CSBA Tournament at Mendo!

Man, great laughs, talk, and food. Sean and Leah, thanks for the invite and hospitality.
The tourney was fantastic because the yaks ruled!
At the other end of the spectrum is the thefts. I'm not going to be comfortable there for a while. That is a disappointment and I hope karma does it's thing. 
I am now sooooo tempted to make it to every single event and bring newbies with me as well.
Fish on brothers!

WTG, Yak-community!  Sounds like an awesome event.   

Awesome represent NCKA.. Outstanding...Jelly, I'm pulling for you( AOTY)!!!

  Wish I could have been there, The White Host sounds like a life saver and quite a treat...

  About the scumbags, The universe repays in Spades ............Danglin

Congratulations all, glad you all had a good time fishing and it sounds like the shin-dig at Sean's was a total success.

Way to represent!

Ill post more later. Allen - cant thank you enough for giving me a high-end replacement paddle after the crooks walked off with mine, that was too cool dude!

Another awesome weekend with the NCKA Crew Had fun talking story with da bozzz by the campfire. Ben, thanks for the smirnoff ice  Had fun playing some old school volleyball with Terry / h2o spider and  .

The Tournament went well and I was glad to see more NCKA'ers participate this year. CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN / MAKO    for the second place finish    I felt good knowing that the money would support the striper fishery in Lake Mendo - I must say that I have spent many fun weekends at this particular lake - not just because of the awsome fishing but also because of the cool cats that I get to fish (and camp) with. Thanks to Sean for keeping NCKA on the loop 

The after Party was "supreme". Lot's of variety on the dinner table and the company was even better! Many thanks to the White family for their hospitality 

Woke up Sunday marning only to find out that Nate / Bungle and his buddy Dave had their rods stolen from their yaks  (parked at the shoreline). Ben's paddle (the one he won at the Elk raffle) and a net (a gift from Anita) was also stolen  The crime was reported to the Park Ranger.

....regarding  .......I was bummed to find out that she's married....yeah, like I had a chance  but I must salut     the man she married, he is one lucky guy....he must be jealous to have to share her beauty with the rest of the world. I must say this, her smile CAN launch a thousand kayaks

ps: I need a drink 

Don't do it Mooch.  After seeing you binge on 4 drinks this weekend, I'm starting to worry about you.  See, it's just a little after 9 and you're already thinking about drinking.  Women will do that to you.

Fight the urge Mooch.  FIGHT IT.

...it's too late...I'm sipping a smirnoff ice as I type this....

Mooch, slowly step away from the bottle. 

I'm gonna have to take you out and introduce you to some of the ladies.

women!....don't belive the hype Mooch, it's over-rated.......and we'll never get to see/fish with you again!

I got a few pics to post............

...it's too late...I'm sipping a smirnoff ice as I type this....

Phew......you had me worried, for a moment I thought you were drinking a real alcoholic beverage 

I won't believe the Mooch report with out photographic evidence. 

Great job on the catching! I bet fishing only gets better as the water gets lower.

Well done fellas.. NCKA represent!! Congrats to all those who won and major bummed I missed out on the afterparty @ SCWA's house..  I have to make it back down there for some more tourneys but BAM is gone and ELK is full..  But I will be back!!

BTW.. nice work Mooch! And don't give up. Chicks are like fishing at Mendo, you have to fish there many times and get skunked before you get a nice one. Persistence!
