AOTY Awards Picnic/Potluck - 3/13/10 Report & Pics!

Congrats again to Patrick and Allen... those guys fished hard and earned their keep. It was great to see some old faces today. It was really nice to see Janice. I haven't seen her in a long while... too long. The food was great and the bsing was better. Thanks to all involved in getting this together. Here's to another epic year...

What fun that was yesterday hanging out with the NCKA family and friends.
Special thanks to Bill, Chuck, and the Sponsors for making all this happen. Me and
my family had a wonderful time. Glad to meet new people I have not met before.

I must have tried seven or so different types of beer yesterday. Thank God my
wife was with me to take charge of the wheel.

Hoping to put in as much time as I did last year. It will definitely be a challenge
to catch all 20 fish for 2010 so will see how it goes. Looking forward to fishing
with all you again.

Arrived at the marina around 10:30 and would you believe it, I was lucky enough to snag the last parking spot. Walked over to the picnic tables only to learn that I was surrounded by complete strangers, none of whom look too pleased about me being among them. I was at the WRONG location.  Good laugh, strangers' loss...if they were the slightest bit hospitable, I would have taken some pictures for them.

I think the marina is the best central venue for the AOTY awards so far. Should use that site more often.

Sonny's deviled eggs were delish.

Allen's dog was SO mellow.

Allen's dog was SO mellow.

Yes, indeed.  Red is quite a "show" dog 

Oh yeah. There were also reported sightings of Big J, JTF, and Arial Sea.

Hobie bags, appetizers, & desserts

It was great hanging and bsing with the gang, always a good time, great food, Thanx Bill, Chuck, HOBIE for the killer goodie bags, and all the Ladies for putting up with us! We went to a going away party last night till 4 am, we played every song they knew, Im beat.

I love puppies...They're so playful!
