P.S.
This is Allen's baby, and I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by posting this.

AWESOME!!!  Aside from the Yakhopper serries, this has been my favorite local event for years!     I'll be there for sure, and maybe this time I can actually place! 

DOH!


Thanks Eric.........!!!!!

Time flies Guess I've been lagging.  I help coordinate this annual event, and it IS a great get-together, and we always see some nice fish come in (except that ONE year)

Someone has to knock E2G off his high horse.  Alain, you up for it?

We don't have a huge amount of prizes, mainly it's for the spirit and camaraderie.  But, Ocean Kayaks always donates a brand new fishing kayak as 1st prize (there's a cool grand right there), MBK usually kicks in a nice paddle for #2, and third place gets something smaller, like polarized fishing shades.

All proceeds beyond the event costs (Man-dogs-sodas etc) go to my favorite non-profit:  The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project (who released 240,000 king salmon again this year from the Santa Cruz Harbor!)

I'm glad someone around here is thinking.  Thanks again Eric!!!!

That's the weekend before Albion. 

That's the weekend before Albion. 

In all fairness to MBK, I'm pretty sure it was the same weekend last year.

I'm just bummed because I have a soccer tournament that weekend in Santa Cruz.

I'll be there and grill dogs if needed. I will actually compete this year because sumo needs some competition.  actually, the only one I would bet on besides sumo is Nathan, sumo jr. 

My horse can get higher still    Will be there for sure. 

Looking forward to big butts and clear skies.

Shark_bait is in as well

I'm out... gonna be in So Cal for the weekend....

Earning WAF points before Albion....

Will try to make it 

Wish I could, but I'll probably have a newborn by then!

Have fun everyone!

I'll be there to show the local support

Remember.....the more people show, the more fun we have.  Fewer people show=the better chance to win! 

so you guys should probably be downtalking the event.  "It was no fun last year" ; "there's no fish to catch at MBK."  Like that.

  It's always fun !!! Not sure my WAF account has room for it as we are leaving Thursday for four days at Albion. Besides with Eugene there the best I'll be able to do is second place  . Kind of like challenging DC to a Hali fishing contest in Santa Cruz. How about an E2G versus DC side bet. My money's on E2G
