I'm heading out for a pre-fish right now! Let the skunking begin.....
Not even close...around 50. If it doesn't get close this will be my last event, too much effort and money for 50 folks.
50?!......what the Hell? come out of the fricken closet and give back to the person(GWKC) who gave his ALL for you!Well said Adam this Event is SoooooMuchhhhhhh fun I would register even if I wasn't coming to ensure future events.
You know your gonna be kicking yourselves in the head come monday, with ALL the posts and pics from those who know what this is all about....GIVING BACK!
and you get to fish,meet&eat!
now who wouldn't ENJOY that......the lake will be OURS!
Sign-up and get your waiver sent to you ASAP
.....or you're gonna "F" it up for the rest of us Real_NCKA'ers! :smt002 GET IT?!
and thanks for hearing me whine! :smt003
For those who are reluctant to enter the derby, I have a feeling you might change your tune if you happen to find yourself over a school of hungry fish.If you have never seen Stipers Busting the Surface you gotta go.I have seen fish feeding on the Surface but at Mendo I saw a bust that was a couple of Acres thousands of Stripers tossing themselves in the air it was amazing my mouth just sorta hung there I didn't even think of fishing or shooting pictures.
I have no doubt I would be winning AOTY
I will also volunteer as a newby guide if your not sure about where to fish. I have caught some of the biggest fish out of that lake during my last tournment and would have won the first place if they had a catagory for Catfish :smt005. I am serious about showing the ropes to a newby. :smt006Sooo Tempting I guess I just better keep my mouth shut.
lake mendocino is the most exciting freshwater fishing i have ever experienced. i highly reccomend everyone come up and take a taste of the good life. In addition, it is the perfect venue for teaching your kids to fish. i will be bringing my six year old daughter natalie and my friend lyle is bringing his six year old leo. we plan on teaching them the aincent art of bendo at mendo.
We were shocked. :jawdrop:smt058 :party REMEMBERINGlikeITwasYESTERDAY! :beer2 :smt055
EVERYBODY was so nice to us! Mooch and FishHunter put me on a limit of striper, everyone shared the best food I have ever eaten while camping, and everyone treated us like old friends even though we had just met.

Are the little doggies making the trip? :smt002
As I am still yak-less, if there are extra yaks around to try out and fish from
ok, i'm in. email sent.

It seems like everyone is willing to help the newbies, so here goes my concerns about mendo.
1) Is it easeir to get bit using minnows or artificial (where do I get minnows)?
2) Are there any electric plugs (I need my coffee pot)?
3) Can I make bait with a cast net (Is it legal)?
4) Any showers?
5) We will have a BBQ grill and feed those that we can bribe to help us.
So far I only have one yak loaned out for the event. If you're holding back from going just because you don't have a yak, don't I can help out there.We are already signed up and have our kayaks somewhere in the garage. All we need to do is clean them up and we're there.

We have never been to mendo and don't even know how to fish for stripers but we'll give it our best shot.
Only five days left kids, and I am leaving for the Klamath after work today.
I think i am running out of gas/patience...sorry. I need to go fish!
I would rather not. It closes on the 30th. if I let folks do on site reg then there is no incentive to reg. ahead of time. If people don't do advance reg then I have no idea of how many are coming. If I make an exception for you, then its not fair to everyone else. I think i am running out of gas/patience...sorry. I need to go fish!

Don't forget" Da Bling" for a lucky angler..... :smt002
I'm workin hard on the 08 version right now.:smt119
These are the last two years.
If anyone needs a Yak I will bring my Frenzy. It is small but fishable with rod holders and such. I also have a spare seat and rack space going up from the east bay Friday morning. PM me .I don't know if you or anyone else can help. My son and I are getting ready for the big weekend and now my older boy wants to go but doesn't have a kayak. Can he still go with us without being in the tourney (he doesn't have $55). He needs to borrow (or rent) a kayak and just wants to go fishin'.

Oh year that's right....Frank holds the forMeer title, right?
I'm in...what do yoU use for Bait Don?

Does bait soaking for the Big Kitty Championship start Friday night
QuoteDoes bait soaking for the Big Kitty Championship start Friday night
Yes. Big Kitty goes until Sunday am. It was amazing that ChuckE won both!!
kitty set up was the same as the striper set up....minnow and a 1/4-1/2oz. egg slider...they say the BIGGER ONES don't waste theitime with cut bait...they turn "preditor" after reaching a large size.QuoteDoes bait soaking for the Big Kitty Championship start Friday night
Yes. Big Kitty goes until Sunday am. It was amazing that ChuckE won both!!
What is a good set-up and bait for Kitty fishing?
What are the Tourney rules on fishing two rods if you have a two rod stamp?
I don't knowduane, but after living in SF for 5 years or so, I gotta suspect the three barmaids in the 2d picture. I think the one with her arm around you has a five-o'clock shadow, my man.

I hope they are biting for you too Duane... have fun.
