Catapalooza '09 Pix - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 05-19-2009, 08:11 AM

31 of us boarded the MDR Flyer on Friday morning at 8:30 AM. The furthest came all the way from Utah. We got to Two Harbors via Avalon before noon and piled our camping gear for the gear haul to Little Harbor. We then loaded all the kayaks on a 2 stakebeds for the isthmus crossing. We walked across and set up to paddle and fish the 4 miles to camp. Saturday Josh and Steveo showed up and Zed did his beer batter magic. Brian and Blair showed up in his Parker as well and floated a ton of squid that night for one and all. Sunday night Moyer was the chef, 30 pounds of tri tip sounds about right for 33 guys. Day one jackpot went to Les and a halibut, day 2 went to Andy with a WSB (the one and only legal WSB) Day 3 went to Alan with a halibut and Day 4 went to Ed with a halibut. We fished hard and ate like kings.........I killed more cigars than fish, but the winds were kind enough for some to paddle to the Farnsworth on Sunday and we caught quite a few halibut and bass. Thanks for all who made this trip a lot of fun!

Definitely one of the COOLEST Trips Ive ever been on. Thanks again Andy for putting this on. I just cant believe we weren't kicked off the Flyer on the way home

BTW anybody pick up a green tent at the dock? Realized I left it after I got home, Just a single person small deal. Not a huge deal if its gone, just thought id ask.

Nice pics it looks like we missed out being boat bound.. maybe if Brian and I attend next year in the boat again we will have transportation from the boat to the shore so we can more fully enjoythe festivities.

aguachico · 05-19-2009, 10:13 PM
