No days left for BAM reg!!! Lets party!!!!

  We have never been to mendo and don't even know how to fish for stripers but we'll give it our best shot. 

Paul, last year's BAM was my first time at mendo, and my first time fishing for stripers.  Unfortunately for me, I didn't do what you are doing now; I didn't look for advice.  I didn't bring minnows and people were offering to let me use some of theirs. Go figure, that shows what kind of people belong to NCKA!  Fishing in a tournament and your "opponent" offers to help you.  I was hard headed and stuck with my lures.  I got skunked and still had an excellent time.  I am not saying lures don't work, they just didn't work for me.  Plus, isn't it kind of relaxing drifting a minnow around? 

Good luck.  I am sure with all the advice here, you should do fine.  I learned my lesson last year and returned in Nov. with some minnows and got some bendo action.

See you there.

Only five days left kids, and I am leaving for the Klamath after work today.

Hi Sean, can I give you the the registration fee at the BAM?

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!

  I think i am running out of gas/patience...sorry. I need to go fish!

yeah, you do.  go get some roe.  the netters up there are selling for like $2 a skein.  Get some for me, too, to use on the russian.

$ coming to you from me.

Sorry Sean,  I already ask my wife to cover up my registration fee ( I don't have checking account that's why ) and send you a check for me Im just gonna give her cash...I'm in, and check is on the way.

I sure wish i could go with you Sean, but once again I blame my boss and his damn schedule! I'm too old to work weekend graveyards!

Much luck to you!

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 .

Sean - I'll find a way to get you the fee asap! Thanks for all your hard worrk on getting this event going!

WE LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS 

Don't forget" Da Bling"  for a lucky angler.....

I'm workin hard on the 08 version right now.

These are the last two years.

Dude, Where's the one with the striper eating an anchovie? Going old school again this year and will supply a couple big cats for the fish fry.

Decided to hook up the trailer so I will have two extra yaks on hand. So just look for the guy with huge cats at his camp site. For any of you who don't have a yak or experience come talk to me and we'll get you hooked up.

Sean, We going to have a swap meet again this year? That might perk some interest and I would voulunteer 10% to the cause.

Just talked to a pro fisherman who says that he already ordered his belt to fit the buckle and he sounded damn serious.....

Ha ha....I'm totally stoked!! 

I will bring extra pfd's, seats and paddles, seems like someone always forgets those essentials.  Maybe the portable piranha fishfinder as well.. Gotta love those Humminbirds.

Don't really know who Francois is talking about, but did purchase a wide, natural, cowboy tooled leather belt this week, that would go good with that shiny buckle, and I am, ahem, a Pro....a force to be reckoned with.....not to make anyone nervous, but stripers have been known to flock to me just ask Steve S. (on second thought, don't.  He will likely tell the actual truth!)

This will be the rare derby I can attend where I'm actually able to compete.  Remember HMB 2007, when I had to cut 3/4" off my ling cod's tail to make sure we didn't have to listen to InsaneDuane snivel all day.  Duane, you wondered why I paddled back out when I saw you waiting anxiously on the beach with your fish?

SEriously, I am so looking forward to community and camaraderie as only NCKA can provide.  Who else is bringing instruments?  Guitarzan?  Danglin?

I'll get new strings for the 1952 Guild, Frank told me not to bring the Alembic and 68 bassman amp.  I have a saxaphone too if anyone can play.

Now just have to figure out what menu items for the weekend...........

SOooooo Glad your going to Make it Scallen!!!    Awesome...

 Mangled finger is Healing up well, so ya, bringing a Guitar...

Also,
