I did this tournament last year with the Cobra kayak team. The fishing was fantastic and is well worth the trip. While I didn't catch the big fish, I certainly caught plenty of quality lings, cabezon and assorted rock fish that day. I can't make it this year, but I highly recommend going. Here is Ed's report from last year trip.

Plus the Guys up north are a great bunch to hang with.
