2015 PIF Paddle event 7/18!

that YAK is awesome ---I am gonna buy a bigger stack of tickets this year!! 


is there going to be a separate thread for donation prize pictures?
I just got a sweet full tilt ,gear box, 50% donated to this years event ,same deal as last year from Jim at 'Gone Fishing'

Really nice box ---and is ready--- for some lures to get tossed into it pre- raffle---hint hint-----maybe  a hidden cash roll if the winner knows where to look  ???

beautiful kayak guys  --this is going to be a great event ..just word of mouth in my circle we got like 10 local guys in on it for their first time,at  this years paddle and raffle

will post a pic of the box once I get it set up with some member made baits and fun stuff tomorrow a.m

NICE!!! Way to come through Trace

Hells to the Yeah!
Tracy you just earned another champagne shower celebration haha!   

And big props to Ocean Kayak for coming through too! We are very lucky to have people in the industry who understand & support what we love to do. 

Attached is a little poster I put together. Feel free to print & distribute, if you would like to help solicit donations for the raffle.

I'll throw in a new Werner paddle to go with it. 

Wanted to send an extra special shout out to Emily Bronson, marketing specialist with Johnson Outdoors...she worked closely with Tracey to make the prize yak happen.

Great job ladies!!!!!!

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

So I am trying to set up my truck to travel with a kayak and my fifth wheel and plan on staying down that way for two weeks. 

I looked through the thread but may have missed all the details. 

Can someone please provide a map or explanation on where the event is happening at and if there are any parking issues to worry about. 

Also just wanted to see what usually happens and in what order or time frame since I have not been to a PIF event yet.  Is it a pay for meal or bring something to eat type event .  Will everyone just be hanging out on the water or will people be back on shore doing something.  Are folks planning on diving or fishing. 

Parking RIGHT AT the event site is limited.  Lots of nearby parking, though.  Yes, plan on bringing some food/drink to share.  Heck, bring a donation for the drawing too!

The event is a party on land and water.  Some "fish" a bit during the event.  This is generally just to look cool while hanging with the crew.  No real effort is put forth into the "fishing" aspect of the day.  It's more a sense of a family reunion with water, kayaks, food/drink & a beach!  Good times!!!!

Awesome, sounds great.  Will bring the wife and hopefully a new kayak to try out.  Still not familiar with the location so is there an address it didn't come up on my phone search so maybe need different map program.

Search 'Monterey Bay Kayaks' at Del Monte Beach

Search 'Monterey Bay Kayaks' at Del Monte Beach

I was searching MBK and honestly wasn't sure what that stood for.  This helps.  I have been to Monterey many times but never fished there.  If I didn't ask I am sure I would have been at a different location. 

Thanks

Here ya go, Duane. Address is 693 Del Monte Ave. Monterey, CA 93940
