I'am bringing hamburgers,hot dogs,hot links,and brats.I have not seen anyone offer to bring ribs,chicken,potatoes, or corn on the cob. But does that mean there won't be any?Someone said they were going to bring some fish but will they?And I have no idea how many people will show up.

If I do this next year there's going to be a non refundable fee this way we know how many people will attend and we can plan a little better.I'am thinking of BBQ a whole pig and have the sides catered.

So it's your call on what size rig to bring.And I don't think you should have man the BBq all day so bring your yak.

If we have plenty of food maybe we can eat at 1200 and then again between 4-6.

I believe someone is bringin' ribs or something cause I was told to specifically bring bbq sauce brown sugar and foil, which we are...it's a party right so I imagine there will be plenty, I am leaving at 0330 so let me know tonight if anything is needed, although we can get stuff in the am if needed, Kendall is available for assistance....

Turnout and what's being brought does seem like it will be a surprise. Your idea for the next one is great and I'm all for that.
I'll be there as early as possible and by mid morning at the latest with the Kingsford.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. See ya tomorrow.
:cheers1:

This is my last thread for tonight. Time to hit the sack.Tomorrow is my only day off in 12 days and back to work Sunday at 0300.So see you all at Yakfest 2012.:cheers1:

My dish
 

Cleared the day so Potato salad it is...boiling the eggs and tots right now.

Almost done loading the truck. I'll be heading that way in 30mins..

Sorry guys, I can't make it with the goods like I promised.

I used my one San Diego trip pass for La Jolla on Friday instead. I live way too far for a 2nd trip.

Yak festivus
 

Nice meeting everyone. Glad that my twice a year, north and south idea was brought up. It would be nice to shown around someone else's backyard and learn new areas.
Glad everyone liked the plastics. I think a north county mico-brew pub crawl might be a a fun off the water thing as well.:cheers1:

Fun Times
 

I too had a great time yesterday. It is amazing how every one I met was super cool. Can't wait for the next one!

All around great time! SDFISHMAN you rocked the Grill great job!:you_rock:
Big thanks to FINYAK for putting this together and everyone that showed and brought a dish. :cheers1:

That was fun folks. It was great to meet everyone, put names to faces, and
enjoy some good food in the sunshine.
Once again, MAD PROPS to Justin for working the grill. I've seen pictures, but until you see in person, a BBQ that has a TOW HITCH, ladies and gents you haven't seen squat. Very impressive indeed sir.
Other thanks...
Yakfin for coordination and the use of your van. Nice to meet your bro too.
Kendall...for including some Ballast Point on the grocery run.
? (my sincerest apologies for forgetting your name)...handed out some killer
plastics. Took the time to explain a little about each one, best colors and options for each spot/species too...and I forgot his name. I'm an ass, but not an ungrateful one. Thanks again.
DD for taking a Seeker Black Steel off my hands. Enjoy it amigo!
Nice to meet a couple of Matts, a Kat, a couple of Roberts, Mike, nice to see you Johnny, Patrick, and the rest of the BWE family.
RobFish

I'll be at the next one with my new Yak once I get it. I won't be out of the water long. Looks like it was a fun time.

Who's Yakfin?:confused::mad::doh:

Good times. It was good to meet you all. Thanks for everything

-Justin

Sorry Frank.
Remember when I told you I used to road race motorcycles?
Obviously I've hit my head a few times.
From this point forward, you will always be "sir".
Makes it easier on both of us that way. :)
Good times.

RobFish

Not to beat a dead horse, but I will...

I had a great time meeting up with everyone and will make sure I make the next one too. It was nice meeting up with some of the yakers my way and I will be sure to go visit you Redondo guys/gals as well.

Thanks again,

Jesse

When i finish building my bbq smoker i might have to do something like this to break it in. I wont finish building mine until begining of next year. Been planing on building this for about 2 years and finaly started it fridat, bought the trailer and about 75% of the steel i need :) 16 foot trailer with dual 7.5 foot smoker chainbers back to back. Building it for catering and competitions.
Would have loved to go but i coulnt make it.
Pictures looked like you guys had a good time.

Hmmm...do I smell a BBQ smack down sdfishman vs. danjor?:rolleyes:

YEAH!!!!...:reel:

hows about we meet half way, and all congrigate somewhere near "the sewer" that way most would have about the same travel time cept for Team Sewer gang, and there is alot of fishin area, and I think there is a beach there somewhere....or not, just a suggestion, but whatever we doo, we need Katfish to help organize....:D
