Looking forward to seeing some Doormats again this year! All signed up, sweet you at the Tourney.

That was the best ever lineup of giant fish to win a tournament.  Lets see another set of huge fish this year 

I'd say that tape is suspect.  Welcome to the club

On the into to sailing course we noticed at least 4 dead pelicans floating in the water, and the trainer was mentioning they have been seeing a lot of them recently 

Wouldn't miss it! 

They may not be salmon, lingcod or rockfish, but they are super fun to catch those Bullards kokanee. It was a lot of fun fishing with many other koke stoked fisherman on the beautiful waters of Bullards Bar. One could do with less blood suckers and lake lice, but being with other NCKA'ers makes it too much fun you forget about them quickly.  Arrived Friday and was greeted by Brian and Kevin at the camp ground and got setup then we all had an afternoon session.  I lost a few bites and then after switching rigs I landed one!  It was as excited as I was and was happily returned to the water after a quick shot. The next day it was game on and bit was hard to find in the early morning.  After getting two it took several hours of trolling to get another bite.  On the far side of the lake (or wherever I was) I was getting waked by two joy riding boats at the same time just after I set my DR.  i look back and the rod had popped the clip, and I was thinking the wake fowled my set out, but no there was actually a 13" koke on my rod  From there I picked up 4 more and it was an hour left before the end. I tried to pickup three more, telling myself I can get two double hookups by the time I"m back to the launch, but I had left the fish got no more bites.  I stayed another day at Schoolhouse since I had Monday off.  It was empty on a Sunday, I had the entire area I was in all to myself.  Really enjoyed the weekend catching those tasty kokes, hanging with good friends and enjoying the comradery and potluck.

I don't have one nor have I tried one, but the specs on the Hobie Lynx seem decent for being a lightweight hull at 47lbs, and the drive is another 16.  It looks easy to load and be comfortable on lakes.
