3rd annual Sunset Bay Angler Of The Day Tourny Aug. 11th 2012

Had a great time, the best of which was sitting around the fire, tipping a few pints (well, maybe more than a few) with good friends. That Grey Goose is way too smooth. after passing the bottle around 3 or 4 times, it snuck up & smacked me upside the head. 

Had to work hard for the fish. Scouted it out Friday for greenling, which paid off. Caught a cab that day also. The pics are from Friday. LB, Oly & me got some sand shrimp on Friday. Left a bucket of them at Roy's for Saturday morning, nobody else took advantage (except me). That's what I caught the greenling on. Couldn't get to the best perch spot, & the 2nd choice was occupied by some local boys.

These pictures are from Friday. Too busy trying to catch fish for Sat. pics.

Sandbar looks fairly benign from the Sunset side.

17" cab before going back in the water.

PNW, I believe those mason jars we were drinking out of were quarts not pints.

Oh yeah... that's right 

& thanks to Ninkasi for providing the IPA!

I think the photographer got drunk and forgot to take pics at the fire at my house...

Awesome pics Paul!

Put up a bunch of pics on the gallery. I'll try to post a few up on the thread later if i get some time, damn job is really taking away from my leisure time!

I got home and fired up my laptop and the hard drive died. All my pics were of scenery anyways, fished Fri. and Sat. pulled skunks both days. Should have used some of PNW's sand shrimp I guess.

Had an awesome time. Big thanks to Roy for organizing a great event, next year we are guaranteed greasy flat seas.

The post fishing feast was awesome! The bacon wrapped fish, chicken green chile Mac & cheese, Dave's chowder, Paul's clams, it was all delicious. Erik's wings the night before were succulent too.

Thanks to Ninkasi for the nectar!

Also I would like to say a big thanks to the "anonymous" NWKA member who donated the North X Northwest bobber rods. I walked away with one, and it was a cool bonus to come away + 1 in the rod dept.
