Weekend Warrior Fishing Tournament

Fished in the MDRA Weekend Warrior Jackpot Tournament and Chili Cook Off.

I'm pleased to say I had a great team 4 of easy going fishing friends.  3 are newer members of MDRA.  For a total of 5 fishermen on board if you count me, the captain.  Yep I even get to wet a line.

Darrell was the anchor man who had me down to get bait the day before.  And has an eye on a spot we wanted to work hard.  He has been watching the area and the birds diving on bait in that spot for some time.  John S. was the ace in the hole and cook.  Penelope, now a second year member, also did a bit of cooking to add some spice to the chili.  Jose G. the newest member of the MDRA Board of Directors was also on board to round us out.

Here we are picking up a bit more bait to make sure we have plenty.

It was a steller day.  Blue sky and smooth water.  Also comfortable to fish in.  Not too hot.

Here is a nice view we had in the harbor.  The Coast Guard Cutter was out.  The Betty-O was moving to go pick up her passengers for the day.  The sun was up and the Harbor was ALIVE!



Fish Wish Granted:  I/We had a great day on the water with some fun people.  All happy crew!
We even got half the jackpot for our Chili contribution!  

Sincerely,
Keith L.
