I have some exciting news about the 2006 NCKA tourney to announce. Ric Hawthorne, who some of you might remember from the Bendo at Mendo derby last year, has recently joined Okuma and has decided to sponsor our 2006 NCKA Pool. Okuma is providing reels for all 1st place species winners!!! Even if you can't compete for the overall title everyone has a chance to win a great Okuma reel for catching the biggest fish for any given species. Last year I think just about every species winner was bettered by someone NOT in the pool, don't let that happen to you!

Once I get a list of the models from Ric I will post them. Thanks again Ric!!

Thanks Ric its good to hear from you.
The reels are great but I hope you can bring yourself to a couple of events also.
Technical question: Is Cabalas the only place to get a Catalina with the line counter on it?
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

That is awesome for the sponsorship. I just happened to get my shipment of new reels today to replace my beat to hell abu garcia fleet. They were all okumas. Two convector CN20D line counter reels for trolling, one convector CN30CS, and one Coronado CD50 (spinning reel ). Not the high end models, but I am sure they are going to do great for me. I have been impressed with the new products by okuma.

Thanks for the sponsorship, Ric!

You sold me on a Marauder last year, perhaps an Okuma this year  :fish

Best of luck with your new job.

I too am stoked to have Ric back...and continuing to offer support.  Although his new job sounds just horrible  :smt002 hopefully he can endure.

Hey Mooch,

We know that Left hand retreive people exist.... we simply hope that if we ignore them that they will go away. ;-)

Glad to be back and be a part of things. I am looking forward to it. And no... I will not simply be sponsoring things. I hope to make another HMB tourney with Bill and the guys from HMB Kayak Co. and I WILL be at the 2nd annual Bendo In Mendo.

So many Bananas... so little time. Right Mooch? LOL

And once we get the list of reels out there, I'll make sure Left hand retreives are available to people that want them.

Ric

Sean,

The Job is HORRIBLE! They make me wear pants. LOL

Mickfish, Cabelas is the only place you can find a Catalina with a Line Counter.

Eric, Can't wait to fish with you again Bud.

Hope you win it Pat.

Ric
