I'll be talking with the wife about the date.

Awesome! 

Two questions:
Who do I mail my signed waiver to?

Does this look like the correct boundaries for the Elliot Bay Fishery for the day of the tournament?
Elliot Bay


Thanks for organizing!

Rad! Super pumpy to get some humpies!

Man that sounded gross

Awesome!

I don't think the boundaries are correct.  Will work to get an accurate map done.

Dang, a little out of my range. Unless anyone coming this way wants to pick me up! Then it's game on. 

Rory... Really? I just threw up in my mouth.

With any luck my drysuit will be here by then.

Man that seat in that kayak is so comfortable! I tried it out at next adventure.

Too Late !!

you can now expect someone to have that printed up on a T-Shirt and it will be waiting for you at the Tourney 
In honor of the species, you know it will just have to be a PINK T-Shirt to boot.

(If no Humpies are caught, then other legally caught salmon species will be allowed.)

I am assuming that means if nobody catches a pink/humpy.. Instead of - If I didn't catch a humpy, then I can substitute my coho. At any rate it would also be worth clarifying what happens if nobody catches a pink and say one guy comes in with a king and another with a coho.

I'd imagine Elliott Bay is a zoo during this event. I threw down but I don't know if I am available that weekend.

From the WA state regs:

Elliott Bay Fishery.  Aug. 16-Aug. 31.  Fridays-Sundays only: No min. size. Daily limit 2 (combined) plus 2 additional PINK. Release CHINOOK and CHUM. Bait prohibited and only one single-point barbless hook measuring ½" or less from point to shank may be used.

I'm guessing that if a pink doesn't win it, a coho will.


CORRECT. I HAVE UPDATED INFO ABOVE. THANKS

This is really tempting to go to.  What out of state licensing would I need for this?
