2/16 Cabrillo tourney - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am always stoked when my schedule allows me to fish the Baytubers monthly tournaments. This month Cabrillo was the venue and Kiyo threw out a last minute surprize and said we could launch on either side. The pennisula and break wall provide a sheltered harbor launch on one side and a open ocean beach launch on the other.

Recent reports had seemed to be slow for the harbor and rumors of WSB off the point made up my mind for me. Surf was a little bigger than I had expected, but long intervals and nice lulls made for easy ins and outs.

Fishing was very slow. I only managed a few sandbass. The five of us that beach launched Rhino, Jas, PAL, Pierpont and I, caught nothing besides bass, mostly sandies, with Mark catching the big fish in our lil group, a 4+ calico.

Snags on the bottom provide the only big bendos

Jeff pulled up a lobster trap, minus a buoy. Back at the parking lot we saw a lot of legal halibut. Kiyo's 9 pounder won the big fish pot and Grego had 3 legals totaling 20+ pounds, so he won the tourney pot of $500+ Some of the proceeds went to KFACA as well, along with generous donations by Kiyo and Grego, helping protect our rights to fish.

The usual potluck was good as ever with plenty of good stuff to eat. I had to leave prior to the raffle, where usually everyone wins something. Thanks Kiyo and www.baytubers.com for another great day. Since Grego won he not only gets to provide next months main dish for the potluck, but also decides where the tourney will be.......I am betting it will be Redondo
