Noon feels a bit early for weigh in.  Especially for guys like us that hit the water at 9 :smt044

There won't be very many crab, anyway. Especially after this rain.

Are you and Sarah still coming, bro? If the weather is decent I'm thinking about camping Saturday then jammin' home early Sunday morning and picking up Derik so he can hang out. I'm sure he'll be stoked to see you guys.

I don't know I hear the rain drives out the crab and this week is going to be mostly sunny, so I am thinking they will be back just in time.

Just FYI, I have used my visa/check card there many times this year. Of course the iron ranger only takes cash!

Maybe they have changed things, I have annual pass but I know before I had one they made me go to the gas station to get cash.

Chuck says the storms push more crab into the shallow water and he likes to crab after a storm.  :smt012 I will be at site #110 Saturday night. :smt006

7:45am  - Derby Begins

I think we should have a shotgun start like the Moyer or the Black and Blue.  :smt005 :smt005 :smt005 50 kayaks loaded with pots and floats sprinting 50 yards would really be something.  :smt005

Yeah would be cool to have like a relay start. All the yaks on the beach and the start line 50 yards away. At the shot everyone runs like hell. Second thought bad idea all the hungover chumming from the short run.

Not a class. But we will be screwing around in our boats sometime early afternoon like 10-11. Sorry to be so vague.

If I know me I'm usually the last to be dragged off the water. We will have a chance to paddle together for sure. I will be the guy in the green helmet.
