Wow was that the most fun I've had while getting skunked?  :smt005 Got there late around 830AM, launched and saw the water temp was 70-72 degrees and knew the dam was the best shot at catching something, but decided to stay south of the narrows and spend my time chillin and getting skunked. Really fun catching up with old friends. Hope the water temp drops before 10/8 or the HOW could be really tough fishing. Joel and Adam are looking good.

The Adam/Dan hug was yet another Great Moment in NCKA History.

I trolled all over that lake, tried everything I brought, and no fish...  but paddling back to camp from near the dam by noonlight with not a soul in sight was sooo soothing.

What an awesome time I had at Lake Del Valle. Thanks a bunch Mooch for setting
all this up for all of us to enjoy. I got to the lake really late as I had to finish some
jobs at work. The traffic at Pleasanton didn't help one bit to get there early enough to have somewhat of a day light left. Good thing I had goggled the campsite before heading over. That was my first time pedaling in the dark. A little
scary for I did not want to turn my light on knowing I had no busyness of being in the lake that late. Well, I had no choice being that I had a tray of pansit that
needs to be eaten up. When I finally made it to the site, everyone was already
having dinner around the grill and good thing I made it just in time. There was lots
of food that everybody brought to share.

The next day we were able to fish. Unfortunately, the bite was off being that water was warm. I only managed to catch a couple of bluegills on the yak and a
catfish that I caught on shore at night while enjoying the fire by the lake. Thanks
Sara for setting the hook for me.

What a GREAT weekend!! Not a lot of fish, but a lot of good times.  I got on a couple of 5 pound cats saturday night after dark which was nice, but being out there while the sun goes down, flat water, not a sound but nature, that was  priceless.   Got to see some bobcats drinking water in midday, a bunch of deer, the warm, sweet embrace of two eagles making love mid air!! What more could anyone ask for?  :smt003 Oh and heres the pic that MOOCH refuses to see, the catfish that was bigger than his!! You cant run and hide now MOOCH!! Thanks everyone for a great weekend.   :smt044  :smt044

Glad to have made it there for a few hours Friday and meet some new faces.  Cool dudes!  I got another chance to try out my sail going against the wind.  It was tough to tack but I made it to hetch hetchy against a pretty stiff wind.  I was planning to get a free ride coming back but would you believe that wind just died when I was about to go?  Mooch, thanks for setting this up and the parking pass.  I had a relaxing time and hopefully next time my schedule will allow me to camp.

Thanks Mooch for setting this up. Me & Adam had a enjoying Saturaday - would of liked to spend the night but Adam had his garden project - he's on vacation this whole week to finish the project. The food was excellent and the company of NCKA members was memorable - Sorry for not bringing the tomato salad but will do it again soon just for you.

This was a really fun weekend! As opposed to my usual performance I actually caught a SMB!!(I think it was a small...) With the Yak loaded down to leave on the way out no less!! Lots of great people to hang with, however missed the rest of you AHULLS that didn't make it. Some things I learned this weekend:

-I do not like Thermarest mats AT ALL  :smt011

-Sometimes even live bait won't work

-When Mooch is hungry better feed him fast or he whines like my 4yrold  :smt005

I have some pics to post so stay tuned......-Sara
