HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB

A Great TKAA Charity Kayak Fishing Tournament!



Rose and I just returned home from the TKAA kayak fishing tournament in Virginia. We both had a great time, and a huge word of gratitude goes out to all the organizers at the Tidewater Kayak Anglers Association, Project Healing Waters, and Hero's on the Water. This was my daughter's first kayak fishing tournament, although she has grown up around kayaks and fishing. She is already talking about returning next year, and entering additional events. As soon as info and official results are released from the organization I will post it up. I don't want to put out any errors, and don't really trust my memory after a long day.

As for Rose, there were only four stripers caught by the 215 entrants, and she had one of them. Also, she landed five different species of fish, and was awarded a multi-species award. She caught numerous croakers, numerous sea bass, a black drum, a pigfish, and one striper. The croaker was a massive 16 inches!

Again, there were 215 competitors as of the captain's meeting Friday. The wind was howling all day Saturday, and the conditions were less than perfect, but there were a lot of people on the water supporting these great causes and promoting the growing sport of kayak fishing. Great job TKAA!!!
