Crabfest January 27, 2013 (Waiver page 1)

I'm in and reserved spot #121 accompanied by my wife as well.  Arriving on Friday and leaving on Monday.

My only experience crabbing is from a collapsible net off some docks down in Mississippi over 30 years ago, so I'll need some o that trainin'.  Hope someone can post up where to buy traps.

I am trying to set up a clinic that will go over the basics of crabbing from a kayak. The headwaters will be getting in traps soon, I will keep you posted.

When will you hold the clinic? I may come up just for that.

Do you know if Amadeo is going to attend the event?

If so, I better bring a pocket full of cash for some more prints....

On Wednesday October 17th: The Headwaters kayak shop will be holding a Clinic in Lodi at 6:30. A potluck will start around 5:30 for those wanting to come early.  Promar traps will be available for purchase at this event for 15% off for those who attend the clinic.  Please bring your own chairs for the Headwaters clinic.

Count me in for Wed.17th.

Great looking prints. Snagged a T shirt. Wish I could make the 17th, but in middle of grape harvest. Gonna have to learn from You tube and day of crabfest.

Sweet did you get a T-shirt online from Amadeo? No worries about not making the clinic, take a  look at this article by ChuckE http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?page=18 . Look forward to seeing you out there. Plus Doran is a great spot for a first time crabber.

I so wanted to make this but will be working late up around Lake Tahoe on Wednesday and can't get to Lodi by that time.
