CASH Jackpot 3/8 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

aguachico · 03-02-2008, 08:44 AM

That's right it's time to it again. This coming Saturday should have things turned around in the LJ fishing department.

I will be on the beach Saturday from 0430-0530. I will be collecting $20 from anyone that believes they are luckier than the pros. The final weigin is at 1030 on the beach for yaks 1000 at the reserve edge for the skiffs.
If you are a late launcher, I can be reached on CH71 and you can give me your $20.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME IN SMALL PRINT ON THE BACK OF THE BILL.

To recap this jackpot's history. About three years ago, the first one. About $200-$300. Money was collected and Iceman was the first to launch. He barrels past the bait spot to his secret spot claiming to make bait there. His dead stick is bit and within the first hour, the jackpot was over before it started with a 50#-class WSB.

Then we tried it again. Skunk.

Then we did it the next year. I followed Brad around until I saw a school a bait on the meter and snagged a 15# YT on the iron. The Adi on the skiff gets a nice lambette, but it was a few pounds shy of my YT. $200.
Thanks Brad.

Then we tried again last year. HUGE surf.

Then this year $300. Skunk.

So let's try it again Saturday, these will be fun until a new WCW format may remove the need for spontaneous jacpots.

Money already collected:
Fishniado
HolyMac
Corey
MadSCi
NeilB
Tyler

I hear there maybe a virgin launch by a sickly admin. I'd love to hear some bleating on the water, then watch the real competition begin

So come out newbies and pros, old and young and give me your $20.

That's pretty confident sounding..

Wish I could join... Saturdays are a no-go for me. Work.... And I don't feel like losing 20 bones..

Sweet, time to dust off the kayak!

tylerdurden · 03-02-2008, 11:08 AM

I'm in. Already all paid up from the last skunk.

Art, it was not 50 pounds and it was not a WSB.....it was a 41#YT

Hmmmmm how can I get in on this and get to Fred Hall Long Beach?

10 people.

Pat was the only one to hookup and get dragged around. He thinks BSB, I say big ass YT. Hook pulled.

Art, Imagine if you guys just kept all that dough in the pot and added to it next
time. The $20 is already spent, but the jackpot would be much larger next time.

Was planning on making that one, but sick as a dog this morning. Since the
bite has been non-existant, I decided to sleep in until 7am for once.

Bummer about the farming...

Dave;
going to try as soon as the bite picks up. It would be cool to have a 10-20 yaker turnout.

Everyone has the flu bug. Get well.

FISHIONADO · 03-12-2008, 07:33 AM

I missed it because I was traveling to China, still there, but I took this photo last Saturday around 10:00am on my way out. Is that Pat being dragged south by a BSB? I was hoping to get a better shot of the kelp coverage.

Handymansd · 03-12-2008, 11:27 AM

Wow Dave, great shot of our stomping grounds!

Not a bad shot of the kelp coverage, just needs a little photo shop help!

thanks for sharing!

Handymansd · 03-12-2008, 11:38 AM

Voila... 2 minutes!

aguachico · 03-12-2008, 12:02 PM
