Donation of Fish to HOW - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ful-rac · 11-04-2014, 03:09 PM

With all the yellowtail that has been caught this year, and all the reports of guys catching multiple yellowtail... on multiple trips...Im surprised HOW has only 7#s of fish.

Come'on guys...step up and donate some fish to a good cause. I promise you'll catch more.

AND if you can't CATCH MORE, well then I guess I will have to bring you some from BAJA.

I think lobster tacos would be a nice change next event

tacmik · 11-17-2014, 05:32 PM

Bring the bugs and I will cook them.

Folks I just updated the original post as I will no longer be able to receive the fish for HOW due to relocation away form San Diego next month. Thank you to those that did bring fish here to have donated- it was very appreciated.

For folks that do wan to donate please contact the HOW leadership team to coordinate with them.

Thanks!

Couple of questions.....

Where would I be able to donate if I am in the SFV area?

Next time I fish LJ, and catch more than I need, is it possible to drop it off (whole) with someone on the way back up to my area?

Kayak_Bernie · 07-20-2015, 12:04 PM

With all the yellowtail being caught and posted about please think of HOW if you have extras please let the HOW coordinators or me know ( I have a large chest freezer and I am currently storing fish for HOW events) We currently don't have enough in my freezer for the next event, we have about 1/2 of the amount needed for the next event in August. Nothing for the event in October. So please let SoCal HOW leadership know if you have some extras, and we can coordinate your donation.

Thanks,
Bernie

It's probably gonna be easier to set aside a day where all fish will be donated like the rockfish round up. Put something together Bernie!

Are you guys still accepting fish? My freezer is full of YT and since I'm fairly new to kayaking still I'd still like to keep the 25+ pounders for my kayaking diary! I fish 4-5 days a week so if I keep one to give away I'd chose not to fillet it. It would only be bled, gutted, and iced. Is that ok?

Hey there,

we currently aren't accepting donations that aren't filleted and vacuumed sealed. Because all of us are volunteers, we usually don't have time to filet and deal with breaking down a big fish. I really appreciate the offer and if you would like to donate sealed and filleted fish please dont hesitate to let me know. This is not meant to be a pain, but we want the freshest fish for our vets and we previously have had issues with improperly stored fish and non-fileted fish which make the event day very difficult.

Thanks for thinking of us, and we always love new volunteers to our events! Come see us this Saturday at Tidelands Park at 7 am

Cheers,

Bernie

Thanks for thinking of us, but no need to keep any of the bass species (Calico, spotted, sand) They are best left to be caught again. We get great donations of yellowtail, white seabass and halibut. Those species are typically big enough to have extras. So if you get extras of one of those please let us know if you would like to donate to HOW. We really appreciate the willingness of BWE members to supply our fish for the veterans and volunteers!
