Annual Elk Tournament a HUGE Success (and party)!!

We recently held Elk Rockfish Fiesta IV and it was fantastic. Great people, awesome food, incredible camaraderie, and solid fishing!

Long-time Nor Cal yak angler Ben (aka Guitarzan) won a brand new Trident 13 Angler courtesy of Tsunami Sales and Marketing and Ocean Kayak. Here is Ben with his FAT 17 pounder...















Even though Levi moved to San Diego he returns every year with his family and friends to compete. This year he took home 2nd place with this nice 14 pound ling...




















Alan and his buddies travel ALL the way from Utah every year. That in itself is amazing. The Utah crew took home 3rd place this year with Alan's 13 pound entry...



We would like to thank everyone that participated, the Greenwood Community Center, and our generous sponsors for making this event a success.

KFU Saltwater Kayak Fishing School

Despite a scary forecast for the week we were blessed with glassy conditions. We had to look
for surf at Caspar, but we found some little anklebiters that were perfect for a first experience...















We spent a few hours learning to launch, land, surf, bracing and controling your momentum
and direction enough to avoid unvoluntary surfing. The guys did a great job and we all had
fun in the small glassy waves...




After going for an open ocean cruise we all played in the surf until we were pooped. I couldn't resist having a little fun myself...
















We warmed up at the Mendocino Bakery with coffee, snacks, and a powerpoint on rockfishing
to prepare for Sunday. Sunday the ocean was a lake. The bite was a little slow, but it turned on
later in the morning. Arron caught an nice vermillionand retained a few gophers with fatal
barotrauma...
















We pot-holed the kelp and found a better grade of fish hiding in the bushes. Aaron lost a pig in the kelp. Later Chad was on...
















After a nice fight and a little kelp wrangling Chad was rewarded with a nice thick 31 inch ling...















By lunch time everyone had put together a great first stringer of saltwater fish!
















I had retained a fat verm and a few blues the day before for Sundays lunch. We had cerviche
tostadas and Coronas before heading home...


















Thanks for coming guys, we had a great time!
