You can fish one or the other.

[Mr. NiceGuy]

PLEASE CLARIFY:

1. Where on Santa Clara is the launch point, weigh-in and barbecue going to be set up? Near OEX on the north end, or near the larger parking lot on the south end?

2. East side facing the bay or in the coves on the west side?

I would rather plan for this now than fumbling around or guessing at 3am on Saturday morning.

Thanks!

most people launch from the beach on the NE side near the ball field parking in the lot near OEX BBQ is right next to OEX

This link shows what/where they closed last year.

Looks like there was at least one lane open on W Mission Bay Drive and Seaworld Dr at all times.

Mission blvd at San Rafael place was closed between 0700-0800. They may have let people through as breaks in the runners allowed.

Below was copied and pasted form the linked site:
Onramp to Ingraham/W. Mission Bay Drive will be closed from 6:35 – 7:20 a.m. To access Ingraham, cars will be directed to continue on Sea World Drive and make a U-Turn at Nimitz.

Again, for whatever reason I havn't been able to find anything published yet about what is actually closed or open yet for this year's event. Do your own due diligence and plan accordingly is all I can currently suggest.

[Iceman]

For a safe bet I would plant to take Grand to Mission Blvd to Santa Clara Place.

They just emailed me back with a clarification, they said Sea World drive West bound will be closed but the east bound lane will be open. For mission bay drive, one lane will be closes but SDPD will be there is a solution for both directions to be drivable.

[Flounder]

Noob here and I may have missed it but where will the weigh in boats be? Moving? anchored? What is the deal for that?

yes.

[Iceman]

2 weigh boats will move through their designated areas.

Captains meeting at 6:45 before shotgun start at 7 for the bass division.

[tstephens3232]

The wife and I are both paid for the halibut division but not 100% in yet.

Thought I read somewhere that you don't need to be present for the raffle, is that correct? If make it we might have to get back home early.

[Iceman]

If you purchase tickets at the tourney you will need to be there when your number is called. We had requests to offer online sales for people unable to attend. These numbers are cataloged.

[Mr. NiceGuy]

If I can help as a volunteer on site in any capacity, please feel free to call upon me for any reason. I used to be a Boy Scout so I'm good at all kinds of event chores.

"Hey YOU!" is all it takes.

I'll be the moist guy wearing lipstick, probably relaxing with a fine, deliciously fragrant cigar after a thoroughly rewarding morning of kayak fishing.


PS - I love the thrill of buying raffle tickets to help support kindred spirits

[Mr. NiceGuy]

Name tags might be helpful so we can introduce ourselves in real life to friends we know here by their BWE posting names.
