silver lake report

Thanks to Eric and the sponsors, I had a great time! 

With the warm surface temps and no prefishing intel, I stuck to trolling the deep water hoping to hookup with something big. The only action I got was on a gold and black (chub looking?) stickbait. Had several grabs but landed just one 18" mack. No idea where I placed, but I did receive a nice goody bag from the drawing. Might even be something in there to use at Tiki!

yes!  some damn nice fish caught out of proton lake.  Def on my fall high sierra list to hit the Hwy 88 corridor.  congrats to all who won, placed, and competed.  good stuff

Let me know when you head up to Proton, I'll tag along. Want to try again for some nice Macks.

First, a huge thanks to Eric "Yakhopper" for all his time and hard work in putting together these events and secondly, thanks to Fisherman's Warehouse and all the sponsors.    Congrats to Dillon and Adam also.   Ghost is my inspiration, teacher and truly the fisherman; he puts my fishing tackle together, since I probably will use it because it's pretty, not practical.  Catching the mack was truly another blessing in my life, in addition to having the best extended family ever, "NCKA family" you all rock!   Thanks to you all for the congrats and nice comments.  I asked Frank "Ghost" to weigh the Mack, in case I don't catch another one; it weighed in at 3 lbs. 2oz.

Awesome Event guys. YAkhopper you out did yourself again! Had a great time camping with my family. I have a ton to learn about trolling from a kayak, but I feel a little better after this weekend. Props to the ladies who brought in some very impressive fish. Thanks for the great experience, see everyone at Tiki!

Yea Bunny,

More proof that the NCKA fisherwomen are coming on strong.
Did Frank cook the fish for you? Seems only fair  

It was great to meet Tim (Daleshark) and share a camping spot with him.  Word of warning though; don't let him be in charge of fixing dinner!  The poor guy didn't eat until after 9pm due to a 'charcoal malfunction'.  Ha! 

Also wanted to meet FolsomFishing simply because we live near each other and I'm always looking for someone to meet up and fish with.  I may have met him, but didn't but the Christian name with the on-line name. 

RacinRob; I would pay good money if you ever decided to put on a fishing clinic.  I got two strikes and you got over a dozen fish?!?  That's awesome!! 

Bunny; thanks for taking the time to talk about your kayak with me and my DW.  Also enjoyed discussing campers and retirement.  We are both looking forward to meeting you and yours at the next event. 

Dan/Paddleboy84; thanks for delivering the drysuit.  I tried it on after I got home and it fits perfect.  My neighbor however, almost called the cops when I couldn't wait to test it's waterproofness out in the horse watering trough in his field next to my place.  I guess I should have asked first, but wasn't sure how to really go about doing that. 

Good to see Tote again too.  Gotta have you and DW by the house some time.  It's just too close to NOT stay in touch. 

Great meeting everyone else too.  I had a great day despite not catching anything and also want to thank the sponsors for the gift bags handed out.  Everything in that bag I can use!  Thanks for the hospitality shown to my family while there too; wife, son and granddaughter.  You guys are salt of the earth. 

I've had my share of skunks too SkiPro. It was just my day to catch fish. Too bad they were not big enough.

Not just your "day" Rob, it is your year to catch fish!!!1

It only took 4 1/2 hrs to cook .  do to elevation.  But that tri-tip was good the next day, that's for sure.

WOW, Some big trout there!
WTG Bunny!!!
Next time I'll be there, with Henry of course 

Wow, I really missed out on this event. I would have loved to see Bunny take first place. She is truly the spirit of NCKA. She has been so nice to Narisa and I, we consider her family. You really deserved the win, I only ask one thing Bunny, can you do it again at Tiki so Narisa and I can see you win?

Eric, you and the sponsors do such a great job of hosting these events. On our drive down to Los Angeles my wife kept saying how she wished we could have been there. She was sent to a conference last minute so we couldn't attend. We are already looking forward to Tiki.

Thank you again to Eric and all the Sponsors. 

As Bunny was heading out I said to myself, "Best damned hat of the day."
Turned out to be the luckiest too. Congrats Bunny. I love that the woman in pink out fished us all.
Thanks again Eric, we had a blast.

time for Bunny to get her own screen name...like how about Bunny????

odd that the actually ghost is nowhere to be seen or heard from...

Thank you to Eric, FW and all the sponsors! Andie and I went up for the day and to deliver a kayak. Didn't fish, but we still had a great time visiting everyone.

A big congrats to Bunny and the other winners!
