It's a new year and a new fishing season. It was time to get an MKF group together and set the M&G locations for the next 11 months. SurfDog setup the Meet and Greet at the pool hall at Dave and Busters in Arundel Mill in Hanover, Maryland. I decided to give Surf a hand by helping with the online posting of the event and along with the paperwork. Surf and I decided that a raffle for a bucket of lures/fishing gadgets would be fun. I had to pick up the bucket at the store, and Surf and I would provide some initial tackle to get it started. We posted that anyone coming to the M&G could donate tackle and fishing gadgets to the bucket. It was not a mandatory. After I read a post from Sun suggesting more raffle prizes, I decided to pickup a second bucket. If we got a lot of participation for the bucket of lures, then Surf and I would use the second bucket as another raffle prize.
Well, the stage was set. A few of us got to D&B early around noon to take care of some administrative discussion for the CBKA Tournament for 2013. A few HOW member with Medicyaker also got together. This also gave us a chance with SurfDog to claim an area in the pool hall for the MKF M&G.
The plan was to meet at 1pm for food, drinks, and to meet others in the kayak fishing sport. So at 1pm kayakers started to arrive. There were many new anglers to the kayak fishing sport and the MKF group that participated in the M&G. By 2pm SurfDog along with the help of On The Fly, worked the group to come up with fishing locations for the 2nd Saturday of every month. We voted on locations that the group seemed interested in. After we came up with the locations, I conducted the raffle. We had a big turnout for the raffle donations, so we ended up with 2 bucket prizes and a cap and shirt combo as another prize. Metroman won the shirt/hat combo. Dogfish won the first bucket and John Veil continued his winning ways and won the MKF blue bucket of goodies. By 3:30 pm, the group started to disbursed. Some made a quick stop into Bass Pro Shop, and others head out to catch the Raven's football game.
It was a great turn out. there was a lot of information and stories exchanged. It was good seeing the many new faces to the group and hopefully we will get to fish with them on the water. Some locations voted on for the M&Gs still need someone to volunteer to be the host for any M&Gs that do not have anyone to organize it. Hopefully in the next few weeks when everyone reads the reschedule, then will volunteer and let SurfDog know so he can add them to the schedule.
