: I launched at 5am. The sky was clear and a BIG bright moon lit the whole place up. The moon was so bright that I didn't even need to use my flashlight. The cove was flat and the surf was small and inviting. From the beach I could see the mother ship anchored at the buoy line.

: But the pleasant launch conditions were only a trap set by the ocean to lure kayak fisherman out into the open seas. Once I got out past the point a very heavy fog settled in and then a cold brisk wind began to blow. The fog (in one form or another) stayed all day. One kayaker I talked to said that he had become lost in the fog and that the experience had convinced him to stop and buy a compass on the way home. If the fog was good it was because it kept the PB's off the water and I only saw one party boat as well.

: Personally I only managed to catch one just barely legal Lean Cod. The people who did catch good-sized fish were the people who have been consistently catching fish all season, which is the way it should be.

: Back at the BB the many give a ways were raffled out in order of value with the best being given first. I think that I got just about the last one which was a drift shute and a T-shirt from Allen's'. For my $25. entree fee I got an all you could eat and drink BB, drift shute, package of Fish Traps, event T- shirt and an excuse to fish all morning. Not a bad deal, not bad at all.

: Mr. Jim Sammons was every where and every thing happened as if it had been planned to perfection.

: I'm not a tournament guy but I'm gland that I didn't miss this one.
: John

You walked away with a heck of a lot more stuff than $25 worth. The drift chute alone is at least that.

Is is more accurate to refer to it as the La Jolla Cove Tourney? I listed the photos under San Diego Tourney because that's how jceviche referred to it.

Good job on the Lingasaur. I don't read of many hooking up on those out of La Jolla. You must have a special technique. What plastic were you using?
