Best "Other" Tourney for 2007 
Modified By vakayakangler  on 2/16/2007 8:23:13 PM)

After the input, see the change in question farther down!!! 

 

I have been following the KFS thread on the Jamaica Bay tourney the first weekend in May on the forums and it looks like it might be fun. In fact, the picture of the guy who won first place in a previous tourney looks REALLY familiar to me.  I was wondering if you guys can offer any insight into the tourney... tips, advice, travel info, things to take, anyone who might want to get together and travel up and camp as a group and save duplication.... all input is appreciated.  What little info is available so far looks like they plan to make this year bigger than ever. Anyone else thinking of going?

Re: Kayak Fishing Stuff Jamaica Bay 2007 

Last year they had camping available - which means that you can pitch a tent on a old runway near the launch site.  No running water, 1 bathroom. 

other than the accomidations, very fun event.  lots of big fish, but if you want to have a shot at winning, drag a red piece of surgical tubing tipped with a bloodworm along the bottom of the channels. I did have a really good time at the event and may do it again some other year.

Other FYI you will pay more in tolls for bridges and turpikes that you will for gas gettingt here and back.

if you need any other specifics, let me know.


Will Yak for food.

hmm.

one crapper for 50 guys,

current and wind against you both ways,

prizes were leftovers,

no food,

no beer,

drove back the same day.

but besides that, it was great!

Other trips are starting to sound better after all, many different things to consider.  We plan on fishing the TKAA this year, but  if we were to choose ONE other tourney outside of VA within a reasonable driving distance, which one would you guys recommend, and why?  I could probably get five days off, but NOT over a holiday, our busiest times at DGIF are over the holiday weekends.

Re: Kayak Fishing Stuff Jamaica Bay 2007 

well both jamaica bay and jax doesnt have reasonable driving distance.... one is just better than the other..... jax cant be any worse than jamaica bay..... and besides jax is in florida! so why not make it a warm weather road trip!?!

JAX! all the way, very well run, and they are giving away 14 kayaks, and thousands of dollars in raffle prizes. We already have a truck load going and some indiviuals looking for rides.
