Had a great time and I didn't even catch a fish!  I did venture up river for the very first time and I have to admit, it was worth it!

It was great hanging with the crew and all the usual dudes!  Never a boring time with the NCKA crew.  Another Albion trip in the books and looking forward to next year already. 

Thanks Craig and Linelle for all your hard work to make this happen.  And another big thanks to Jedmo for helping us out with the poke!   

As for the fireworks, it was awesome! 
If you ain't first, you're last.

Here are some great photos that are posted on the Press Democrat. They really did a great job of capturing the event.

Great photo gallery.  Looked really sporty out there, not a FAC day at all.  Still, some major fish caught, good times had, no doubt. 

Congrats on another awesome tourney ravenscraig!

Not only did the press democrat have a great picture.  Look who's in the new addition of Kayak Angler magazine.

A classic wooden structure ,
The Albion Bridge opened in 1944.
Since it was built in WWII most steel was going to war effort  so they used redwood for most of it.

Great Weekend !!!
Thanks Craig & Linelle, you know how to do it right[emoji1]
Had a lot of fun with  the Uke jam!
Thanks guys and gals , it was FUN!
We Complimented each other well,
I thought
And the food was da bomb !

A 26.5" male  on the stringer, the fishing was difficult that weekend, although I was lucky enough to avoid the skunk''I ended up with 2 Lings, 1 Cap, and 5 Rockies,
Not too good for 3 days??!!
Smoked Ling Collars!!
I like it W/ cream cheese & crackers
Uummmmm Goooood!

So did I.   I asked for the same campsite.  Can't wait.  I'll have all the right gear and clothing next year.
