Dammit!
I missed the eggs and I missed SkiPro Jerry!
First time I've ever gone to a tourney and not fished it.
I can guarantee I had more fun in camp.
I believe I suffered a food coma on Friday night.
Entered the tournament but did not fish, brought something to the potluck but did not eat from it, entered the raffle but did not win anything yet still had the best time ever.
It was definitely the shot in the arm I needed.
And on a final note (Ariel does it best) GODDAMMIT LOGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :smt044

Tobiko and quail eggs and I missed it!? That's candy right there!

I had an extremely great time hanging out with my friends. What a treat to just do really nothing but visit and cook and eat.

My personal highlight of the weekend was helping Jack and crew with the Taco Shack. Very rewarding when peeps respond with giant smiles (and cold beer gifts).

My campmates, Sarah, Tiny/Momma, Stevie/Alma & the girls, kayakjack & The Spaniard (sorry I stole your beer(repeatedly)) made this a weekend to remember. I had a ton of fun!! Can't wait till next year.  :smt002

Thank you Craig!

This was my first trip to Albion but it won't be my last.  Although I didn't fish,  I had a blast.  Just getting to know all the people I met was worth the trip.  Ski Pro, Grumpy Bass, Antonio, Rob and all the others in upper C-section made the trip worth it.  Like Jerry said.  Everyone just understands me and made me feel welcomed.  I learned a lot about what I needed to fish the ocean.

The pot luck was amazing.  Jack and his crew made the best fish tacos I've ever eaten.  Everything was great.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.

And to top it off, for me to win the Hummingbird Fish finder just topped off the weekend.

Thanks to everyone for making this the best weekend I've had in a long time.

Hey Tony, did you leave your Air Force ball cap in the shower area?  I found one that looks just like the one you were wearing, so I picked it up.  If it's not yours and someone is missing one, I have it.
