I will try to post the details here later today.

Ok here are some details for Saltwater Poker everyone

Details:
Date and Location to be set: Bets will be one unopened pack of fishing lures ($5 value and up) You can also drop in $5 if you don't want to do the lures. Once your bet is placed you are cleared to fish in the harbor and will need to be back to show your hand by Noon. If you are late you will not be allowed to show your poker hand. Please bring a digital camera or fish with someone who has one to show proof of your catch.

Best poker hand gets 50% of the pot from the morning's bet, 2nd place gets 30% of the remaining pot and 3rd place will get what is left.

This is played just like a game of poker (5 card draw), here is your deck of cards.

Mud Marlin – Ace
Halibut – King
Crocker - ​Queen
Calico - ​​Jack
Sand Bass - ​​10
Spotted - ​​9
Mackerel -​8
Lizard fish - ​​7
Perch - ​6


Royal Flush -​Mud Marlin, Halibut, Crocker, Calico, Sand Bass
Flush -​Any 5 species in consecutive order
Full House - ​3 of one species and 2 of another
4 of a kind - ​Any 4 of one species
3 of a kind - ​Any 3 of one species
2 of a kind - ​Any 2 of one species


In the event of a tie it will go to the high card in their hand, example: if you have a royal flush and caught a Perch as well, but someone else has a royal flush but has caught an extra halibut they hold the high card and will win.

Let me know what you think everyone the hope is to get this rolling by mid February if we need to run it a little later we will.

This sounds so fun. Add plus one for me. Daeley saw this and is all over it . February is perfect except for the the 20th. Any other weekend , we’re in.

OK we will not do it on the 20th for sure we will plan around that.

I think once we have about 10 interested we will move hard on this one.

These are the people that are interested and it looks like we will try to do this the end of February.

OK I really want to get this off the ground guys so here is what I am thinking. We set it for February 26th in Huntington Harbor. Launch at 6:30am and back by noon to share your hand. Saltwater Poker lets make it happen.

We’re in. That day works perfectly.

Seabridge Park? Pretty big out going tide that day. 5:16am high at 5.6ft to a -1.0ft low at 12:52. So it’s gonna rip.

Oh boy that will make it interesting to say the least LOL.

Yeah it will take you out to the flats pretty quick but getting back will be a challenge.

Might be worth a kick around the island at Castle beach and they take the out going tide back to the launch site. But the flats sound good to me.

Don’t want to skirt any rules if there are any but could we sign in at Seabridge the go launch at Humbolt park and take the outgoing tide through the main channel and check in at noon at Seabridge? I do like the flats too. We’ll see when it gets closer and what the weather is up to.

By all means that is totally fine. Once you have dropped off your bet you are free.

Ok guys let's make this happen everyone. Join us at Huntington Harbor for Saltwater Poker. February 26th. 6:30 launch and back in a Noon to show your cards.
Bet is a $5 pack of lures from everyone winner takes 50% of the pot 2nd place 30% and 3rd is 20%.

Is a mobile phone with a time stamp sufficient or do I need to charge up my old digital camera. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

That will be fine but we will also have a code for the event you will get it the morning of the event.

Ok perfect

Ok here is who we have signed up so far I really hope to get at least another 5 to join up that would be great. I will be adding to the pot the day of a few extra items to make it worth our while. Please add your name to the list and share this event with others we want to start this year off right.
