draw your partner derby

[early bird]

Have the pairings been posted yet or are you guys still looking through foggy eyes after a late night at Franny O's?

[fishmaster176]

Who knows. Maybe it's the year for the Fishingmachine to be rewarded for taking a chance with a rookie (Fishmaster176). Beginners luck?

[fishmaster176]

I guess I'll be dry docked tomorrow. My partner has decided that the weather is more than he cares to battle against. I respect that decision completely and will probably go out when the weather is better.
I'd still like to head down for the tailgater after the fleet returns. I have a small grill and a 10 x 10 canopy. Is the gathering also at the Converse Bay launch? I'm sure it's written somewhere, but it's been a long day.

Good luck to all! Wish I could be out there............

good luck to all you fishing DYP today. Be safe out there I will be missing it and wishing every minute I was out on the pond while I'm at work. Post some pics later please would like to see some silver on here.

Congratulations to Cowboy and Reelax! The BBQ was outstanding and well attended by those who fished and others that came down to tail gate and usher in the new DYP winning team! Thanks to Deano for another superb job!

Congrats to Reelax and Cowboy for winning the 2014 DYP. Huge THANKS to Dean (Homewrecker) for organizing this outstanding event. Though I didn't get out on the water, I was glad to be a part of the "after tourney" gathering. The smiles were plenty and the food was great. No one complained of sunburn or frostbite. For April, that's called nice weather. Thanks Ron and Reelax for the great pics and video. Next year, I'll have to get my boat ready for an earlier start. May just won't work anymore.
Time to mess up the lawn and uncover the boat.

Another great DYP. Thanks a lot Dean for another superb organization.
Congrats Reelax and Cowboy for your win.

Great food, great prices, great friends. You can't ask for better.

great pics and glad everyone had a good time on the pond. Miss not being there but work came first that overtime money will be well spent on more tackle for salmon fishing.
