Cucamonga Keith · 06-26-2008, 08:28 PM

BFD & BBQ @ DP
*Big Fish Day & Potluck BBQ at Dana Point

Yep, you guessed it! Another thinly disguised excuse to get out of the house and go kayak fishing. On the other hand, it's for a good cause and you just might take home a few of your buddy's hard earned bucks.

Join us at Baby Beach in Dana Point Harbor on Saturday August 2nd for a friendly get together and pot luck BBQ. Fishingkayaks.net and the Loco Pescadores will supply free hot dogs with all the fixin's. If you can, bring a side dish to share.

Saturday August 2nd - Baby Beach in Dana Point Harbor
2 Jackpots - $20. Antie - Human powered craft only, no motors
Biggest Bass (Calico, Sand, or Spotted Bay Bass)
Biggest Fish (no Bass, Rays, Skates or Sharks)
6:00 - 7:00am launch - Noon Weigh-in - 12:30 BBQ

Half goes to the anglers with the single biggest bass and single biggest fish other than a bass, ray, skate or shark. The other half goes to the KFACA to help represent kayak angling interests during implementation of the California Marine Life Protection Act along our coastline. In the unlikely event that you don't know about the Kayak Fishing Association of California (KFACA) or the series of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) coming soon to southern California, please visit the website at www.kfaca.org for more information.

Right on Keith......any excuse to go fishing. Sounds like a good time, I'll be there!

vikingstar · 06-26-2008, 09:22 PM

Sounds like a great idea. How/when do we register?

We'll post a "roll call" the week before to get an idea how many people might be coming and what kind of side dish or whatever they may want to bring.
Other than that, just show up between 6:00 and 7:00am with $20 and pick which jackpot you want to be in. We're trying to to keep things real simple and just have some fun.

Just a reminder that the BFD & BBQ @ DP to benefit the KFACA is coming up this Saturday August 2nd. Help support the KFACA while maybe taking home a few jackpot bucks yourself. < Click here for details >

There have been good Sand Bass and Calico bites lately along the 'Pipe' and the jetty wall out front and the reefs off Capo. Halibut are on the chew at Doheny, south of the red dinger off the Point and also inside the harbor. The occasional BIG WSB is caught in the kelp off the Point.
Water temp is 67-71.
Incoming 5.8' tide from a minus.
New moon phase with light swells predicted for Saturday. There are also grunion runs predicted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

To help give us some idea of how many people may be showing up (not counting the last minute arrivals), please post your reply on this thread. It won't give us a count but it does help.

So far, we will have plenty hot dogs, buns and condiments + some BBQ chicken and ribs. If you are planning on bringing a side dish, chips, drinks ,etc., that would be great. If you're just bringing an appetite, that's cool too.

BTW: Open containers of alcoholic beverages

are unlawful at Dana Point Harbor and OC Beaches so please don't be caught walking around with any alcoholic beverage containers.

uhhhhh....... You would have to be gay to not like that!!

Cucamonga Keith · 08-03-2008, 03:00 PM

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the BFD & BBQ to benefit the KFACA. I had a great time and seeing all the regulars (you know who you are) and some new faces too.

There were 29 kayak anglers total; 15 entered the Biggest Bass jackpot and 22 entered the Biggest Fish (exlcuding bass, sharks, rays and skates). There were also several people who antied up $40 to enter both Jackpots. Total entries came to $740.

Mike (Margarita Mike) Bohemke won the Bass Jackpot with a 4lb 1oz Sand Bass for $150.

Dave Pliska won the Big Fish Jackpot with a 5lb 4oz Halibut for $220. Dave graciously opted to donate 1/2 of his jackpot to the KFACA.

Together, we raised a total of $500 for the Kayak Fishing Association of California.

Thanks again for participationg and hope to see you all out on the water soon.

Best,

Keith Martin (aka; Cucamonga Keith)
