Sorry to be so late with the post but I would also like to recognize and thank Eric for making GS4 such a great event.  So much has been said on this string that "Ditto" might now be the best comment!  Thank You NCKA!!!!!

This was my first GS and it was great.

Beautiful place, beautiful people, big fish. 

Eric kudos, well done. This was massive and went sooooo smooth.

Crash, thanks for fishing with me.

Sonny, thanks for the tour -- wow, gorgeous country.

The only downside is my definite and prodigious lack of ambition today.

Another incredible Gimme Shelter. I know you're tired of hearing it, but thanks again, abbie.

Arrgh!

Totally cool event !!!!  well organized and well excecuted. My favorite ncka gathering to date. Thanks to BillS and Bluenative for letting me be on your team. Extra thanks to Bluenative for those awesome homemade white-kastle style burgers. Thanks to bloodbath for putting us on the abs. Although the visibilty couldn't of been much worse, we managed to bring home the bacon. Thanks to the stormscrambler for delivering said bacon to my daughter in livermoore. Danglin, you were AWESOME on the guitar sunday nite. The hotel and staff were fantastic. I'll never go back to the campground.

I'm not going to do a big long report...Especially since we barely fished 

Yet another great time with the NCKA crew at Shelter Cove!!! 

We had an awesome time as the rest of the crew, even without a lot of time OTW   

I cant believe it has come and gone so quickly, I just wanted it to last forever   

Well, there is always next year! 

It was great to meet some new friends as well as the old 

Jim, your the man we were routing for all along!

lMFAO@ the pic with andy and spooner!

One more thank you, goes to Matt S for the sweet swim baits and lead heads......That combo you sell me for to cheap every year really does the trick!

 

What is the report on those EWB knife jigs?

Not sure what spooner did, but here are two more pics of him with Rich and Reid.
 

  Thank you Eric for a great time . I know the built up excitement you all talked about . I pulled up above the campground to see all the kayaks in the camp, really a unique scene .I was actually so exhausted from working extra time to make it that I took my time getting on the water and keeping an eye on my son (his first time) on the water.
He had one hook up but it came unbuttoned right away . Nolove for me but all was good. Thank you cajun for the kayak loan for my son .
Went out for abs with amphibian  a little while after was too muddy and rough but good experience , thanks Merv.
 Slept in day 2 fixed the kids a big breakfast and sent them on their way .
Caught up with elongatus and fished most of the day with him and yakhopper basically had one fish on after another kept a pile of the biggest blacks. Thanks fishfarmer for the bait I think it made the difference .
 
It was really great meeting so many and putting faces to names

sledge is a BEAST!

I love you guys, man! Enjoy video.
