Report and pics of "Potluck, BBQ and Casting games!" Dana Pt

Mark & gang put on one helluva good time and some great weather to boot!

Here are the pics my wife and I took:


I brought some of my nets that I am currently building, and even did a lil woodworking on-site since I am running behind a bit.

We had a great greenbelt area that gave us plenty of room to cast.

The casting games were a blast. Lotsa fun and thanks Doc for mentoring and scoring us.

The passerby who joined us. Cool dude, (Sorry-I forgot his name) Eric n Flybob talking in the b/g.

This was a fun day, and the best part, for those who left early, was the food at the end! Pulled Pork, BBQ beans, dutch oven Mac n Cheese, too much goodness to remember, OH, and Marie Callendars pies! Ok, so the tons of rods n reels to cast, and the free fly tying stuff wasn't too bad either. Plus, it was great to meet some other Addicts for the first time.
Wow, Thanks again Mark-It was a HUGE success!

Great shots Greg, nice meeting you too, love the nets, told my wife about them and some of your cool techniques, especially the powdered brass inlay! :rockon:

by the way, sorry about the line on the Winston, after watching how it performed on the short, or lack of performance, I have decided to line up to 6wt!

Wow! That event looks like a blast. I'd give up a day on the water to do something that fun.

Looks like you guys had a great time even though I wasn't there. :lol: Sorry we couldn't make it but my brother and his family were in town and we met them for lunch and had a good time. I never get to see them because he works when I'm off.

We'll male the next one for sure.
