Crabfest 2013 Report and pics (Pic Heavy and report on first page)

You Guys Had Fun! 

Congrats on the yak 

Looks like you guys had a blast, great pics!

Great People, Wonderful Event, and Fantastic Food ....my gout flared up big time today...haha...I saw that coming when I just couldn't say no to all the delicious dishes. Thank You All....Sponsers, Promoters, Beach Chefs, and Contestants.  Congratulations Chuck!

Crabfest was a blast!

Everything about the wknd was awesome.

The weather could have been a bit better, but what can you expect for January on the NorCal coast.

I had the best time hanging with my NCKA fam members and meeting new members.
Goodtimes for sure!

Thanks to all who showed up to brave the chilly winds for the Crab/Uke Fest, we had two sessions on Saturday evening that were rockin! I really hope we can do it again.

Luis and Brett: Big thanks for letting me share your camp, and fire.

Glen: Thx for hosting the first Uke session, and for the killer plate of Adobo!

A-hulls: always good times at your camp!

I did manage to get OTW on Sunday and pulled tons of crabs but just one legal Dungy, a female measured and released. So I guess, mission accomplished with my first crab.

Huge props to all who made the podium, and of course Dan and Victor and all of the sponsors for making the event a huge success.

The only bummer for me: Forgetting my camera!
So... no pics, never happened!

Looks like a great time for sure. Bummed I missed it but the duck hunting was too good for the last weekend of the year. Had a blast out on the Delta and figured with all the wind it would have been a better to hunt those duck then get crab with the little crab experience i have. Never have seen the official results posted yet but sounds like Chuck won it. Congrats on being the Crab King. Can't wait to see all out there soon.

Had a great time. It would have been tons better without the wind, but that is the beach. You'll never know what Mother Nature is going to toss at you. Wind on the bay side was so bad I never got a fire lite. Hopefully next event the wind won't be so bad. I'll post some pics tonight my wife took. A couple shots are of the seals that were cruising around. We actually left Sunday instead of Monday. Just couldn't deal with the wind any more.

Wow! Doran always has wind but it was windy even for Doran this weekend!! We stayed till 4:30 pm monday. Wind dropped off for a bit in the morning but by 2pm was up and howling again... Got one legal Dungie out of the 50 some odd crabs in my pot I did catch 5 Olive rock fish from shore though Tossed all but one back as Rockfish was hanging with us while Henry was eating.... He took one home. So, it was a bit windy... So, crabbing is a bit boring. I still can't wait till next time so I can visit with everyone. Monday caught Dan and a few others surfing with the Kayaks and had fun watching.... Better than TV

Great times. Thanks

First uke session and my first legal crab.

Thanks Dan and Victor for another great Crabfest. Naomi and I had a blast. Congrats to all the winners and as usual, the potluck was awesome.
Here's a little Uke video from Saturday night.

Jim, Your video link comes up 'Private' when I tried to view.  Is there a trick to seeing it?

Looks like fun! I should have went, the duck season ender was pretty slow

Great job Victor and Dan! I had an awesome time hanging with my homies and spectating from the beach.

Wait...Joe Strucdog won the yak?! Dude nice!

Thanks for the great reports and pics and stories guys. Almost makes me feel less guilty about missing it. Almost.
Keep those pics and stories coming!

A few more of my favorite picture. Really like the one of Ghost. My Dad took over 700 pics and I will be weeding through them this week. PM me if you find one you want high res version of.
