Ok guys and gals this one’s gonna be short and sweet. Look for a full newsletter next month. The Fred Hall Show went well for us and now we’re paying for it! Once we get caught up on the installs we’ll have some time to get a proper newsletter out. For now stop by the shop, give us a call or check Big Water's Edge if you’re looking for a fish report.

FISH REPORT
 

There have been some white seabass caught late last month and early this month, but not a lot of consistency. For a few days it was the daily seabass lotto, seemed like one person on the water would hit it big while everybody else struck out. 50lbs was average size for those fish. Look for that bite to improve as the warmer water starts moving in, and as always time on the water will maximize your chances.


PRESENTING OEX SUNSET BEACH

Biggest news this month is our new location in Sunset Beach!

We will be taking over the Malibu Kayaks factory store at 16910 Pacific Coast Hwy, Sunset Beach, CA 90742 as of the 15th. It’ll take some work but our goal is to model the Point Loma store, so if you’re in the area stop by the new location and watch it grow! You might even be lucky enough to score an autograph from the one and only Andy “Iceman” Allen!

Our website for the new store will be launching in the near future. In the meantime, here's some information about the town that will be our new home so that you can start planning your weekend getaways!

Josh made a mad dash to the Point Loma store just before closing on March 31st to weigh in this 52.8 lb WSB. The quick drive earned him a Stansport 75 liter Internal Frame Pack.

In the lead so far this month is Todd Bethe who brought in a 48.3 lb WSB on April 3rd. A Scotty Triple Rod Holder will be his unless someone out there can top that before the end of the month.
