Decided to take the I-80 to I-505 to Hwy 128 route to Lake Berryessa route and found it a much more enjoyable drive than the Pittman exit route that I had previously used last year to get to Lupine Shores. Arrived to find ReelKnots already preparing his culinary treats.  :downtown:

Almost everyone eventually gathered for the awards. Some were still on the water, chasing after their fishing goals, some preparing for the potluck.

Some winners were not available to attend, for various reasons. Very pleased to see Daniel, Pat and Alain make the long drive from Salinas, Monterey, and Boulder Creek.

Can someone tell why this thread was moved to the public fishing reports? Isnt this the 2012 AOTY awards party post? This isn't a fishing report. WTF?

Well,
I would think all event reports would be public ... Show the lurkers what they missed ... Might get them to stop lurking and become new members.
However, this is just my opinion.

See Ya Soon,
Eric / Yakhopper

+1 and I'm OK with it.

BTW, I still have the plaques for: Eric/LoletaEric, Eric/Yakhopper, Rob/Matanaska, and Aaron/Pondpoacher.  Let me know if you want to pick them up or bring them to Shelter Cove in May.

GS-7 would be fine for me.
If you have access to them, could you also bring my placks from previous years.

Thanks,

See Ya There,

Ask Allen to bring your plaque from previous year.  He's going to GS7.
