I have recieved a lot of suport for these events and have also recieved many requests to have at least one more event.
I'm not making any promises,
but will probably organize at least one event this year.
It was stated that "I could not leave my Family" and I find this to be true, I would miss this group of lunitics.
If I do organize this event, I only know one way to do it .... BIG!!!
So please cast your vote and let's see what happens. 

See Ya Soon,

Alright Eric.  I guess I will be the first of many here that are looking for another poll entry.

I don't care which one or any of the above.  CHECK!!!! 

Because I have enjoyed all you events.  What makes it hard to choose for me is the variety of different target species and location the Yakhopper Series has.  I am glad you are contemplating doing another event and very much look forward to it.

I don't care where or when, I will be there.

I have been trying to go to Clear Lake and Silver Lake but for some reason did not make it.
if you build it we will come.

Glad to see you talking about the events.

I don't care if there is a prize,( but if I win I'll take it)  I want the event to get together and have fun.

Who cares about prizes :) well unless first place is a year supply of brew :P
Your arw event was the focusing point for me when I bought my kayak. But the way the bite have gone this last couple years, I highly doubt anyone would want a halo tournament in alameda. Whichever event, place, or date I am sure I will try to make it. Besides, your events are a great family venue so the wife wouldn't mind to tag along... Hopefully.

Only went to the ARW 2010, 2011, and 2012 events. 
Enjoyed all of them.  The 2010 event was my first yak event ever and I even got lucky enough to win it.  Besides that the comradery is what I found to make the events.  Didn't fish the 2011 event but enjoyed helping others setup, launch, recovery and the party after :smt006

None,didn't get a chance to make any of them.if I knew you might stop organizing them I would've tried harder to make the tiki event
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I went to CL last year on my 40th wedding anniversary--still married.  I would do it again if there is another event.  Dutch oven peach cobbler for you and your family if I make it to any event you put on!  You got class Yakhopper.

Hi Eric,

I'm so glad that we are having at least 1 Yakhopper event going this year. My vote would go to Clear Lake as well.. and it may be my first time catching a fish from a kayak on freshwater!

Regards,

Hermes
