TKAA Tournament

[CB kayak 02]

If I don't go down Thrusday night I would be interested in meeting at BPS. what time you thinking Jim?

[Rockchaser]

I was talking to Moc and we were thinking to leave BPS around 1:00 figure that give some time to run in and get that last minute "I can't fish without this thing"

That would put in Hampton before any rush hour traffic.

[moc]

I do plan on meeting Rockchaser at BPS. I may try to get there around 11am-ish. Maybe have lunch with Rockchaser and anyone else, then leave there at 1pm like Jim mentioned.

Is it possible to catch red fish at Kipo?

[moc]

I have never fished Kipo, but I know reds show up there. I do not know in what quantity....

[jffoley]

I'm in for an 11am meet up on Friday at BPS and convoy down.

I also want to fish the Kiptopeke/Cape Charles area. Been looking at the charts and on the east side there's a nice channel surrounded by shallow water between Skidmore and Smith Islands. That looks very interesting. The marsh areas could be productive for specs and reds.

Looks like there's a launch at the end of Ramp Rd. Possible other launch sites at the end of Dixon Dr and Bulls Dr. Anyone know these areas?

Memory Maker always mentions Latimer Shoal on the west side. What say you, Rick? Where should we fish?

Of course, where to fish will be dictated by the wind speed and direction!

[moc]

Great John.... I plan on fishing Kipo also. I have never fished that area before and was looking for something new. See you Friday.

[Pinch]

I've launched from the ramp there on ramp road.

[HokieDJ]

I believe the ramp is called Wise Point? It was mentioned in another thread. That marshland/shoals around the fisherman island should have everything for the tourny.

I'm game for that. Are you guys talking about the BPS in Richmond?

[moc]

Yes, BPS in Richmond. Just to break up the trip, and convoy down. Safety in numbers.

[jffoley]

Jack, Have you been down to the end of those other 2 roads?

[Pinch]

I havent been, i know that from the ramp at the end of ramp road if you go right to the oceanside they have been catching specks.

[Pinch]

got all my tackle ready, re spooled the reels and set them up.. First time taking more then 3 rods in a long time. 1 ul 3 baitcast/mh-h fast jigging rods and a 2 medium spinning rods setup to throw the mirro/xraps at them specks. stocked up on jigs from 1/8-4oz

[toadfinger]

Sorry to have to miss this one. Hope you guys do well & some MKF'ers come up winners.

BTW, the BPS in Hampton also carries a great selection of saltwater tackle. Oceans East has a good array of Mirrolures.

Suspending peelers or fresh mullet under a float can up your odds while you cast artificials.

good luck,

Steve, Greenbelt

[Rockchaser]

I know of one red caught at kipto last year.
