Impact would be about the same if not heavier than when everyone found out about the esqueeeed spawn...esp if the YT go off in LJ at that time frame, maybe one of the reasons they picked that weekend...yikes.

I fished the BD shootout last year. Not too many boats in LJ. How it is this year will likely depend on the bite. Still, not the best day to do it. I think an earlier date would be better. The sooner the better before everyone loses interest. Sometime in May?
Simple potluck or hot dogs gets my vote too. We are fisherman, we don't need a catered pampered meal after fishing all day.

May 9th and 23rd not good for me, although if scheduled on those days, I am donating an entry fee anyway. Spare all you guys my victorious win!!! j/k
chris PS: I hope not to start reply's of which dates people can't attend, because that will cause a scheduling nightmare for the organizers. I was just invested in this thread, so I don't want to seem like a dead beat if it is on those days I don't show up! Paul, please schedule any date that works good for you! |

I was thinking that at some point we should get all the kayaks together on the water as a group, everyone holding up signs, Save LJ, etc., get some photos to show at the MLPA meetings.

How about June 13? I also looked at June 6 and May 30, but the tides are pretty flat those days.

Any day that doesn't conflict with another major fishing event is good. I think that is more important than good fishing tides. Make it less a fishing tournament and more a publicity stunt/fundraiser. The competitive part should not be the main component. This is about raising money and getting good press.
My biggest worry is turn out. Fisherman have shown to be bad in turning out for this kind of thing. The public thinks of us as an amusing, harmless, intriguing, oddity among fisherman. Never once have a gotten a PETA comment on the beach after kayak fishing. I think awareness would get us some good will and couldn't hurt. Just my thoughts.

Tourney/Tides
I'm no expert, so I may be wrong. But do tides make much of a difference in the big pond? I understand the importance in the bays, but I was under the impression that tidal movement in the ocean is less important than current movement. This may be a learning moment for me. One reason that the tides may be important has to do with room on the beach. An extremely high tide could leave a large group of kayak launchers crowded into a pretty small area.

I have A,
West Marine Pacific rod medium light action 12-30 lb. with Penn 500 reel that I won at day at the docks that I can donate for a raffle prize. Also have a used short Calcutta gaff to throw in I think with the tough economy that any tourney should open to anyone, the entry fee being strictly a what ever you can afford donation. No prizes, just bragging rights with a bragging thread for top anglers. raffle tickets should be $1.00 each, used items by silent auction on the day of the event or on a for sale thread to raising funds for the cause. In N Out has a trailer that they send out for fundraisers that may make the food easier if enough interest and could help raise money as well. Is there a location to drop off donation for raffle and auction items yet.

Thanks for bearing with me. I hope to have most of the details settled by next week. Preparing for the just concluded 3-day MLPA meeting session, the most difficult yet, has drained most of my time.

FYI, Islander 2.5 day trip.

Paul, make the tourney the best date that works for you. I will still donate an entry fee, if the date conflicts with my schedule in any way. BUT, whomever wins will have an asterisk * next to their win, because I wasn't in attendance! FWIW, I don't think LJ was any more crowded during the BD Shootout last year, I know Offshore wasn't anymore crowded. chris |

All right, original date folks, June 27, just a lot of people out enjoying LJ.
Here's the concept. $5 jackpot, $25 donation, weigh-in on the water so no need to rush about on land. Big fish, C&R bass (possibly in conjunction with a PN MBF), spearo, all with separate jackpots. Possibly a single prize for the best angling feat, determined subjectively and requiring crowd approval. I will provide basic drinks and dogs at our post-fishing venue, location TBD but likely in the Mission Bay area. Potluck contributions a la Baytubers encouraged. Benefit raffle / silent auction (donations gratefully accepted). I will start a new thread in the next day or so, hopefully with even more info. Please sign up, but no pre-registration necessary. Remember, this is about three things. Celebrating La Jolla, raising cash so we can keep it open, and getting MLPA info out there. I hope you will join us, go fishing, come to the party afterwards, either or both, whatever you like. |
