6549, Semana Nautica Tournament Results
Posted by Leapin Bass, Mon Jun-24-02 05:08 AM
Twelve guys showed up to fish the tourney (8 kayaks & 4 tubers). Overall it was a relatively slow day but some nice fish were brought it. Jeff Schultz (kayak) took both 1st place and big fish with an 8 lb. 15 oz. ~29 inch halibut along with a couple bass. Wayne ESP (kayak) took 2nd with an 8 lb. 1 oz. halibut and some bass. Erik Nordholm (tube) took 3rd with a 24 inch halibut and a few bass.

My report:
First time float tubing Haskells. The swell was quite large. That combined with the dirty water prevented any shallow water (under 7 ft.) fishing (which is what I prefer) so I was forced out deeper. I concentrated on halibut and picked up one 20 incher and a 22.5 incher. Both of them were caught on a 4 inch Prizm Kei Lime Big Hammer with a 1/2 oz. head. I was fishing just to the West of the pier in about 15 feet of water. Because of the work involved in running the thing I didn't compete and only fished for a few hours.
