Rebel King Tournament Off To a Screaming Start

Rebels On Deck 6am

Anchor lines were humming like birds-in-the-wind at the end of the pier Thursday. This was a tale-tale sign that our Rebel King Tournament would kick off screaming. And it did! 
Anxious rebels rolled into OCP parking lot with coffee, fish carts, and camaraderie in tow. Competitive spirits started after the ball draw. Fishing began around 9am. The best is yet to come.

Rumor has it when the lines sing loud enough the night before you know the Kings are on their way!
