Paradise Halibut Derby - May 8, 2010

That's how it's done.

Sorry I missed out!

I see why they call it "Paradise"... Great pics, food and fun! Sorry I missed it - Was busy with our daughter's 'Sweet 16'.

Best,
Jeff (a.k.a. Steelerhead)

Twas a good time for sure. Perfect weather, perfect tide, great group, great grub, wheres' da fish?? 4 outa 5 ain't bad. Adam, thanks for your efforts, love the casual demenor of the whole event. Next time plant a few more halibut eh?     My favorite story of the day was the smelt in the glass story  Always love checking out the creative yak riggings in these events too. Good times.

It was good seeing everyone. Thanks Adam and Barbara. See you all next time.

It looks like another great job setting that up Adam. Wished I could have been there for this one, too much work at home to get done and Friday was my only day to get out. Congrats to Stormscrambler for the nice halibut and what a great painting Guitarzan. I bet the fish got a glance at the ominous looking fishing weapons on the grass and swam away. Those pictures of all the kayaks ready to fish are awesome. Thanks for sharing the moments!!

right ear means you are 'spoken for' or does the right ear mean you are desperate!

THANKS to Adam and Barb for setting up this 2nd annual hook-up.  We'll all be looking forward to ity again next year.  As always, thanks to Hojoman for capturing the fun with his camera.

The fishing was slow, but that was no big deal considering that weather was perfect and good food and great company was waiting on shore.

CONGRATS to James for landing the biggest butt and earning that super-cool Guitarzan painting.

great job adam.  looked like a great time. 

Wow, tough day, but ended well! Congrads on the first prize James!!!  Wish I could have made it    Was a hard call to make, but I'll be there next time for sure!

Wish I could have made it

It's almost like you were there.

Yes, congrats indeed to my Del Valle fishing buddy James who is having a break-out year. First yak butt is always something to remember. Really had a great time dragging little smelt around on a beautiful day on the bay. Almost fell asleep on a couple of the drifts. Many thanks to Adam and Barbara for organizing. Didn't feel too bad about the skunk since the weather, company and food were great and the "luminaries" got skunked also.
