We Need More Tournaments for us Kayakers
It's come to my attention that we just don't have enough tournaments here in the West for us Kayakers. Sure we see the boats having their tourneys, but why are we left out? Is it lack of involvement, sponsors, locations? What ever it is we need to figure out a way to get more of these going out here.

I havent seen you place or registered at a single one this year?
 Support our local California Kayak Fishing Community.. Because if you don't then the GREAT ones like the Moyer ect will be defunct, and then asking for more!?... Plenty of sponsors and prizes including a Hobie live Well. The 2013 C.K.F.S. was put in place specifically & exactly for this reason... http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=16364 Please support Patricks' Bass & Brew also!

Ahhh......ahem!
Mine isn't exactly a tournament, but you can make all the side bets you want that day. And console yourself with a beer if you lose. 😃 Patrick 🐟🍻 |

Wade, this isn't the only Kayak fishing website, there are others and I do participate in those tourneys. I don't understand your attack upon my suggestion.
I have signed up and particpated in the OEX tourneys the last couple of years, the OBB, and a few others. I also have a family so I'm not always able to cut off from them. The point of this thread was not to wage a fight with anyone but to try and find out why there are tourneys almost every weekend on the East Coast but out here we have to beg and scrape to get any going. I don't get it.

What I am doing, is putting it into proper perspective.. I am talking about this year, not several years ago.. Consistency is key in all things in life, especially fishing. We all have families, thats how we all originally got here... The C.K.F.S. was designed for the family man, and the conservationist in mind..Open dates as to not put pressure on our fisheries, with some tourneys open for several months.. Compete on your own schedule, and it also provides the Angler with more potential trophy opportunities without weather conflicts..Take it easy..No one is 'waging a war'???...  I just don't get it either...There is more overall interest in Marsh-Carp events Vs. a quality Pelagic tourny?... somethin' ain't right bubba...

I'm with you there and I will be signing up for the events. I talk to the East Coast Promotional guys all the time and see what they are catching, and it's no joke, but I don't see many of them pulling on what we have out here. The East Coasters seem to not give us much credit, but it's time we take that back.

QUOTE] Wade, I like the concept. Just not much into competing when I'm trying to relax. Hey, what happened to the March Sea Bass CKFS? Never saw the results. Also, I think hiding results during a month long tourney takes away from a few things...building camaraderie, cheering others on, encouraging some to keep going at it...etc...just trying to help. While I'm at it...I have another suggestion if I may(!)...hand out those little stupid trophies that people can hang on their avatars  . I would love to sport one of those babies if I were lucky enough to earn one...2013 March Bluegill 3rd Place Champion. I'd sport that thing and walk around with both hands flashing: Jim

 Stevoo secured the win!  All standings are always posted up to date on the main thread: http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=16364 The C.K.F.S. does not hide any results. It just allows each competitor the option of holding out. Anglers may post up their results at anytime & are encouraged to. Respectfully, I wouldn't dare ever add my little series of trophies to BWE when W.C.W. is only three trophies deep & given out exclusively to the most dedicated hardcore kayak fisherman & rightfully so.

Seems like I've been fishing in one every month or so all year! Sure - most are not one day big affairs, but they are tournaments nonetheless...
Wade made a post nearly identical to yours some time ago - then did something about it! I've been trying to support every part of the series, even though I don't have much chance of winning due to lack of fishing mojo... But yes, you are correct - the east coast seems to get all the good tournaments... |

That's all I'm saying, let's all work together on this, and I know Wade has been doing an outstanding job on this, and I'm going to participate in these more myself. In no way am I trying to step on any toes or take any credit for anything. I'm trying to get more involved. I apologize if anything I said upset anyone.

Jimmy, we need to get to know each other as a like minded community. Give it time. I think it is going to be a while before we get a core group together that has the kind of comraderie that the original BWE guys had and I'm sure still have. For me, I fish because I really like fishing. I don't have a single "Fishing Buddy", that is, someone I fish with on a regular basis. I am always up to fish with anyone that's on the water with me. I recently met Wade and I think he and I will fish together soon. Summer is coming and I think there will be more people looking to angle together.

Jimmy, you started this thread on the 6th day after I joined the BWE Community last year, and it helped to give me direction. There have been ups and downs but we are coming together. OEX and BWE are a place for all of us to hang out and learn. Members like Mr Patrick, Drake, Wade, are pouring their hearts into OUR community. Let's not forget Andy, CJ, Adi, and Iceman, Team Sewer, The Lollipop Guys, any many others are contributing to our comrodary and humor. We are all together moving forward, where we end up is unknown but 2014 is miles ahead of 2013. Thanks to every contributing member we are all winners. More tournaments, more fish togethers, more fun, together we ARE doing it. Work hard, play hard and FISH HARDER.
