US Kickboat Open 5.20.06
Last weekend we had the annual US Kickboat open held at Clear Lake. We had 56 kickboaters and float tubers partcipating in what turned out to be a wet weekend. We had great weather(80s and sunny) for the last 3 1/2 weeks and wouldnt ya know it now... RAIN! I got there on friday (this was a 2 day event) and did a little prefish wth my buddy and it rained on us for 7 straight hrs. I got back to camp and everything was wet! Sleeping bag, tent, wood for fire. So it wasnt the best way to start out what normally is a great weekend. However i wasnt at work and I was with 55 of the best kickboaters/bass fisherman in california(excpt bassguy04 wasnt there...missed ya Jerry!) Anyways...We divided the amount of people in 2 and had 2 launch areas/weigh ins. First day i fished in a area called the Keys. I found a small limit for like 9.7. I couldnt get any fish that would help me cull. So day 1 9.7lbs not bad considering the condtions we were now facing. Biggest weight was by the guy who is pictured he also shared a camp sight with me(Matt C). He had 5 fish for 16.9lbs. Small limits brought in by most everyone. BTW I caught Bluegills/Red ear that weighed close to 1lbs(caught like 4 of them on a 5inch senko LOL) Was tough.....Day 2 was worse! Was cold windy I threw everything I had and did everything I could think and NADA ZIP ZILCH!!! I blanked but so did ALOT of people. Over all winning weight for the 2 days was something like 31lbs. Really low weights for this year considering it is Clear Lake during the spwan but O'well.....Still had a great time despite the rain and cold.
Have you ever tried to BBQ tri-tip in the rain it sure aint easy........ |
