July 29th - Beyond the Breakers Kingfish Roundup


We are excited to bring to you the first event of its kind in Texas. Teams fishing from kayaks for kingfish in the Gulf of Mexico off the beach at Matagorda. This will be a fun event with prizes for largest king mackerel caught.

Rules and Regs:
Location
On the beach at Matagorda

Weigh-in Location
Will be at the base camp on the Beach at Matagorda. Exact location on the beach to be determined.

Entry fees
$30 per person. This is a team event, with at least two people per team Five dollars from each entry will be used for misc event cost. All the rest will be paid out to winners.

Captain’s Meeting
5:30 a.m. at base camp, everyone must sign a waiver before fishing.

Fishing Times
6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Everyone weighing in a fish must be in line by 3:00 pm
Each person fishing must stop by base camp and sign OUT before leaving the beach. This is to insure we keep a good head count.

Launch Areas
You can launch from the beach anywhere up to one mile in each direction from base camp. This is to help level the playing field and to keep people close together for safety reasons.

Format
This is a team event, with at least two people per team. No limit as to how many can be on a team -- the more the better. Payouts will be individual and up to the team to figure out how they will split the winnings. We encourage large groups of people fishing together. This is a big fish event, with heaviest king mackerel wins. King fish are the main target species, but in the event no kings are caught, then we will go to the largest fish caught of any species. Excluding sharks and bull reds. If we have a tie, the weight of each fish will be added to its total.length to determine a winner. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified and beat over the head with a stick. Number of participants may be limited. At any point in time the event may be cancelled and rescheduled. No person may start fishing without at least one teammate. All fishing must be done within sight of at least one of your teammates. Beach launching must be done in pairs or more.

All fishing must be done from any type of kayak. Any and all motors are prohibited.

All legal means of catching fish in the state of Texas can be used. This means live, cut bait, dead bait, or artificial. All state and federal laws must be obeyed at all times.

PFD’s must be worn at all times when in the kayak. This is a no tolerance rule, anyone found to be without a pfd on while in there kayak will be disqualified, and beat over the head with a stick.

This is important so we are going to do it again. PFDs must be worn at all times when on the water in the kayak.

At least one person per team must have a GPS and cell phone. Contact numbers will be given out at sign up and must be carried on the kayak at all times.

Each person must have some kayaking experience or fish with someone with kayak fishing experience.

To answer a few questions that have came up.

We will be taking mail in checks up until a week before the date.

You can pay at the beach the day of the event. But must pay cash and exact change.

If you do not have a partner, post up. Lot of people looking for fishing partners. No limit as to how many people can be on the same team.

I will make a post about rigging and tackle that works good for kings from a kayak very soon.

Sponsorship is available, if interested please email me at tjpilgrim@alltel.net
