I hate talking to the cops in my underwear at 3am.  Why does that only happen when I'm hanging with NCKA guys?

Maybe falls under the guise of: "seemed like a good idea at the time?"  :smt003

I totally agree with Alex.  It's all about the people!  I have never fished competitively but haven't missed many NCKA events.  A non-tournament even works great for me.  The Loose Screws have always been about the social aspect.

  I have my doubts about ever holding the event again though.

Tournaments are lame. There will always be a part of the crowd who are only there to try to win a tournament.

Make it an FnC and you only get people who want to FnC.

+1, just looking for an excuse to head up there, fish, and learn from others....and possibly sink a couple beers? maybe ;)

With Omicron now being the prevalent strain going on and not hurting a single soul, The virus has mutated to the point of being like a common cold.

I live out here in Texas and we gave up all those protocols so much sooner that what your state did and we have lower case loads. As a matter of fact so low they don't report it on the news anymore. We go about our daily lives interfacing wit one another, gathering in large groups and no one is getting sick.

There really is nothing to fear about the virus any longer, but I am sure y'all are being pounded daily by the media propaganda.



Well at first glance with 76,052 deaths it looks like California is winning the stupidity race compared to Texas with only 75,494 deaths, however, California has about 11,000,000 more residents. So California has 1,925 deaths per 1mil population, and Texas has 2,604 per 1mil population. So clearly Texas has been kicking California’s ass, and continues to do so.

We have to give credit to Donald Trump for pushing, and funding to get the vaccines developed in record time. He was on the news today letting everyone know he, and all of his family received their booster shots, and he was pleading for everyone to get theirs. He knows he will never get re-elected if his followers are dead.

Stats Here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us


The only credit DT gets is 400,000 deaths on his watch which he's responsible for. His M.O to get states to compete with each other for PPE resources, his botched response to the pandemic and reluctance to act fast (all he did was mumble again and again about reducing flights from China which is all he did), failure to help people retain their jobs, slashing safety nets (getting rid of the pandemic board), asking to slow the testing so that we could show that we didn't have much cases as compared to the rest of the world (we have the highest), pushed snake oil medications (bleach, hydroxychloroquine), shunned science, interfered with CDC covid reporting and a gazillion other things.
He should be used as an example of what a leader shouldn't be lest he gets away with all his doings.
You might want to get that checked…I must be reading “other resources”.  I seem to fall into the “Let’s Go Brandon!”  camp.  Hope we can still be friends :smt005 :smt006

We can still be friends :) And btw Brandon won ;)

We had the Forebay FnC in Feb, will have the Del Valle FnC on April 1, and will have many more in the coming months.

We gonna make 2022 the year of the FnC.

Yup.

I'd also like to recreate Adam's Giving Back Butt Hunt at Paradise.

And after buying all this shit for the Del Valle FnC I definitely want to do more boat in camping....with Tomales Bay being high on the list.

Sorry for the threadjack, E!  :smt003
