Here are the specs of the yak and I have attached a few pics of some of the fun I have had on it this past year.

Just a reminder that 100% of PIF raffle ticket sales will go directly to Hailey Pass to help with her medical bills...

I got JK to donate the yak, I have paid for the Monterey Bay Park BBQ area out of my own pocket, and all $$ received in cash, check or PayPal will be turned over directly to the Pass family.

Here is an update on how much $$ has been raised and given to Hailey so far:

Bummer Kiel!!

That is correct...you do NOT need to be present to win prizes.

Any prizes won by people who are not present will go home with me (unless you ask a buddy to get them for you) and you can come pick up in Watsonville or coordinate with me to get to you via NCKA express.  :smt002

Rumor has it...the Cuda is "Glow in the Dark" Illuminati color??!!  That would be perfect, and would probably lead to more Illuminatis being sold. Because the Glow factor makes a lot of sense for Norcal.

OK my boss is serving jury duty today, so I made a couple mock flyers real quick. Thumbs up, thumbs down, or kick in the crotch?

Oh yeah, crap! http://www.montereycarweek.com/Events.html  I wouldn't plan on launching from Stillwater Cove on Sat, the day before PIF.
The sites are Veterans Campground are first-come, so there might be 1 or 2 available. But Laguna Seca is likely to be full. And those are the only 2 campground locally. Other option is Sunset beach or the KOA in Watsonville. Or another 30 minutes south to Big Sur. 

But a campout at Craig's place in Carmel Valley sounds fun though! There's room for 1 RV/trailer to park in front of my house in Marina if necessary too.

never had tents a this house,but i had folks come camp it for the motogp at our old place and it all worked smooth.. before but I'm sure it will work out...chairs a fire pit or just let folks stake out where they want to crash/tent /park and go fishing the next day or after the fishing before drive back...it'll all come together...no worries..space  for folks is the easy part

I have had some unexpected events take place with my ability to invite folks to camp out for the weekend.
I do not want to discuss the reason on the internet in an open thread but if folks want to knwo,and we do end up at the event this year,I will give a brief description as due to the three folks I had to reply to p.m's to my offer and let them know at this time I cant swing the campiing....

not a big deal but a stresser as far as telling folks come one come all then having property issues about something else come up....
that said I do want to apologize for any misleading invites...or for folks having to change plans...15 or so days to go--- I had to make a call now based on my current take on my deal...later or next year or other events should be fine ...but this one I have to back out\Sorry

Didn't know about that campground. Thanks for the tip. We might use it in the future.

Checked availability online and they have a four night min during concours weekend. Still looking for a place to stay or we might make it a long one day trip.

FYI for the group, I transferred $346 recently from PayPal to checking for Porky's daughter Hailey.

This is $ that came from AOTY/DOTY reg. fees, and from some PIF ticket sales and Softtub ticket sales.

Every little bit helps so THANK YOU all!!!

Current balance in account is $1,494.16.

I will be leaving $1,300 in the Paypal account. This is $ that came from AOTY/DOTY reg fees and is earmarked for prize plaques.

Anything above $1,300 will be transferred out of PayPal and given to Brent to help with Hailey's medical bills etc.

So far the NCKA community has given Hailey a check for $4,165 (AOTY/DOTY reg fees and PIF donations), $805 in cash (GS8 Silent Auction) another transfer of $627 (AOTY/DOTY reg fees and PIF donations), $590 from Sledge in SoftTub ticket sales, and this most recent transfer of $346 for a total of $6,533.

Here is a list of SofttubTicket sales made via PayPal:

Micheal Jundt $20 (1 ticket)
Derick Roberts $40 (2 tickets)
Eric Roberts $100 (5 tickets)

Here is a list of PIF Ticket sales made via PayPal:
Aaron J Peters of spearingforum.com $40 (2 tickets)
Rick Duenas $40 (2 tickets)
Derrick Roberts $140 (5 tickets for him, and 2 tickets gifted to Porky)
Jason Blalock $20 (1 ticket)

I also have a $20 bill in my wallet for 1 PIF ticket for my friend Terry McFall.

