Yeah......Cinco de Kayako. Got a new 2012 Ride 135 ordered that's supposed to be in by the end of next week. Even if it's late, I should certainly be able to make May 5th no problemo.

Where's Whalon Lake?

by **WaterGuy** » Mar Sat 24, 2012 6:00 pm

by **Bad Water Bill** » Mar Thu 29, 2012 4:13 pm

Sounds like fun. Now If this OLD man can just remember the date and what I am supposed to do that day I just might see youall there.

by **Hoffman** » Mar Thu 29, 2012 7:38 pm

I grew up just a couple blocks from little Mexico so I'm always down for Cinco de kayako.

We need a couple full size grills I won't have the room to bring mine

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 7:13 am

Gonna be close by this am so might swing by for walking tour with the fly rod.....

by **choupiquer** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 9:41 am

He's only RybaYak on the yak threads. ConSolo is a bank fisherman.

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 5:09 pm

You guys are sure this is the place? low water it looks like. and no fishies.... the river looks better...
I think I'll stay 45 miles closer to home or a 100 miles the other way....

by **choupiquer** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 6:20 pm

Red, its full of greenies. Go get you some. :moresarcasm:

by **Steve** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 7:17 pm

The guys fishing said it was bad all spring, boats were doing nothing...Signs are neat first one is boating regs followed by fishing regs that starts with all watercraft are prohibited. I love the city ....

by **Bad Water Bill** » Apr Tue 03, 2012 10:28 pm

2 quick questions.

What do you call a deep pond? The map says the depth varies up to 25'. That is deep enough to me.

So can we put our floating palaces in the pond or not?

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Wed 04, 2012 2:52 am

royce road, dog park, people of walmart fishing, boat ramps, backed in parkimg, love in the air? I know it wasn't Busse.

by **JasonN** » Apr Wed 04, 2012 3:57 pm

Indeed this thread is getting polluted with a lot of nonsense.

Our kayak/fishing/bbq will be on May 5th at Whalon Lake. All who would like to attend are welcome to do so. Those who wish not to attend are free to not attend.

by **Hoffman** » Apr Wed 04, 2012 4:42 pm

Red,

the officer that checked our licenses last year said they have stings to keep the reverse parkers at bay. “Hey rook we have a very important assignment for you.”

Who is bringing their grill?

No not that grill

This kind of grill, Bang!

by **tmoney** » Apr Wed 04, 2012 11:03 pm

I don't have a grill to bring, but I can bring something to put on it

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Fri 06, 2012 4:39 am

Just the facts.... maybe if I come up I'll bring the new ride.

http://www.utahtrikes.com/RECENTTRIKE-0 ... Trail.html

btw this is my bike.

by **Osprey** » Apr Sun 08, 2012 7:23 pm

I have already committed to bringing mine... Grill that is. What about food let's talk about who is bringing what.

by **WaterGuy** » Apr Sun 08, 2012 8:10 pm

There's a good meat market up by my place in Wisconsin that has some killer brats...i'll bring some of those.

As far as a grill goes, mine is too big to bring as well.

by **Osprey** » Apr Sun 08, 2012 9:39 pm

That sounds good, I can bring a salad of some sort or maybe I'll grill some vegies but we WILL need another grill for that.

by **Hoffman** » Apr Mon 09, 2012 8:45 am

I plan to bring:
Grandma Hoffman's Pickled Shrimp
ABTs
Being that it is Chinco De Kayako I may bring some arrachera. I usually make pico de gallo and Gaucamole to accompany the steak but this outing it will be served as meaty finger food.

The arracherra will depend on if I have time to get out to Mid-town. The super Mercado out there has quality butchers that trim, butterfly and tenderize this cut properly. Oh and if there is more then one grill.

by **catchafew** » Apr Mon 09, 2012 11:02 pm

They have two grills (~24"x18") by the shelter. We just need a wire bush to clean them up but they're in good shape or perhaps some tin foil over the grates. Problem is if it starts raining we're screwed unless we do something cheesy and cover the top of the grill with some sheet metal to keep the coals dry. I imagine we'll have to have some "changing of the guards" at the grill stations so nobody bogarts them from us if we're all on the water fishing at the same time :think:

by **Osprey** » Apr Tue 10, 2012 7:40 am

Thanks for the info catchafew, I'm in for a wire brush a bag of charcoal and my favorite fire starter.

by **Hoffman** » Apr Tue 10, 2012 9:13 am

if the yak sells I will bring my grill.

by **mmvikes** » Apr Tue 10, 2012 8:00 pm

Just ordered a Ride 115. First kayak for me. Should be here by then. I am hoping to make it. I'm sure I will need plenty of pointers on both safely fishing from a yak and how to outfit it.

by **Osprey** » Apr Wed 11, 2012 10:26 pm

Let me add to that list: Darth Wader?

by **FishinMatt** » Apr Wed 11, 2012 10:43 pm

I would be all over this if it was not opening weekend in Cheeseland. The devil on my shoulder keeps telling me to buy Nathan's yak.

by **catchafew** » Apr Wed 11, 2012 10:53 pm

I'm in.

by **Hoffman** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 8:17 am

So here is what I’m bringing:
Grill, couple grill tools, extra bag of charcoal, Chimney starter
Cooler, ice, sixer
ABTs
Pickled shrimp
arrechera ?
and my gleaming personality... BANG!

by **JasonN** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 8:43 am

I will be there, new kayak and all. God willing.

by **tmoney** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 5:11 pm

I'll bring some more brats/buns

This is likely to be the highlight of the day.

by **choupiquer** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 6:22 pm

Hell, I may fly up just for the home made guacamole.

They got any fish left in the Fox?

by **Steve** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 7:00 pm

I might be able to bring two kayaks and will let whomever cruise.

by **Darth Wader** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 8:00 pm

Osp offered to let me use his canoe but I'm not so sure I'm keen on being the odd man out on the nue! :moresarcasm:

by **Darth Wader** » Apr Thu 12, 2012 10:10 pm

I might be down for that then...if Steve don't mind=)

by **catchafew** » Apr Fri 13, 2012 2:24 pm

I could have another canoe available but we'll have to make arrangements before saturday as I can't fit them both on my ride. Send me a PM if need be.

by **tmoney** » Apr Fri 13, 2012 2:51 pm

Con Solo wrote:(do they have Mexican brats?)

I will investigate this.

by **tmoney** » Apr Fri 13, 2012 3:36 pm

Well played, Bob. Now that I think about it, Whole Foods has some awesome Chorizo Sausages that I like to grill. I'll have to see if they have them prior to the event.

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Fri 13, 2012 7:23 pm

Meijers makes a mean chorizo. Little goes long way firing up the morning eggs

by **FishinMatt** » Apr Fri 13, 2012 10:47 pm

Con, Wi gamefish opener be that weekend. No go for me.

by **WaterGuy** » Apr Sun 15, 2012 6:51 pm

I'll also bring buns, condiments, and some suerkraut. This thing is starting to sound pretty awesome.

by **Addicted2Yakkin** » Apr Mon 16, 2012 10:43 am

We looking to make this more of a morning, mid day, our evening event? already have something planned for that evening but this sounds like it'll be a ton of fun. Just gotta work out a few kinks.

by **Steve** » Apr Mon 16, 2012 11:40 am

DAMMIT!
GOD DAM COMMUNION ON 5/5!!! Foiled at every turn!!!!

I was TOTALLY going to bring my buns too..

by **jwojo2** » Apr Mon 16, 2012 12:21 pm

Yeah, thought I was going to be able to make it this year, but alas it turns out I've got a family function...... :cry:
