Hello to everyone just wanted to thank certain people who helped in and participated in this event.

First off wanted to say there were 29 people that entered and only 2 fish weighed in a 70# and a 17#.

The WINNER was the crew from Tips Up boat Graham and Mike which won $290.00 way to go!!!!!!

The next big prize which was to go to the smallest halibut anyways was a Ugly stickrod and a mitchell Reel with line went to the crew of Tailout, Rick (tailout),Chris (siwash),Brian (casper).

There was a hidden weight prize which was a Heartland 10.6 mooching rod but since there was'nt a fish for it it was drawn from all the people that was there and it was won by Geoff(Captain Dudds)

The meet and greet on Friday night saw all the skippers of the boats get there prize first which was a new Wesking halibut Gaff and a package of Rhys Davis bait.

There was alot of prizes given out and a special thanks to these people:

Sounds like it was fun day even with only 2 fish! Ide rather be sittingon the water than sitting on the lawn mower <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> any thoughts about setting one up for salmon this summer <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

To fish or not to fish,
What a stupid question!
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and he will sit on a boat drinking beer for a life time

Need to discuss this with Roy and others but I am thinking this would definatley be a great idea. You must have read my mind was just thinking about that this morning. I know that I would bring MyEscape and it would be great to be up against many anglers with lots of expierence fishing for salmon. I also hope that many of the group make it up to the Chum Derby in October.

Cheers ME

A summer meet-and-greet derby? I'm in.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Just a thought: folks would need to plan ahead so a date for such an event would need to be selected sooner rather than later.




Remember, it's called "fishing," not "catching."

 

[nedarb2]

Ill be able to make it if its in renfrew in august (i dont have a trailer )

BIG TIME THANKS to Wolf for gaciously taking me, Kev & George aboard for this one! I truely had a GREAT day out there, and you made that all possible! Hope to return the favour aboard the Dream Weaver in the not to distant future...
Very MUCH</u> Appreciated!!

Also thanks to MyEscape and the organizers/prize contributors. This was indeed one of the better fishing parties I've attended, well thought out and presented! Kudos Gentz!!

To the rest that were there, T'was a BLAST! Nice to meet so many and put faces to names (even though I still honestly can't recall meeting the Infamous Bags <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>) Dunno if I'll be able to wiggle out of work (fishin' that is) for a salmon go, but will indeed try... Great Crew to play with, and right looking forward to the next!!

Cheers,
Nog

Nogg, I think i have a picture on my cell phone of Bags wearing your hat and me and Vinnie in the background with the lovely waitress at the Red Lion. the Classic event was when ME was on the Squauk Box and we could here nog in the back ground yelling!!!I almost fell over the side when i heard that. DOOEY GOONED

That was a classic event to get Bags out! Wolf saw him too as proof!
Good times for sure, I have not done an all nighter and then fished all day without a wink in a few years now! Why does my head hurt <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>????

[yo mama]

Another classic moment in Sportfishing BC History!!!

 

[Mr. Dean]

Kudos' to everyone that participated in this event. GOOD JOB!!!

Congrats Geoff, aka Capt. Dudds.
I'm sorry that, as for now, you can only dream about that fish'n stick. I'll see if I can't get that rectified ASAP. It should be on it's way today. Tomorrow at the latest.

I'll e-mail/post you the details as they come in.

Some like it rough...
Others just puke!
Mr. Dean

And to add my two cents, I'd also like to thank Wolf and My Escape for organizing this event. Although I am reasonably new to this site, I wanted to come down and meet a few of the local guys and put a few faces to names. That was certainly taken care of and maybe we'll all get to fish together again soon. Thanks to all that provided prizes for this event too, I'm sure that the get out of jail free card will come in handy on one of these fishing excurions in the future.

As most of the folks that turned out know, I didn't have a ride when I showed up to the meet and greet Friday night. I would especially like to thank Roy aka Wolf for his generous offer of the one empty seat on his craft. Roy, thank-you. Also, I'd like to thank all you members that came and offered their apologies for having a full boat and not being able to fit me in, that was understood and appreciated more than you probably realize. Another time, another place.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Anyways, tight lines to all and you can certainly count me in to any future events that we might want to organize, including the Salmon action as previously noted. I may be able to help with organization duties with this once decided on the way ahead.

Thanks all,
George



Seafood, eat it, then catch more.
