KFACA / PSO Benefit tourney - $$$ for MLPA fight - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 04-16-2009, 03:14 PM

Let's have some fun at La Jolla while pumping up our war chest for the MLPA fight.

This is a planning discussion, so please jump in with ideas.

Two deals - biggest single fish for the trophy team, and heaviest 3 calicos for the bass crew. Fish to be weighed on the water on the support / photo boat. Beer, sodas, maybe a bbq. How about we invite the spearos too?

June 27 has a nice rising tide and no tournament conflicts as far as I can see. Did I miss something?

Competition and prizes are nice, but the point here is to raise dough to protect La Jolla and our other fisheries. I'm thinking $50 entry, with merchandise prizes for the winners or a modest cash payback. The money will go straight into the MLPA lobbying effort via the KFACA's allies at the Partnership for Sustainable Oceans. If you've been encouraged by recent positive headlines, this is how they happen.

Sound off if you're game. Don't make me post the closure maps to you remind you what's at stake.

And while we're at it, is there any interest in an informal MLPA informational workshop? Brent has offered to host at one of the OEX shops in the past.

Come on with the feedback! Every part of this idea is up for discussion.
