april 16th Mission Bay Bass Tourney
 

Wanna pull on some hard fighting spotties, this place is loaded with them. Always fun, my favorite bay to fish in. Tons of eel grass and spotties. Biggest 5 bass wins, also a big bass jackpot, bbq and raffle to follow.

Last year Steve and I hit La Jolla after for a marathon day..........thinking that should be a tradition!

WOW... There is going to be an army of kayakers!!!

Looking forward to the event. I really wanted to fish it last year but was not able.

More like a "navy of kayaks" :D

The beginnings of floatopia!!

it's a long haul for a day, but I think the "northshore navy" should attend if possible, Frank, Gerard, Eric, Matt...whatcha think?:reel:

I hope you guys do.

Make a day of it. Last year Steve and I left Mission Bay with full bellies and launched at La Jolla about 3:30pm.......and fished until dark........I am thinking of doing that again this year!

sound like alot fun!!!

i'm making plans to be there.

Hey guys just a word on the Captains Meeting on Thursday Night:


At 6pm Moyer will be doing a Seminar on Tournament Preparedness and Strategy.

Afterward the Islander guys (John & Shane) plus Dave Easton will be talking on Kayak Motehrship trips.

Oh yeah, there will be a Keg from Ballast Point as well if you didnt already have enough reason to come. :cheers1:

I'll be working the weigh boat, see you guys

Thank you for donating your time and boat again this year Adi. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Congratulations to Nancy Ortiz in besting the boys. Her kicker fish was good enough to win the $520 jackpot, add that to taking the $500 first prize for the five biggest fish weighed and she took home over a grand. :luxhello:

Nice fish Nancy. WTG on the tourny.

I'm curious how the "after tourney" fishing went as well any love at La Jolla?

WTG Nancy! Congratulations on the win! Why to show the boys how its done!:you_rock:

so 9 got skunked or just didn't catch anything bigger than 12".... I was one of them. :o

What I'd like to know is how did Nancy get in that position? Kneeling BACKWARDs on her kayak!! :confused:

Congrats Nancy and nice job on the pic whoever took that one.

That is called the "Eddie" It is a popular position for winners to take :D

congrats Nancy and thanks to Andy and everyone at OEX, great tournament!

Congratulations Nancy and thanks OEX. Had a great time, it was a good morning of fishing caught a ton of smaller spotties, a few to weigh, two halibut one 15" and the other 21", also got a lizard fish (hate those fish :D). Here are a couple pictures I took before the tournament. The tacos after were grubbing! :cheers1:.
