2014 Oregon Rockfish Classic
12th July, 2014
Depoe Bay, Oregon


 

Get ready for the biggest kayak fishing tournament the Pacific Northwest has ever seen!!

Ladies and gentlemen, the stakes have never been higher.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the 2014 ORC has been chosen as a Hobie Worlds Qualifying event!!
In fact, the 2014 ORC is the only Hobie Worlds qualifying event on the west coast this year!

You can guess what this means for the grand prize.  In addition to a shiny new Hobie Fishing kayak, the winner of this tournament secures a spot to compete in the Hobie Fishing Worlds Tournament in Amsterdam this fall!!

****************IMPORTANT UPDATE********************

This year we are needing to manage the tournament roster differently for the ORC. 

The roster for the 2014 ORC will be limited to 120 competitors.

This was a decision made by the group of guys taking on the organization of this years tournament.  The main reasons for this decision are: 1) The Depoe Bay Harbor has a limit to the amount of traffic of fishing craft that it can safely accommodate.  2) Parking in the area around the harbor is limited. 3) A limit to the number of competitors makes the logistics of the tournament much more easy to arrange and manage. 

This tournament has grown steadily over the years but in previous years the number of competitors hasn't been more than 85 so the limit of 120 still allows room for growth and will hopefully be enough to accommodate the additional competitors that may attend due to this tournament being the only West Coast Hobie Worlds Qualifying event.

We must keep in mind that we are not the only group of fishermen that will be planning on using the Depoe Bay Harbor that day.  It is reasonable to assume that power boaters may be targeting off-shore tuna, ocean salmon, and possibly halibut out of Depoe Bay so we must try to leave room for them too.

Finally, we will not be posting a list of competitors or the current number of competitors that are currently signed up for the tournament.  As you can probably guess, this is our tough-love way of encouraging people to sign up early instead of waiting until the last week before the tournament to make the commitment.
