Oh yeah!  Not that it's that big of a deal but I made sure I had that Friday before off from work.  I get a company holiday for my birthday, and can use it anytime in the month of my birthday.  That, luckily, is in June.

Any word yet on the prize list?

Sorry, my attention has been on work lately...  Yeah, I know, my priorities are all messed up....

Anyway, I've updated the initial post with some sponsor info. including but not limited to:
Kokatat     Konezone     Scotty     Yakattack     KayakShed     Hook1     Cabela's

polepole and I are still working more sponsors for more swag so this list is nowhere near final.

It'll be nice seeing you again Zee.  Maybe we'll spend a day hunting the BIG Sturgeon up there.  Are you available to "guide" us?  0:)
Likewise! I'll most likely burn all my free time but depending how long you stay there's lots of fishing options!

We'll leave the Bay Area early Wednesday morning (6/13) and leaving Oregon on Monday morning (6/18).  Don't sweat it if you have a tight schedule.

We'll have waivers at both Chinook Bend and the Check in Booth the morning of the contest.

Speaking of the morning of the contest, what does the parking situation look like at the Bay?  I will find out soon, but would like to think about if I have to lug my PA more than a little the morning of the tourney.  Is there a procedure set for all of us offloading and preparing our yaks at the same time for a set launch time?

Thanks.

There is no starting gun.  People tend to filter out for the 1st couple of hours, depending on how much Ninkasi they had the night before. 

A cart really helps but you can drive down and drop off your yak and gear on the left hand side of the launch.   

The only real 'procedure' is to be courteous at the ramp.  That means not monopolizing the only launching lane for any longer than you have to.  It's really easy to ferry kayaks down to the dock adjacent to the ramp.  This is the prefered method.  If anybody is around, I guarantee they'll help out if asked.

You can park in the main lot but most of the spots are for truck/trailer combos.  Feel free to use them but make sure that you share a spot with another vehicle.  There's also parking at the top of the hill and over in the park.

Somebody needs to start a hookup thread for putting together groups to fish the event.  This really helps to overcome obstacles such as not having a ride/cart/vhf/knowlege etc.

There is also an honor system launch fee station right at the top of the ramp.  I can't remember if it was $3 or $5 bucks. 
Please toss some bills in to help keep the launch open and operational for our enjoyment. 
We use the facilities, launch, parking etc... so we are all obligated to contribute not just the power boaters.

Just for fun, we could put our own individual contributions into envelopes with Kayaker written on the envelope to really show the great folks down there that we
are legit anglers and do contribute.   8)

Good call, thanks for bringing that up.
