Here are the results for Riptide Rendezvous 2023!
Photo by Kevin GreenSUMMARY OVERVIEW:
2023 marked a major departure from our previous events. In the interests of getting more participation, we used technology to expand the timeframe and geographical area of the contest.
"Anytime, anywhere from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border" was our mantra. This forced us to eliminate the "One Surf Fly" concept from prior years, but gave contestants more freedom to choose the best and/or most convenient times and places to fish.
It also made administration of the regular tackle side of things much easier, since we found in 2019 that the "One Surf Fly" style of lure exchange did not work well for regular tackle fishermen.
In the end, we attracted 29 participants, which is 3 more than in 2019. While we were hoping for a larger crowd this year, we're confident that 2024 will be an even larger event. The 3-year, pandemic-induced hiatus between 2019 and 2023 was a major disruption, and actually having two Riptide Rendezvous' in two consecutive years can only help!
From the fishing perspective, we could not have asked for anything more. Surf perch fishing was spectacular for contestants in the northern areas (Oxnard, Ventura, northern Los Angeles), but still decent for people all the way down to San Diego. In the end, 500 Surf Perch were logged, almost all Barred Surf Perch. Sizes ranged upward to 14" on fly, and 15" on regular tackle.
Some very nice fly-caught Corbina, Croaker and Halibut were also caught, and even 2 Striped Bass made it to the measuring tapes (see results table below).
