Thanks for the help in posting the flyer Wade. I think it came out pretty good.

Patrick 🎣🍻

I've contacted "Lets Talk Hook Up" and Pete said he would mention it in the upcoming shows. I'll be in Boston this weekend so I won't be able to participate. Feel free to call them if you want to support the event.

The flyer looks good guys, I'm looking forward to the event. Especially the blood orange blonde :cheers1:

It took a while, but I was able to get the total amount raised by the June 14 and 15th event at Chili's. A total of $536 was spent by people supporting the Bass and Brew 2013 event. This worked out to $80 being donated by Chili's to the Heart Association. Thanks to all for their support. This brings the total in cash donations to $230 so far. Thanks again, we're on our way.

new donations
 

Trader Joes has donated 3 cases of water for non drinkers and designated drivers. They also gave us 2 bags of their lump charcoal. Nice grade for grilling. We will have a couple of Webbers if you want to grill. I am supplying hotdogs. Trying to keep it easy for a first effort. If you want bring something, let everyone know.

Patrick :cheers1:

More cool stuff for the raffle.
UP Sports up in Oceanside donated the following items:
36" roof rack pads
A heavy duty dry bag
A paddle leash
And a paddle keeper
UP Sports self branded items are very good quality. He has some really nice seats, drift chutes, paddle leashes and more. When I went to pick up the items today, the brand new Fish and Dive he had for sale brought back many memories of my first kayak. If you are interested in a Cobra Kayak or a stand up paddle board give him a call. His sf branded SUP's are priced very well.
Thanks to George at UP Sports for his donation.

David is one of the nicest guys you could meet. We had breakfast with him and his two wonderful daughters, Chloe and Emily. I showed Emily a cartoon photo app I have and here is the family cartoon style.

I met with Mike Ryba of Reeb's today. I had contacted Reeb's at the beginning of this adventure and he was aboard as soon as I asked. He donated some sweet swag for the event. Spinner baits, weed less jigs, plastics and some stickers. We talked about BNB and how he was sorry he couldn't make it. He had to fish Cedros that weekend. I hope he has an amazing trip. Here are the lures.

I mentioned to him that I had some thoughts on a new line of lures and his eyes lit up and big smile came over his face. I hope he takes my ideas and does what we discussed. If he is able to do what we talked about it will be too cool. Sorry can't say what it is,but if they come out it might be big!
Great to meet you Mike and thanks for supporting The American Heart Association and the local fishing community.

Well, here it is , my favovorite fishing shirt of all time. Tattuna, owner of Kelp Clothing sent a box of shirts, hats and stickers. The shirts are fantastic and the Sheapshead is my size. I guess I'll have to try to win it in the raffle.

The Live Target lure looks real fishy!

Patrick

This is shaping up to be a fine event. Thank you for all your hard work! Looking forward to it..

You're welcome everybody. I could not have done this much or received as many items as we have amassed without the help of my wife, Vicky. She has been awesome with helping organize, plan, setting up reminders and thinking outside the fishing sphere for donations.
Thanks Honey!

Patrick

Thank you MRS Patrick!

We have a smoker from San Diego Grill Pros. They will demonstrate it at the brewery with six Tri-tips for sampling.

Another view, these paddle very well, and extremely stable, it will be available for demo on Saturday...

I haven't been out of Oceanside Harbor yet - are we launching from the ramp on N. Pacific St.?

I always use the ramp, not coordinated enough to use the docks. I pay for parking then sell the ticket to someone for a couple bucks off.

It sounds like fun. What can i bring and how much dinero?

Me first:luxhello:

Rieffer,
You could bring some cut up Oranges or a couple bags of tangerines. We are supplying hot dogs, brawts, water, soda, beans, coleslaw, brownies and condiments.

Patrick

Who wants to bring a couple of cut up watermelons? Costco has them cheap.

Yes I can go, im not getting sent to the field. Ill be launching from the base harbor and paddling over there to meet you all at the launch ramps. :beer:

Oh and I can bring some watermelon no problem.

Thanks for your service and for the Watermelon.

Patrick

As of today we just broke $7000 in donations!!! We will be working on getting more right up to the event.

I wonder how would do with more time and the experience we now have.

Patrick

I guess Ill be launching from base also if not Ill just go to the launch. Sounds like a good event, what can I bring?

There is a chance I would not make the morning trip but I may be able to head down and hangout for the second half for some BBQ and Bear but I'll have to bring the 2.5 year old. Would having a todler at the brewery be an issue?

It will hopefully be crowded, but underage is ok. Besides everyone wants to meet the next generation of angler.

Patrick

Thank you so much for putting this proper event together for the masses & most importantly the American Heart Association!
Patrick, :you_rock:

Wade

What he said. For those who couldn't make it. You missed out on a good time. Fishing was slow, but the beer was cold. Thanks Mr. Patrick for all your hard work. (and a special thanks to your wife.)

:thumbup: had a great time today, good to put the names to faces. Yes the fishing was slow but aztec more than made up for the slow fishing. Thanks Patrick

You're welcome everyone.
