Official Crabfest 2020 Report

Thank you to everyone who came out to Crabfest 2020, the largest kayak crabbing event in the world. We had a total of 97 registered anglers and 90 of those 97 signed in that morning. We lucked out with the weather as it started raining right after we took the group photo. The crabbing wasn’t great but there was still crab being caught.

As always the potluck was amazing. NCKA really knows how to eat. Thank you Badger Ranch for the hog donation, it was delicious. A big thank you to all the sponsors who supported the event. The raffle raised $3,804, which will go directly to www.dyf.org.

At the end of the raffle I announced that next year will mark 10 years and it will also mark the last year of the Raffle, clothing and Prize portion of the event. Crabfest will most likely move to a Crab and Chill style event. My family and I have enjoyed hosting and organizing this event. We never thought we would make it to 10 years and here were are.

Please feel free to share your pictures of the event here and if you share them on Instagram use #nckacrabfest #crabfest2020

Next years event will be on 1/30/2021

Much love,

It was good! Rain held off until the end.

VW doing great work:

One of these 10 people won a kayak!

Enough teasing...who is the lucky person? 

Great event as usual.  Thank you Victor and family for all the hard work put in to make this event such a success.  The crabbing wasn't so good this year but it didn't matter.  A great time was had by all! Looking forward to Crabfest 2021.

Enough teasing...who is the lucky person? 

Buddy of mine. Far right... the lazy bum! He’s stoked though despite the look.  Lol

But ya super fun day! Weather held out perfect! Look forward to Hojoman’s pictures as always!

Cheers

Thanks again Victor for another great event! Never remember to take many photos during the event. Looking forward to seeing hojomans pics

Since I was not able to kayak or fish due to a broken rib, I got through a bottle of Cuervo margarita and 2 bottles of rum.

That is my report.

Thank you Victor! Another great Crabfest. Already excited for the next one.
Here is video report of the event.

Thanks for the video, Moo - felt like I was there. 

Looks like a great event.  WTG, Victor and crew.   

Thank you everyone! Keep sharing those photos. Full report on first post.

Let me introduce you to my little friend, Pinchy!

Thanks Victor!  You and your family do a great job.  See you next year!  Already have my site booked!

Great turnout and great event. Thanks to Victor and fam for all their hard work and organization. Glad the weather was better than expected. Looking forward to next year and to crab and chills beyond. Couple pics from bait to plate:
