

Carpool
 

Anyone in the inland empire that's going and want to carpool.i live in Ontario will pitch in for gas.
:reeling:

Squid strips
 

I was reading the rules and it states that no fined bait are allowed on the boat before launch, but Squid strips are, are they talking like 5 strips, or what? I would mind having a little squid along for the ride.

I talked to Wayne about that,he said one tray of squid from market was fine.they are trying to discourage people that take 50lbs.he said they had people show up with a bucket of chopped up squid.

That's what I was thinking. I'm probably going to get a tray and have it all chopped before the tourney. That way I don't have to cut it on the water. Why do we have to wait a week? I want to fish now.

OEX Stickers
 

Hey Andy will you have any OEX Stickers with you? Since getting my new Yak I haven't stickered it up as well as my other one was.

Hey Andy are you going to fish with three rods or four.??

Andy are you going stop at Dennys for breakfast or eat a doughnuts at the launch?
