Fifth Annual Steve Moyer Memorial 2007 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kevin · 07-13-2007, 10:46 AM

I only fished this once, and I believe it was the first year Jim had the weigh in and BBQ somewhere else. I don't remember the drive being a big deal at all. And yes, I did weigh in a fish.

Overall I thought it was a very well run event. Great food, killer raffle...

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it back. Each year there has been something else going on the same weekend and this year is no different. Good luck to all who enter. even if you think you have no chance the food, raffle and chance to hang with everyone is well worth the price of admission.

I vote for a scale on the beach but the bbq where it has been at Kate Sessions for all the reasons stated above. I know it isn't my choice to make, but it would be easier on most.

No matter the decision I will be fishing the tourny and having fun. The scale on the beach would just eliminate the need to be driving and rushing to the scale instead of paddling to the beach. Anyone remember Adi's beach entrance for the BWE tourny? I wouldn't have wanted anyone trying to rush like that in their car to get to the scales.

I will be there regardless of the scale location if not for a big fish, then for support and fun. However, I tend to agree that loading everything up just to make the mad dash to Kate Sessions in the middle of the day at the shores is asking for trouble.

The only other way I could see it being done would be to have a "lines out" time with the requirement that all fish must be radio'd in before that time, then a more relaxed time frame for the actual weigh in.

Seems like a good idea to me.

But I will be there regardless of scale location... actually I hope the scale(s) will be on the fish in my yak!

The scale / weigh in at Kate Sessions park is fine...why fix it if it aint broke? The Sammons & Moyers are gonna busy enough already.
If you don't make the weigh in by the cut off time - It's simple, yer out.

Any predictions on the big fish winner?
