Start at 4:00 a.m. for Mission Bay halibut

Classic kayak fishing tournament this Saturday

Santa Clara Point. 7:00 a.m. shotgun starts bass division.
Santa Clara Point. 7:00 a.m. shotgun starts bass division.

The first two tournaments I fished in were the first two organized kayak-fishing tournaments in San Diego; one off La Jolla and one in Mission Bay. Both are still going on, and though over time they morphed a bit, both draw over 100 entrants, each. Most kayak anglers just can’t keep it on the down-low. It’s as though you found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; we just can’t shut up about it.

This week’s Mission Bay Classic fishing tournament on Saturday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. will be hosted by Heroes on the Water. Heroes on the Water began in 2007 as a way to help veterans recover from the physical and mental injuries of warfare.
