PIF 2012

Had a great time for a great cause. Caught my biggest kayak fish ever. Second biggest fish to sturgeon I've caught in the past from shore. Won some money and sent it back to where it belonged. MLPA. Love that area and wish it was a lot closer. Didi say  I had a food time?

Had lots of fun and gained about 10lb. eating all that good food from PIF. Thank You to all! Thank Big Jim and Naython for the speared perch. They were good. Heres some pics and a un-edited clip on the water.

Thanks Scott!!!
  We Officially have our first HOW Kayak...
MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
 It's really a Big Step as we need to get a small fleet together to make HOW run smoother and more frequent... 
That Raptor is a perfect Kayak for what we are doing too....
Don't know what else to say other than Thank you again!!!
and Thanks to Baitman for Donating it to PIF....   

 

        Brilliant !       WTG  Scott.   What a generous thing  for you to do.         
   

Looks like a great time! A bit windy too but that didn't stop yall!

It was an awesome event! Thanks so much for all your hard work you guys. Its getting more organized and it really showed this year in all that went down. I didnt get a fish but thats OK. I got my salmon the next day. What I did get was all the love and feelings that come with a group of people thrown together for a common cause that makes us all feel like real human beings. It does not get any better than that.

I got to meet new folks and reconnect with the southern crew. Pleasure to meet Alien the next day and see Marmite again.



I cracked up on the radio when the assholes in the PB's said, " all those idiots are in a raft." If they only knew what the hell we are about.


See you all at Albion. Stay tuned for more love.

I am hearing the news guy talk about how violent a country we are (( Colorado ))as I read this and I witnessed first hand the PBs attitude at PIF //  the rental captain on the big boat from San Diego was trying to  stare me and my limit into Davy Jones locker he was not happy with the Kayaks  ...That being said I am thinking this weekend everyone fishing Monterrey should be extra careful , extra nice ,life vest extra snug , stay close  each other and  keep the go_pros on  record. ...never know what a drunk weekend captain is going to act like.

I don't always go to kayaking events but when I do, PIF is on the top of my list! 

Andie and I had a great time!  We would like to offer a big hug and thank you to all the A-Hulls for hosting this event. Your hard work and energy is very much appreciated. Also, thank you to all the people that donated prizes, food and time to the cause.

Sam the pug had fun too...

Narisa and I had such a great time. This was our first PIF event and we are already looking forward to next year. I had been working in Palo Alto all week so we decided to drive in to Monterey on Friday and look for a hotel, spent about an hour looking on the internet for a place and couldn't find anything really in our price range so we decided we would drive in and look for something when we got there. After searching many hotels and finding them to be well over $200 we decided we would just sleep somewhere next to MBK. With one last effort we pulled into the veterans park to find Mooch still up and he was able to find us a spot. We slept in the truck and saved the hotel money for PIF.

The PIF event was such a fun and different event then most. It was great to be able to hang out on the water with all the crew. I just wish I would have brought some fishing gear. I really missed out on the fishing. There were only five of us that left from the beach to the buoy and when we got there it was so awesome to see all of the NCKA family.

Thank you to the A-Hulls and to all those that contributed to the raffle. We look forward to the next event.

Here is a link to some of the pics from the day on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151109992977090.499075.507487089&type=3

Until the next event stay strong, Mooch Strong.

I just wish I would have brought some fishing gear.

You should have asked me - I had gear ready to go 

this thread is what NCKA is all about= i love it and I am glad to be a part of this family.

I've never been to an event nor the water yet  but I already feel the love just reading everyone's posts! 

Another PIF come and gone and I have to say it was amazing once again. A huge thank you to the A-Hulls and everyone who donated raffle prizes, food and their precious time to help out with a great cause. I had a total blast fishing, reconnecting with people I don't get to see often enough and eating the amazing food that shows up at these events.

I didn't land a salmon but had a great time giving it my best. Congrats to everyone who got some pink.

I can't wait for PIF 2013.

Oh and I promise to get some of my pics up when I get a minute. I got super sick the day after the event and am still recovering.

Again, a huge thank you to those that contributed.

Thanks Jim. I love doing this event. If you need help with organizing anything next year please don't hesitate to ask. Feel free to lean on me if you need help with anything.

Glad to help out with the WAF points. 

It's always a pleasure to chat with Ana. She is super sweet. We should get the families together sometime for a BBQ or something. I know Christa and Ana would get along very well and Valentina may be a bit older than Aubrey but I think they would have some fun too.

Thanks again bro...I had a great time hanging out with you!

No doubt. Lets do it again sooner than later.
