Paradise 'but hunt 5/23

OK, OK! Mas Photos

The arrivals continue, gear is stowed away, yaks are wheeled to the cars

Scott and Craig with their source of future fish steaks. Jedmo off to secure his yak with his daughter's moral support

The group starts to chow down and reacquaint with buddies and make new friends

First of all, I would like to thank Adam & Barbara for making this event possible.  Let's do it again next year.    As far as fishing goes, got only 1 take down for the day and it got away with my shiner but had wonderful time on the water.

Arrived at the gate around 7:00am and found NCKA had took over the lower parking lot  


Launching time


Met Adam & many others on the water

And then...the rest of the fleet returns, including ChuckE  

ChevroletDayz, also known as the KoolAid Kid, with his first hali

ChuckE with his last-minute surprise

The pot luck was great with lots of left over as usual  






The kid was happy playing/climbing


Lots of people fishing from the pier

Once again ChuckE & his biggest fish of the day


And Craig's Hali came in second (amazing how he makes it look much bigger  )

Jedmo's daughters

And the partying continues

Adam, thanks for setting up the Paradise venture. Paradise is a very cozy place for a party. The park rangers were terrific.

Hojo and Sonny thanks for all the fantastic shots. It really makes the day.

Craig, if you want any of the original (full-size) files, just let me know which file numbers.

With all the photos, it's like I was there.
Solid showing of fish, apparently Adam picked a great spot to hold this event (no surprise there, the gut is a hunter of fish).
It's great to look through all these pics & recognize so many folks that are looking so happy. It's a wonderful alternative to what we see on the average media news.
Looks like NCKA delivers another good 'un.

WTG!

Big Thanks to Adam and Barbara for setting this event up.  Great time - people, location, food, and fishing.  Enjoyed meeting and hanging with folks.  Great pictures guys!  Top-shelf all around!

It was cool to see the kayak fleet on the water.  Thanks for the shiners Craig! Congrats to all who caught fish - Chad, Craig, Dustin, Scott, Chuck - sorry if I missed someone.  Classic - ChuckE rolls in around 11ish and bags the big fish!  

Take care - John
