KAYAK FISHING EVENT Oct 8th Station Camp Creek Old Hickory
 
Alright last Tuesday was supposed to be the last one, but I've having so much fun.
On Tuesday October 8th we will be having our next event. We are going as far north as I feel comfortable to see how participation is up there and bring the tournament to guys who won’t or can’t travel as far south to show them what they are missing. We will be at 130 Douglas Bend Road Gallatin, TN 37066 36.34809, -86.514432, this is Station Camp Creek off Old Hickory Lake. We will keep the same format.

Register at 1700 or just before, brief Captain’s meeting during registration. Launch at 1715, be back at Station Camp Creek Ramp by 2000 to turn in your photos. Please bring a white light that is visible from 360 deg as it will be dark the majority of the time we will be fishing.


We will do a two black bass limit. As long as the fish is 8” or greater take a photo with your camera or phone and have your identifier in the photo. The fish must be facing left, dorsal fin upward, mouth closed, and tail in the natural lay position. The bottom lip must be touching the zeroed mark. Lengths will be measured to the nearest 1/4” and must break the mark. This is a paddle craft event only, no electric, or gas propelled watercraft, kayaks are preferred.


The first place purses are getting larger with each event and they were as follows with the very first event, to the event last Tuesday $65, $78, $90. This is more than enough to pay for your Honey Buns, and Community Coffee to power your watercraft for the evening. The more participants the more places are paid out, the last event we paid out 3 places.

Entry $10, $5 optional big fish, basic Hawg Trough $15, (customized floating, reinforced, lines defined Hawg Trough $20)
(PLEASE BRING EXACT CASH)


There will be a separate bounty on the Hawg Trough called the HOOK1 Hawg Trough Challenge. All sales from the Hawg Troughs will go toward this. In any of these events if you catch a 20” or greater in length black bass, and the fish is on the Hawg Trough you win the pot. The fish must be facing left, mouth closed, tail unpinched and in the natural lay position and break the 20” mark clearly. You must have your identifier for the event in the photo.

I appreciate you putting together another tournament. My son's fall baseball season ends next Tuesday so I can finally participate.

Count me in!

This isn't just another tournament. It's a way for anglers to get together and meet one another. It's a way we can make more fishing buddies, and learn from one another. These events will be THE events that everyone is looking forwad to each month or every two to three weeks to kick back hang out and relax with some friendly competition that is not costing hundreds of dollars. Hopefully soon we'll narrow down a schedule, but we're still experimenting with locations and format at the moment. So far it's growing steadily and getting a lot of good feedback.

If last place pays I want to enter. That is better than the lottery.

How about for the brightest green kayak?

This will be my first opportunity to attend an event. It was mentioned we will have to have an identifier in the photo. Can anyone tell me what needs to be on the identifier?

It's just a small card that they will provide. Lay it on the Hawg Trough next to the bass and get it in the pic.

Lights
 
I have yet to get a good 360 degree light for my boat, so tonight i will be using a headlamp and a couple bicycle lights. i am hoping that will keep me visible enough.

Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive pole light that mounts in a scotty mount?

Reel Tune 10-08-2013 08:05 AM

Blink, I've got one you can use that I made if you would like. Yak Attack makes a light that will fit on a Scotty base, but I'll let you check mine out and maybe you can get an idea for your own.

I'm bringing 4 lights, so if anyone feels inadequate then I can hook them up.

The identifiers will be handed out upon registration.
