MBK Annual Fishing Derby MAY 2, 2015

You live in Aromas?  Me too!

the guy who won sure did well--how many times do we go out and get big lings and this guy does it on a day when 50 other kayaks could not---everyone  was out there thinking c'mon baby work it...work it....you know how we do it!!
but that guy did it and made it in by weigh in and rolled that kayak right over to his vehicle and that was all she wrote

gonna bother me the rest of the season    any time I catch a 10lb+ ling 

A little beginners luck did the trick!;-)

CONGRATS dude!!!!

When I got back from the beach my buddy Martin G. sent me a pic of you asking if I knew you! 

Small world...I guess you guys are neighbors? His wife works with my wife, and our kids go to school together. 

I was bummed that when I showed up at 1pm a lot of folks had already left, but still got to see some of the usual suspects and share some laughs and hugs.

 

Thansk again to Allen and MBK and all the anglers who supported T2B2! 

Let's do it again next year?!   

 

Sincerely,

Jim

A Small World For Sure !!!

I'm Neighbors with Chis in Aromas and just met Jeff a couple times.. ( That's a Yacht by the way!!  ) 

I took off way too fast .. I think I was too exited to take the kayak home ! Missed the mandogs and everything!

LOL! Yeah...they have yachts for sure! 

They took my Dad and I out sailing and fishing over the summer...super fun! 

Congrats again dude and look forward to meeting you in the future!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

We'll have to hook up for sure!  I've lived here almost all my life.  Left & moved to Florida for a few years but came back.  Great place to live!  Raising my kids here now at the same school I went to & the same school my mom went to.

Right on. We'll have to grab a brew at the grill sometime .

For sure

Hey i finally downloaded pics from my camera!
I paddled north for butts again. Didn't start trolling til I got to the beach hotel area. And kept going all the way past Seaside Highlands/scribble hill. That was the furthest north I've gone for butts outta MBK. My lower back & hips were sore for days...it's a lot of work to troll slow enough to bounce the bottom (3 rods deployed). I only stopped to drift a couple times; otherwise I was in constant motion. Hooked a little batray and thought it was a halibut until I got color and it ran horizontally...d'oh! On the way back, I said "F it" I'm going big and trolled huge Rapalas through the surfline, hoping for a big striper or thresher shark. No love on my lucky thresher plug though. Except for the sandcrab that got snagged LOL...
   
Getting ready.


Safety first!


Greeted by a big pod of sealions


Out of fuel


Mystery fin...didn't want to alarm everybody so kept my mouth shut


Sandcrab on the lucky thresher lure

Dolphin ... dolphin for sure 

We ran across it too, it was a sealion 

Orcas seem more realistic.  These were there in the harbor th next day.
