Berryessa Salmon Slam IV Report (merged threads)

Ricci, I wasn't able to attend the Sunday potluck, will you be posting the winners and their catch?

I would like to thank Ricci and fellow NCKA members , as well as sponsors for all of their hard work in organizing this fun event for all of us to enjoy! It was really nice to meet new people and to see some familiar faces as well, the level of camaraderie was humbling to say at the very least. I am very thankful to be part of such a fine group of individuals.
Fish hard ! Nick

Hey Nick,

Great work yesterday figuring out the patterns and baits that got you into some nice fish. Also Thanks for trying to hook me up and help me out with some tackle on the water. 

Enjoy the new yak

Good job on the win.

I could not have possibly had more fun! Big thanks to Ricci and everyone who put this thing on. This was my first NCKA tournament/event and I still cannot believe how welcoming everyone has been to this noobie...many a muggle has taken me under their wing and showed me the ropes  I hope to get to know you all better in the months and years to come. See you all again in a couple weeks!!! 

Well done, Nixter!

Congrats!

Should we move the reports from the other thread to this thread, call this the official thread, and add it to the Tournament Archive Sticky?

Tommy-
Sorry no fish, but sounds like you were a big raffle winner. See you soon at HMB.

Congratulations Nick.

Some of those pics are absolute comedy… 

Thanks,,,

It was tough to leave my camp site…  haven't been able to slow down that much in a while…  I was even doing school work while there, but still it was incredibly relaxing … 

Kool thing was a a older vet came by and we got talking about HOW and struggles of returning vets, and a few more came up, asked questions and got them info on HOW, ncka and getting them to a HOW event soon… very unexpected ….

Got to Thank Chris W. for bringing all those knives that seem to arm most of the NCKA youth,,, could be trouble,  Chris is a First Responder who has taken to our culture quite rapidly…

  Welcome Aboard Chris!


  Y'all may want to check your tires… I notice an unusual amount of nails in the roadway in front of our site and made a round just around our site, picked a handful of nails. I guess this is left over from when they tore down all shanty shacks that used to surround the lake…

  Awesome time…..
