KFACA / PSO Benefit tourney - $$$ for MLPA fight - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tylerdurden · 04-24-2009, 06:32 AM

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.

I'm in. Everyone is safe. All I do is

the fish, easier to release that way.

Would be a Great time just hanging out

and doing something for the battle.

No Money payback, use it for the battle, thats what this is about anyhow.

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.
