Thank you to everyone who has signed up. Rossman, you rock!
Prize update: We have Big Bass and Big Fish trophy medallions from Ten Crows Forge, and yesterday friends at Okuma and Hobie Fishing said they are in. More info as we get it. Whatever the prizes, however big or small, all of these generous donations are much appreciated. The area: Dana Pt is unique on our coast, with protected launches, a bait barge near the harbor mouth, and solid Big Fish and Bass options. I'm not going to give away too many secrets. There's still plenty of time for scouting trips. Big Fish: Halibut historically targetable along Doheny Beach, inside a no motor zone. Watch out for the surf! White seabass and maybe a yellowtail at the kelp zones off the point and north towards Salt Creek. Bass: Too many options. In shallow among the rocks of Capo Reef, out at the kelp, along the breakwall, etc. Please beware of surf in tight. Launches: Event HQ at Baby Beach a mile deep inside the harbor. If you've pre-registered (you should!), launch anywhere on this picture. Options are the boat launch (bring a $10 bill for the automated gate), Doheny State Beach ($$$) and launch along the eastern breakwall, and Baby Beach. Just be sure you're back at Baby Beach by 1 pm if you want to score a fish. ![]() |

Anyone here remember Baytubers? For that group it was as much about the potluck grub as it was about the fishing, and they were damn good anglers. Please consider bringing a dish to share. Let's make this more than a fishing tourney. It's a celebration of our good friend Steve.
Nov 21 Update: Yanni of Fisherman's Belly, an epic cook as we've all seen in his videos, has offered to cook up a fish main course for everyone. It means a lot to him to support Steve. He asked to take over for the South Coast Chapter of Heroes on the Water cooking team, which graciously agreed. Thank you HOW for your willingness to help our, the work you do, and your generous spirits. Last edited by PAL; 11-21-2015 at 10:22 PM. |

In the spirit of the day and taking Rossman's lead, my Dad would like to sponsor up to 4 veterans for this event. If you are interested please pm me your full name and the branch you served with and my Dad will pay your fee.

Very exciting! Charles Belñavis, tattooist and epic fishing artist, is donating an original illustration for auction - something like this. We'll also have a print or two on offer at the event. Much love Charles, thank you!

I'm signed up. My father-in-law beat esophageal cancer about 20 years ago and I'm honored in joining everyone in helping our good friend Steve win the same fight!

I haven't received any interest from veterans, so if you are a vet or are active duty send me a pm. We have 4 spots available for sponsorship from my dad.

See this map of Marine Protected Areas down around Dana Pt? The blue is cool - fish it up! The city of Dana Pt sided with us as we fought to keep the area open during the MLPA process. If you've been wondering if MPAs will get in the way (of this event - the kayak fishing and free diving community staunchly opposed this politically derived and not scientifically supported closure), now you know they won't. Sign up and support our friend Steve.

66 paid entries and counting, a lot of guys paying knowing they can not attend and a couple of these paid multiple times for $100 donations. I anticipate 35-40 people fishing right now.........maybe more. $1320 raised to help out Steve with these entries and more the day of with some cool donated prizes!

Tony, I had the same idea, but my firepit is on it's last leg. Not sure if it's allowed either. Seems to me if it's contained, it should be ok. I have plenty of wood should you choose to bring the pit.

The Shootout for Steven Green Kayak Fishing Friendly tournament starts in less than 24 hours! Here's the latest - read it for important information:
*IMPORTANT: The Dana Pt area is fairly sheltered, but we have a south-southwest swell rolling in. Surfline is predicting 3-5 foot surf at Doheny Beach. That's big for the area. It will likely blow out the Doheny Beach halibut zone and the Capo Reef bass area. If this was your gameplan, better have a Plan B ready. Please exercise extreme caution if fishing in tight. The area is dotted with reefs that could produce sneaker sets. The harbor mouth and deeper waters should be unaffected. Both the launch ramp and Baby Beach are protected launches. *Remember, if you're pre-registered you can launch 1 minute after midnight tonight, anywhere on the aerial photo on the event post. The weigh-in, lunch and awards ceremony are at Baby Beach. The paddle to the harbor mouth is much shorter from the launch ramp. If you use it, bring two $5 bills or one $10 bill for the parking gate. We will be taking walk-up sign-ups at Baby Beach only, beginning at 0500 and ending between 0700 and 0800. *The bait barge located just inside the harbor mouth offers kayak scoops. Pretty sure the price is $10. *Bring extra scratch for the raffle and / or auction - we have a number of choice prizes, including a sweet Dragonfly sonar arranged by our good friends at The Kayak Fishing Show with Jim Sammons. Other highlights include an original Charles Belñavis artwork, a Hobie Livewell, Water Wolf underwater camera, and a Okuma Komodo baitcaster. THANK YOU for the donations. *The trophies donated by Ten Crows Forge are unbelievably cool. You want one. Fish hard. We are awarding for heaviest gamefish (no sharks, skates, rays or dead bass) and longest Catch, Photo, Release bass. We are also paying out $5 from each entry, split 50/50 between Big Fish and Bass. *Yanni is cooking up fish tacos. We'll have water, soda and some Gatorade too. Want something else? Bring it! And a chair too, if you want a place to sit. See you tomorrow. Let's make this a party for our good friend Steve Green, and help him with his cancer battle. ![]() |

Not sure if I can make it but just paid up more as a donation. Just moved out here, just getting into the scene (fished my whole life just not in a kayak). Read too many post on Steve's contributions not to help out. Wish I could do more.
