Good Morning Richard...
Kevin and Morgan at Hobie have gone over the CPR tourney with me a couple of times but I can always use another outlook.
Please email me @
jim@sabaslayer.com and we'll connect.
Good News....
The CCA CAL State Board met last Wednesday at AFTCO and approved the budget to fund the “Battle of the Bays” CCA CAL Kayak Fishing Tournament. I’ve promised them it will be a “break even” or a $fund raising event and I hope to keep that promise to the board with the support of all involved.
The dates for the TWO tournaments are:
May 6th in Mission Bay & June 10th in Santa Monica Bay
This will be a Catch-Photo-Release Tournament with an additional Side-Pot for Biggest Fish and a Grand Prize for the combination of the two....all entrants must be a current member of CCA CAL.
The rules are modeled after some “Hobie World” qualifying tourneys that Keven and Morgan at Hobie have worked on.
I’m looking for volunteers to help with all the various jobs up to and including the Tournament days. Please feel free to off to help…LOL…!
Charles "Tatuna" will be working on the t-shirt design and Yani "Fisherman's Belly has offered to prep and cook the food and Hobie will be the title sponsor along with Cedros Kayak Fishing.
Sign-in and Weigh-in, Food and Prep, Ticket Sales, Set-up and all the volunteer help will be handled by the local SD and LA CCA Chapters.
LASTLY…Many of us in the planning would like this event to be as “all inclusive” as possible; both an event for hardcore tournament fishermen, but also something appealing to the first time tournament kayaker and kids or families.
Please offer any suggestions that you may have to enhance this event to be totally inclusive and fun!
As we get closer and things develop I'll share any info...
I look forward to making this a great event that will grow in the future.
Please contact me if you would like more info...jim@sabaslayer.com
