Very nice campground and although the location isn't the best, it was easy to just launch from other ramps.


Nice to meet you too Steve and my pleasure providing a “home base”! Yeah, it was a side of Ben none of us has seen, very entertaining (in a good way Ben!). That’s what 40GRIT will do for ya!

Yes Garey, what are the odds? If you get up the SF way let me know and we can get out in the bay and you can show me some ocean fishing techniques. Even if you and the Mrs. are passing through you could stop by for a visit and adult beverages!


Thanks Denny, will definitely do that and thanks for the invitation. Did you ask your wife about knowing the Lopes?

I did, before her time. I need to ask my Mother and Father in law, they seem to have known everyone there from “back in the day”. I’ll let you know!

That is hilarious. I figured the group could use an EZ-UP to keep the rain off. It worked well. Wal Mart had it. If I was Speechless, it was because I enjoy observing good friends having fun. The Cinnamon 40Grit was excellent just as the regular high octane 40Grit is. I wish we had a Gopro running for the Campfire stories because I agree with you NCSteve it was really great. Denny says more for next time. I am sure it won't go to waste. It makes for great campfire chatter.

Thought I’d add my pics and post to the ones that already have posted and covered the event. It was a great time with great friends and a great turn out. Fishing and weather not so great, but they weren’t the only reasons we were there, it was the opportunity to meet fellow stagers and the camaraderie and friendships that developed.

More boats were there this year, so all had opportunities to get out, thanks to all that brought their boats (thanks Ben and Steve for having me aboard!). Rhyno’s boat was the most unique, he rebuilt it himself and did a fantastic job of it using a combination of ingenuity, flair and just plain old sweat equity. Ryan, you really should post before and after pics with the explanations of the materials you used and sourced, and the home made design features, other stagers would appreciate it, seek and benefit from your ideas and craftsmanship. I was totally impressed.

I don’t have any fish pics as I didn’t catch any, but I do have a few to share of the wildlife and camp. I’m so glad that everyone utilizes “camp 40GRIT” as a home base, it provides me the opportunity to really get to know all and share I and my wife’s mobile vacation retirement home that is currently under utilized as she has yet to retire.

My thanks to Ryan for planning, organizing and heading up this years MnG! Excellent job Brother, so appreciated, love the t-shirt and the food was perfect. A lot of effort on your part!

On a side note, when I returned home my wife informed me that we were hosting a “gender reveal” party that evening for our son and daughter in law——— we’re getting another granddaughter!!!! So it was another eventful day for me.

Looking forward to next years!!
