Rigging Day

With all the request for rigging information and details y'all ought  to organize a rigging day (says the man on his way back FL) to swap lies and compare rigs (kind of a show and tell). A picture may be worth a 1000 words, but nothing says "ahhaa" like putting your hand on it.
 
 Maybe hook up with a local retailer or club. I did it once a while back with the Northwest Steelheaders, but many of the (considerably) older gentlemen looked at me like I had three heads when I got to the part about a drysuit and getting "in" the water. Perhaps they are ready to try it again. I met Allen in person for the first time at a paddle day down here. Only problem there was he was the only fisherman (and paddlers mostly just paddle )
Come on guys, GLF wants to see an anchor rig* and everybody wants to know how to get dressed.






*Told you we'd get around to teasing you besides, everybody else wants to see an anchor rig too.

LMAO...............I can take a good ribbing!  Thats for sure!  and I can give it right back once I get to know ya life is way to short not to have a good time and fish!!!


Oh wait!  Rigging day is an exxxxxcellent idea!

Alder Creek has a Demo Day/Paddle Fest at the end of April.  I'll be working the Ocean Kayak booth and a kayak fishing seminar.  Rigging (at least my version of it) will be part of the exhibit. 

Another option.. I should be getting a promo copy of the new kayak fishing movie "Game On" pretty soon.  I haven't heard back from the publisher about having a formal viewing, but if we find a place to do a rigging day with a decent TV I could show that as well.

For a total newcomer like myself, this sounds like a great idea. Wish Portland weren't 5 hours away ...

Isn't everything at least 5 hours away from the state of Jefferson?

We used to do this once a quarter with our offroad buggies.  Called it a Meet and Greet.  Usually met at a pizza place, or BBQ joint.  Then everyone would eat, chat, tell lies and then go out and kick tires and see what everyone was working on. 

Sounds like a cool way to have a get together, and do some show and tell.   I vote that FFTW shows everyone the "shimmy dance", I really wanna see this performed live.

Meet and Greet? Excellent idea!


The Secret Fish Dance live? not gonna happen.

Doesn't BS have the "Secret Fish Dance" on video somewhere?  Would make a good intro for the "Game ON" screening.

The sooner the better! I'm looking to drill a few holes this weekend.
