2014 CALIFORNIA KAYAK FISHING SERIES

[MrPatrick]

My vote goes to tidelands park. Lots of parking, picnic tables, bathroom, fresh water rinse area, less crazy boat traffic than other parts of the bay and you can get to many areas in the time allotted.

[Baja_Traveler]

This sounds like alot of fun! I especially like the idea of shifting around to different areas each time - I'm all in for doing road trips. Maybe a halibut tourney out of the Old Mill in San Quintin later in the year?

C-C-C-Cold start to a beautiful morning rise over at Coronado Saturday. Launched and landed at Tidelands with the crew.
I would really like to thank everyone who came out & gave it their best.
We had a lot of fun & fished it hard right up till 2pm.
Close finish, but the biggest Spotty couldn't resist Z-Man's pearl PaddlerZ slathered with UniButter 56 degree, cloudy water & clear skies over San Diego.
Hope to see you all at the next event!
Over & Out.
Wade


Extra special thanks goes out to:
Bending Branches, Aqua-Bound, Z-Man & Chipotle Mexican Grill.

The tide was low in the morning & the bite was slow with overcast skies till Baja_Travelers amazing lunch break feast he graciously prepared for everyone. I almost cracked after thirty years of not eating meat the brine swine smelled so amazing.
After lunch & everyone fed, I really tightened the screws and went to town..Rippin' and a tearin' Spottys all over Coronado with a great bunch of guys and girls. Jarrods' Ma earned first fish & the biggest catch of the day. WTG Denise! Winds picked up after 1pm making for some minimal chop out on the bay. I landed a pile of Spottys for this prestigious event held specifically in their honor. Meeting Big Ben hands down was my greatest highlight of the day. He is only three, but describing this amazing gifted young man is beyond words.
(It was great meeting his Ben's Dad too, thanks for the spare loaner!)
A huge thanks goes out to Jarrod for helping to put the final pieces together. Big thanks to Paul Lebowitz for dropping off his latest & greatest 'Kayak Fish' magazine to hit our planet. Big Thanks to Z-Man for providing everyone with amazing tackle & the best swimbaits on the market. Thanks to Mike from TackleWebs out of Miami, & thanks again to everyone who came out to fish & enjoy a beautiful day!
