King of the Port 2-MBF/FNC-12/6/14

Congrats Fishworks!  Look forward to hearing and seeing the story 

I also wanted to say thanks to all that organized this, thanks to Rider for loaning me a yak, and thanks to Ricci for the tips and loaning me some gear. This is a great group of guys and I had a great time out for being a NewB. Thanks again brothers! Look forward to many more!

Congrats to winner!  Thanks to all that organized F n C.  A special thanks to Ken for providing the nice portable toilet; it was great, sink with soap, and even seat covers.  This is a great place; plenty of parking, good launch with easy access and only 1 hr 30 mins from Livermore, less time if you're not towing trailer.  The only bad part is there isn't a toilet there.

After the last sprinkle of much needed rain in early morning, the day was perfect; not too cool or hot.

The water was flat for the most part, power boat caused little waves and there weren't any crazy power boaters.

Wouldn't mind going there again!  Good jobs guys.



Thanks to Christina & Ricci for letting me get my baby fix of playing with  Santino at Round Table; he is so precious. 

It was great seeing everyone. 

What a Beautiful day otw with my fellow kayak buddies. The morning started with misty foggy wx to overcast and cloudy to cloudy and sunny.  Wind was hardly existent then about 930 it went flat. After checking in most with the mbf, I didn't get otw until about 705. Tried to catch up with Tommy and my couzin Joe but then headed back to the launch for a few more checkins. My lines wrent wet until I got past the bridge and once pass it, the bites began. I stuck to my game plan of top lining plugs along the south bank. Did this for 2 hours and caught 5 from 12-27ins. Then headed over the cement dock with Tony Novofish. I managed to find and get back my A-Rig that I lost the weekend before too.
started to head out from that area and decided to drop a mudsucker for a change and instantly got slammed hard . This ended being  another 27in. Fish. It was around 930 and I was done. Limited out. Shortly after that,  the bite seemed to just shut off.
Impressive was seeing ScottV land 4 fish in a row. Turns out he ended up catching the biggest and the most stripers of the day. Good enough for 2nd place. Other highlights of the day were seeing Abdivers son Hayden catch and release a nice Lil spunky striper rite in front of me, and seeing bunny and frank come all the way from Livermore to spend the day with us. What a great day otw with friends. I want to thank everyone who came and participated in the 2nd KOP and MBF. As it shows,  we can make day events like this a huge success. No sponsors , no charities can =Success. The end of the day chill at Round Table was awesome and a pleasant end to a great day. I think I'll have to do KOP3.1 this coming spring! Just too Fun

Awesome event!!  You never know what's gonna happen. Last year I didn't even get a bite, this time I get 2nd. Even if I didn't catch a fish the day was killer with great weather. Good times, good fishing, good pizza, great friends!

Great Day,Nice people,chill afterwards awesome
Thanks Ricci and all for organizing, and helping me out
caught a couple tiny stripers trolling...almost the size of the lure    
Looking forward to next years event

Took a couple pics to contribute. Great event guys!

Way to go Ricci! YOu are a fishing machine for sure. Nice job everyone else, it looked like a t great time! Wish I could have made it but flu bug has had me pinned down the past few weeks.

Congrats to the winners. I saw some nice fish caught. I'll be there for the next one. For some reason my minnows weren't working and I didn't even get a bite. I had fun anyway. I wish I could have made it to the chill afterwards. I broke the battery wire for my fish finder and I needed to fix it for Sunday.

COngrats fishworks and way to show them how its done! Scott you the man, owning it with the fly rod! Rob glad you caught some fish and made some $ doing it! more importantly, hopefully they were good for some KW points, Ive been on a hard skunk streak this month 

Awesome post guys.  I wish I could have made it but life sometimes gets in the way.  Congrads to all.  Well done.

Looks like you guys had a helluva time! Congrats to the winners! I'm gonna do my best to make it to KOP3

I had a great time as well. It was nice seeing everybody. I caught a few crappies for bait with a longest at a little over 11". Thanks for putting this together Ricci.
