Cambria Slam Down II Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hunter (The 80's Man) · 09-23-2013, 07:33 PM

Thanks Steveooo! Great report! You really captured the feel of the tournament.. And thanks, also, for the help on the water. It was kind of a surreal experience to see that many kayaks on the beach at gray light anticipating the start. It was a blast hanging out with all the team Sewer guys! Camp life was great

Pretty much laughed the whole time.. And big thanks to Jorge for cheuffering a few of us around!

I am slaying the monsters with my great rod of thunder power!

Ka Boom!

Now we need a sage or a Wizard to get rid of these drunk girls!

Man, you can't make this stuff up!

It was one of those 'you had to be there' kind of trips.

Looks like a good time for everyone! Gotta love the 805, one of my favorites.

Deamon · 09-24-2013, 04:35 AM

Very, very cool report! Felt like I was there as I read your update. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us losers who couldn't make it. Jim

Your pictures are fantastic, it's such a great place.
This report makes me want to pack up the truck, right now.

Congrats on the great tournament finish.

Absolutely awesome report and pics. Makes me miss home, although haven't lived there for 18 years, could only imagine going back to Norcal and a fishery like that.

rogersmith · 09-25-2013, 01:55 PM

great write up and thanks for the pics. I visited that area for the first time this past christmas, loved it

wiredantz · 09-26-2013, 07:24 AM

Great Report! Grade A.

The report felt like i was there.

Awesome Trip

MrPukaShell · 09-26-2013, 03:58 PM

I too had a great time. Fishing was awesome and the pot luck at the end of the day was the best. Everything from Soup to tri-tip. The launch was easy if you paid attention. We pre-fished on Friday and when returning I never even looked over my shoulder. Sweet set up with the ramp going to the sand made for a short drag to the water. I was so stoked when I got home I was already planned my next get away. 3.5 hour drive from my house makes it feasible for a long day but would be worth it. Till next time.

tunaseeker · 09-28-2013, 12:48 PM

I was up in Morro Bay for work and ran into some yakers at the Morro Bay fish cleaning station. They had some lings and a fatty cab from the tournament. Very cool area my first time up there. We hit up the rock fish on a friends Davis boat and pulled out my personal best red! Next time gonna take they yak!
Great report! Stayed at the Quality Suites in SLO, free happy hour, all the DBA you could handle. I'm a hop head too!
Cheers!

Stevoo, Thanks for the great write up and thanks all the guys that made the long drive up the coast, hope everyone had a good time.

I honestly cant believe that this tournament grew so fast and has joined the top tournaments in the state to become one of the largest on the west coast.

Some true legends at this event. Even had Spike sign up for his first kayak tournament that he participated in.

Good beer selection man, next year hopefully we can get more socal guys up on the Central Coast for a good time.

Fisheye Channel Video should be coming very soon.
