The officail Albion report

Looking for more pictures to add to the Albion event in the photo album. If anyone has more pictures to add, please PM me for my mailing address. I handed out copies of the July 4 edition at Albion. I'm sure I missed a lot of people.

Albion 2012 was a huge success! Thank you Craig and Linelle. I camped next to the awards area and watched Craig talk to about 10,000 people. The NCKA folks were looking out for each other!

Teaser pic for now, more later!

I saw her leave the Jedmo Nation and go off to the beach with somebody....not me though, I stayed and talked marriage and life and fishing and diving with Salty. 

Robin was her name right? She came up and asked the group who she had to make out with to get some food?

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Cool tatoo!

This was the subject of Zilla's enchanted forest comment.   Then there was the comment "don't tell my dad" like 12 times.  Don't tell your dad what?  That you are drunk and annoying?

Nice Joe.  Great memories.

Craig and Linelle, thank you for all of the worry and time you put into making Albion possible for the rest of us. You are sooooooo appreciated!

Congratulations to the winners! You picked one swell day to prove your angling prowess. Nicely played.

After fishing lessons from the very patient Holy Toledo on tournament day, we had a sackful of fish (vermillion, black, blue, and one wee greenling that I wouldn't let HT use for bait) to bring home to cook for friends (a page from the Big Jim playbook), so we spent the rest of the weekend exploring. The floating cabins upriver seem untouched and way upstream we even tried the sea beans growing along the banks (they're crunchy and salty). We paddled around the cove on the flatter days to check out the places we might have overlooked and walked the trail up canyon past Schooner's Landing where is it always sunny and twenty degrees warmer.  Such a beautiful place!

I'm still recovering from all the fun.  My pants don't fit anymore, which may be because you are all incredible and generous cooks. Or it could be that my campmates shrank them  . I wouldn't put much past the pranksters O2B, Fishunter, Bird, Polepole, Jonesz, and HT. I think I pulled something laughing. Honestly, thanks for everything, guys — the fishing tips, the fish cleaning, abalone, scopase, the site, snacks, not doing all of the mischievous things to our tent that I heard you planning when you thought we were asleep, and the great stories.

The reports of everyones else's adventures, the art we brought home, and all these pictures are great reminders of a slammin' weekend. Thanks, pals.

More pics

Nice pics Joe! The one of the kids both made up like melodrama villains is frikkin hilarious!

I hear what happens at Albion, stays at Albion..........until someone posts it here

I wish I could have been there, work sucks sometimes but at least I got a job (for now anyway)
no way I'm missing Albion open next year

Wow! Looks like you hit it outta the park again Craig!
I'm sad I missed out on what looked like a ton of fun.
Gonna have to make it next year.
Thanks for all the pics everyone, they brought back some awesome memories.

A little late, and this probably belongs on the DIY/rigging board, but here it is.



Fun times,
Doug
