Louisiana Kayak Tournament!

[Southshore Marine Service]

When:
Saturday March 15th

Where:
Boudreaux's Motel
Leeville, LA

The date has been set, PaddlePalooza V is on its way!! It is going to be a little different from last years tournament.

First there will be no team competition. One of the reason this was taken out is because we are now allowing all hook and line catches, this includes using live, dead, and artificial baits, (fall'n tide will be this year's arit only tournament) so we expect there to be more fish caught and more slams put together.

Also there is now a two species minimum to enter the Cajun Slam and Trash Slam categories. Since I decided to add this rule I have also added a "heavy red" category, only slot reds qualify for this division no fish equal to or greater than 27" will be allowed.

The trash slam category will be made up of Black Drum, Sheepshead, and White trout.

There are now minimum lengths required for all fish entered. Flounder and sheepshead must be 10" and the white trout must be 12". It makes me sad to see when "sportsman" kill game that can't be eaten. Thus the reason for the size requirements, anything smaller would be a waste of time to put on ice. Of course the legal Louisiana size limits will apply as well.

Hey Barret

What Kayak have you found to be one of the better fishing kayaks.

I use a Malibu X Factor as it is wide enough I can stand and site cast reds with or get offshore. It is almost 15' long and about 36" wide I think. Works real good for me. I have a retractable foot controled rudder that works great for wind and tracking, led nav lights and even a Garmin 545s on it. I fish more out of that thing then a regular boat!
