Battle of the Bays is coming.....

[Mahigeer]

Anglers must be using an approved Hawg Trough measuring device.

Can a Bass Pro Shops measuring device work?

[Saba Slayer]

Yes any of the manufactured troughs can be used..."approved" refers to a quick check in the morning of the tournaments to make sure it's not a home made device with their own "short" measurements.
Hopefully Andy at OEX and a few of the other kayak dealers and tackle stores will be stocking them soon. The Hawg Troughs can be found online easily.
We will also be giving out a velcro band "the morning of" that can be used to restrain the fish.

Come and fish the beautiful waters of Cedros Island for just the price of entry and participation in either CCA CAL kayak tournament. Your odds will be really good on this drawing...especially if you fish both tourneys...
For just $60 you will get a ticket on the morning of the tournaments that will put you in a drawing for a trip to Cedros Kayak Fishing with Jeff Marianni.
Airfare is included, as well as all ground transportation in Mexico, meals and drinks (excluding alcohol), guided kayak fishing, Hobie kayak, and accommodations. Jeff is very flexible on the dates you can book for this trip.
The winning ticket will be drawn at the King Harbor event and the winner will be notified.

Here is the view you will see as you approach the airstrip...



The Yellows can be really big at the Salt Factory...and all of Jeffs Outback Hobie kayaks are new and have all the gear on board...Lowrance finders, Hobie bait tanks, gaffs, fish clips, VHF radios...it's all there.



If the wind is up you can always trailer to the calm side of the island.



Where ever you fish on the island you'll probably find a bunch of these guys...
