KFACA Benefit Tourney June 27 - sign up now!

[warrior]

I've taken the easy way out to the water via Baby Beach in Dana and from what I read L J is a surf launch, so if you guys don't laugh too much as I flip going out of LJ; I'm in.

I might try a trip there before since this is new in my kayak evolution.

I know how hard it is to fight these guys because we do the same thing with our mountain bike club (warriors society) keeping the trials open to all users. My brother started our club many years ago and I can tell you, we are hated by the greenies.

Anyway, I guess it's OK to laugh, just don't let me drown

I'm off to register and clear my calender for the next meeting, thanks for all you do.

Can we use GULP!

I'll see if Sherm wants in on this too.

You guys do know that there is a Bloodydecks Yellowtail Tourney going on that same day...........may be a bit "crowded" out there.

Isnt that the site where they refer to kayaks as "speed bumps". Ill start a rumor the Coasties will have a breathelizer out there. Out of line... sorry. It is a several day event so it may not be too bad

Sorry I can't make it bro. I'm in the Bloodydecks tournament that day. I hope you get a good YT. Your chances of getting one are probably going to be much better since I won't be fsihng with you.

I just found out about this from Jason over at the Lj surf sessions shop. I am in for sure. I am normally a south ender as I launch from Law St.(my front yard). I'll be the guy with the ghetto rigged kayak.

Small world Mike. ha. How's the ribs doing from the baja incident?
If you need anything let me know. I got extra kayaks & gear. I got you covered...no worries.

This will be the first tournament I've entered, so could you please lay out exactly what MBF format rule mean. My understanding is that only artificials can be used, but Gulp, UniButter and the like are ok. I get to weigh in 1 bass (alive) and then release it. Is there anything else I need to know? I intend on fishing artificials only in the kelp, but it just doesn't seem right to launch a La Jolla without a sabiki. As long as I don't fish a mack for bass I'm ok right? If not please let me know.

You're good to go. Scents like Unibutter and stinky artificials such as Gulp are ok. And no one will hassle you for bringing a jig stick or sabiki just in case the YT go off.

Gonna make it for the launch and drop off some prizes but don't think I can make the tournament. My son has a waterpolo tournament in Capistrano and my daughter has one in San Clemente which means wifey and I have to split up to cover them. If I can get grandpa to cover one of them I will be there of the day.
Good luck everyone.

No worries!
We are going to have a couple folks on the beach helping people launch & get out safely through the surf.
If ANYONE is unsure about launching in the surf PLEASE let them know when you sign in so that we can assist and help you get launched safely. We are here to help!

Friends, we're just one week out from the big benefit to raise cash to keep La Jolla and our other precious kayak and spear fishing sites open.

It's not too late to join us! Please sign up now at http://www.diamond-safety.com/signup-form.htm. You can bring your $30 to sign-in at the OE Express dive shop on Avenida la Playa on June 27 - tourney day - any time between 4 am and 6:30.

Day-of walk-ins are welcome, but if possible please sign up so we can tell Chipotle Mexican Grill, our fabulous lunch sponsor, how many buritos we'll need.

Raffle donations are gratefully accepted. Please bring your new or gently used item to sign-in. Our current grand prize is a Pelican Strike Elite 130 fishing kayak complete with seat and rudder.

Look for new posts covering the prizes and important tournament operational details in the days to come. We've got some special treats in store, like Cash for Trash (well, more like a prize), Catch of the Day, a Big Bass Bonus, and other things I can't tell you about quite yet.

Remember, this is not only a day of fun. This is a way to help keep your fishing access.

Current sign-ups have us at 49 for Big Fish, 18 for Big Bass, and 5 for Spear Fish. We need at least 100 boats strong. Don't sit on the side-lines, come on out and fish!

Hundreds of Tourists and children launch and land there everyday.
-Just stow you gear before returning through the surf and it will be alright.

....but let us know when you are about to land, just incase you wipe out Big Time, so we can Video the whole event for posterity
Just kidding, you'll be alright.

[lamb]

Put the 2 Bosnians down on the list please Paul, big fish. I'll do my best to make it.

Never miss a chance to beat Josh. You get to rub it in for years to come.

I say we lock out access to BWE for 2 months for anyone that doesn't sign up. Stimulus package

Paul, thanks for everything you do!

A grand idea indeed...and if you compete on the WCW and don't sign up, minus half your points...
