The Piketoberfest XVIII (2019) crew!

Had a fun day fishing with Paul for the first time together on his boat.





Making a move after the morning fog had lifted.

We've certainly had worse weather at Piketoberfest.






This boat has seen better days.


A few boats in Chapmans.


Paul continuing to work from the bow.


Lunker for the day.

Despite our best efforts, we could only manage a few hits on lures and baits, but we got nothing to the boat. skunk


Thanks to Paul, Kapt. Ron & Hooker Beer for the nice line-up of prizes.







Congrats to BaldPelican for getting it done and catching the lone pike to claim victory!




With no other fish caught. Second and third place prizes were awarded via raffle. Key West Glenn was so happy to be "winning" via this route again. He took home the 2nd place prizes. biggrin

Murph was the lucky 3rd place winner. (sorry Murph, I missed getting a pic of your glorious win).


Glenn going to work again this year with his portable fire pit, complete with wood! Thanks, Glenn!


As usual, a really fun crew to shoot the breeze with after the fishing.

Great to see a visit from FL resident Jeremiah. Also nice to see DEN out on the water with Paul D.


The Pauls having some fun.


Special props to Frank & Scott J., who hold the record for attending the most Piketoberfests since the start in 2002. (Kapt. also holds this distinction but, is home on the mend after his fall.)

Brandon passing the torch. The trophy is in need of some repairs, so Brandon went easy on him. (Kapt., get well and re-enforce this thing for next year!)



And last but not least, the food! Sorry, I didn't get too many pics, but as usual, it's impossible to leave Piktoberfest hungry!





Until next year! beerchug
