Thanks to all who are playing and to NCKA for letting us have our fun!!

ps...my prediction is that the second half of the year is going to see a LOT of position changes!!!  :smt003

DOTY participants continue to battle it out and post some really nice fish!

Currently there is only .125 points between 1st and 2nd places!!!  :smt062

A little over 4 months to go....plenty of time for multiple lead changes, new species and upgrades!! The halibut remains the elusive unshot species so far this year, and I know a lot of guys have been hunting hard for them...hope we all get one soon!!  :smt003

Here are the current Top Ten:

1. Rob102 2690.125
2. BigJim 2690
3. nelson kwok 2474.5
4. IceColdChuck 2414.625
5. Adam415 2404.75
6. Norcalslayer 2342.125
7. Sean Otter 2239.875
8. Shark Bait 2010.5
9. Desertdiver 1487
10. northshorediver 1450.625

http://doty.norcalkayakanglers.com/leaderboard/list (http://doty.norcalkayakanglers.com/leaderboard/list)

And I have attached a few pics of some of the current top fish.  :smt004

Thanks again to all who are playing and to NCKA for letting us have our fun!

Because of DOTY I have been able to keep track that I have gotten 9 personal bests so far this year!! Monkey, kelpy, cabbie, abalone, black, sheep, greenling, verm, and copper!!

Jim

Thanks Jim! Congrats to all the competitors! Nice size fish.

For halis you need to pm this guy. I was gonna ask of you can mothership, but hell with the distances some are paddling for Hali these days only the depth matters it seems!