So $260 so far in pre-event PIF ticket sales.  :smt001

The $6,533 that has already been given to the Pass family combined with $194 still in PayPal and $20 in cash that I have in my wallet gives us a total of $6,747 raised so far!!

If you think I am missing anything, or have any questions at all please just let me know, and THANK YOU once again....

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim


ps....I also want to acknowledge and say THANK YOU to PolePole for allowing AOTY/DOTY fees to be used for PIF this year...THANK YOU!!  :smt008

I have a couple more prizes to add to the raffle.
  • Monterey Bay Kayaks (MBK) is donating a nice assortment of safety-related items: bilge pump, whistle, leash, etc. Woohoo! And be sure to visit the store when you're in town...it's right next to the location of the PIF event. And NCKA members get 10% off. They recently expanded their kayak-fishing gear section btw.
  • Loleta Eric's Guide Service has stepped up to donate a Certificate for 1 FREE guided trip! This is a full guided trip in Shelter Cove or another Humboldt location (depending on where the hot bite is happening and/or what type of fish you want to learn about & target). How cool is that?!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I got some dough to reimburse whoever gets a site or two.    :smt006

It's looking like I can't make it down until Saturday afternoon. I'll pay for Friday and Saturday night, though, if someone snatches a site I can crash at.

It is with a heavy heart that I must say I will not be providing a "wooden item" this year for the PIF drawing ....

    INSTEAD

   I WILL be donating one of my personal collection metal sculptures (made by me) in it's place.  Didn't have time to wrap up the wooden one I was planning for this year so I will PIF a much larger metal, wall hung, art piece.  Picture to follow this evening!  I take great comfort in knowing the two last wooden art pieces have found wonderful homes in the NCKA family & no doubt this one will too!!!!!!

Officially the permit I bought for the picnic area says that "Dogs, animals etc are prohibited"...but I have no clue if anyone enforces that or not Chad...pretty sure I have seen dogs there before at perevious PIFs...maybe ask ChuckE cuz I KNOW his dog was out on his AI with him the first time we did PIF there...

Dogs are allowed at the beach where PIF event takes place. Here's what I found online: http://www.monterey.org/en-us/departments/montereyrecreation/parksandbeaches/dogpark.aspx

""While enjoying the outdoors with your dog, you can do your part to keep Monterey safe and clean for all. Know and follow the City’s dog safety laws:
1. Dogs are prohibited in all parks with the exception of El Estero, Veteran’s Memorial, the Dog Park, along the Coastal Trail and on beaches east of Wharf II.""

I also wondered about this dog thing before ,and did some self research
 ...I have spoke with many dog owners as I would unload or walk back from parking the last 2 years and the general ,regulars, dog walkers feedback was that there "may be/ is/ a leash rule" from wharf #2 to the hotel and on the front park areas, but no one enforces it ,dogs are able to run and play without tickets ever being seen by anyone I talked too , and all the folks love to bring their dogs here on and self police the poops etc,...
we bring our beagle there a few times a month now,leash free to the hotel and back  and never get funny looks or see leashes on the other dogs

Jim, seeing your recent post about the unclaimed prizes, I have an idea with the heavy ass sculptures so you dont have to hang on to them, you have done enough.... If someone wins one and is not there, just give it to the next winner, if the original winner really wants one, they can send me a PM and Ill make another just for them and they can figure out how to get them from me. Now if I win one, just replace it with a kayak :smt005

This was my first PIF! So glad we went. I liked how everyone gathered together ...not like at the tourneys where everyone goes off in their own directions.
My hubby caught his first fish on the salt (a little sandab) and then got hung up. Ended up cutting the line, just couldnt get it free.
Ive figured out that while I can paddle in the ocean with no issues, as soon as I start fishing I start felling motion sickness. Uggg! Took a while to shake that off.
Missed the potluck but Bunny filled me in...very cool! Such a fun and special event.
Thanks Jim and everyone!

Fun Paddle to the Red Can..... Great company at the Red Can; including sHOT Dogs on the water!  Freak'n awesome weather, both on & above the water...

On shore great food; I really never left the pizza section..... pretended to serve folks, but scammed 1 slice each time (jk :smt003)... 

... to coin a phrase: "I had fun"
