It would help if everyone post up their campsites when they book them so we can try and get sites in close proximity.The tent camping area is a group site for us so proximity won't be a problem. But those planning on staying in their RV's should mention they want a space near our group spot.

Those of us that are bringing RV's, can we still use the tent group site with ya'll? My rig is fully self contained to manage off the grid for at least a week, so I'm good on unlevel, no hook up kinda areas. 8)

Also, what's there to catch in the river by the campground?

I'd give Chinook Bend a call for that. They're very flexible.
As for in river fisheries there may be an in river coho quota. I'll know more in the next couple weeks.

But only if it can be the ORC HQ for tournament sign in on Sat. ;)
I think it was $15/night.Yep, as written in the first post.
I got a small 18 foot travel trailer now, the squarestream is but a distant memory, proof that being cool does not out weigh comfort and practicality... :P
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but can fish from this tournament also count towards AOTY ?
Cool, now could you write up a "rockfish for dummies" article?'
;)
I can handle that!
Now if I could get my hand on one of those $3000 imaging sonars to find structure....

Sure. 2 ounce leadhead, motor oil worm. Drop to bottom and jig it. Catch fish. Lather, rinse, repeat.

You make it sound so difficult.... ;
I figure if yer not getting snagged up and losing a jig or three, your in the wrong spot.

Or you may be in crab/flounder territory. I wish we could use two rods in the ocean just for the ability to hunt flounder. Figure two rigups with bait slightly different than each other, dropped off either side of the yak for a drift may score some flatties.
The ladies want to know if there is good beach access at Depoe Bay.

No beach access at Depoe Bay.
They'd have to settle for Fogarty Creek to the north (beautiful stretch of beach) or Otter Rock to the South.
Ok, noted. How is the river fishing at the campground?
Anyone still open to splitting a campsite or carpooling from Seattle/vicinity? I'm planning on heading down either Thursday or Friday and returning Sunday (departing mid-morning). I have enough room for 1 additional kayak on my rack and your gear.

While looking for a room in Depoe I came across the web cam on the bridge. Wow, I would only hope for that on Sat! Just saw the 9:04pm view. Sweeet cam!

I believe Astoria Scuba has the grand prize covered (at least that's what Spot said in a previous post). Any details Spot?
The second place prize once again is a fine paddle donated by our friends at Outdoor Play.
I don't know if we have a donor for third place or whether we're buying that from the entry fees.

That's surprising.. with all the business from this site that gets sent in the direction of your bosses shop you would think it would be in his best interest to have a shop rep. at a local event. Maybe next year ;D

Don't you get "sick time"? Just say your eyes hurt, and you can't see yourself coming into work.
Or...just tell them that you are working remotely next weekend. ;)
Pelagic, I'll bet NANOOK is worried that you'll challange him to a boat race or something. :boxing:

wow I think the boss himself is going to cover my shift. reserving now.
If I can pull this off, it will be my FIRST kayak adventure!!!! It sounds like a blast. Is there any chance someone could give me a call (541) 271-1929 and fill me in on what to expect, is it Sat only Sunday only or Sat and Sun? I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully get everything finalized.

ppssssssssttttttt, INSAYN, the correct medical term is Anal Glaucoma.... when you cant see your ass going into work that day....
Just a couple questions...
Will this be a group launch or can we start when we feel like it?
Figuring no backup venue, is Depoe Bay the only area we can fish?
Do you have to be a NWKA member or is the tournament open to anyone?
Really glad to hear the forcast is agreeable. Looking forward to getting out on the ocean and having some fun. See you there - Alan
I do say, however, that a shotgun start out of DB would be news worthy...
wait, i thot we agreed last year to leave the shotguns at home?? >:D ;D
I'm going to have to disagree with the shotgun start. That will create one hell-uv-a bottleneck in my opinion.
Speaking of leaving the shotgun at home - I don't have a shotgun, but Oregon is an open carry state right?

Just a couple questions...Contestants can launch whenever they feel like it as long as they've signed their waver.
Will this be a group launch or can we start when we feel like it?
Figuring no backup venue, is Depoe Bay the only area we can fish?Launching and landing will be restricted to Depoe Bay unless an alternate venue is required. You can fish where every you want as long as you can paddle/peddle there and back before 3:30PM. At this point, the alternate venue would be The Fingers of the South Jetty in Newport and the launch time would coincide with low slack. If the forecasts deteriorate, I'll elaborate on this.
Do you have to be a NWKA member or is the tournament open to anyone?Anyone who's paid the entry fee and signed the waiver will be allowed to participate.
Speaking of leaving the shotgun at home - I don't have a shotgun, but Oregon is an open carry state right?
yes Oregon is an "Open Carry" state. You are allowed ((except a few cities who have passed ordinances (often called loaded weapon ordinaces), and public buildings etc.etc.)) to carry a loaded weapon in plain sight, think holster ala John Wayne. If you conceal it on your person or in your vehicle you must have a concealed carry permit. Or be participating in the situation The Nothing stated above.
Springfield XDm 3.8" in .40 S&W
I live in South Tacoma - you ever notice how often Pierce County is on "Cops" ?
In the last year, there was a drive-by literally 1 block away from my house, two guys shot an armored car driver in a Wal-mart, and those 4 Lakewood cops were shot 2 miles from my house. Neat huh?
Add that in with too many close calls in Afghanistan, and packing is pretty much a neccessity in my mind.
:lurk: Roy, you realize this is a public forum, right? :hiding:

...Or are you setting a tweaker trap? (http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/2gunsfiring_v1.gif)
I did, but the tweakers here aren't falling for it.
I think it looks too scary to walk back to my house at night.
Hasn't stopped the Census Bureau from harassing me.... :-\

Unless they're counting dogs this year, it shouldn't take them long to count to ..... 1 ???
I can't seem to get the online registration payment to work. Can I give you guys cash at Chinook Bend this eve?

Good luck you all. Stay safe and have fun. I really wanted to be there, but about 30 (+ a few) years ago a girl was born on the same day of the month as the 2010 ORC. We both grew up, I met and married her and I found out recently that Father's Day weekend does not trump her birthday, nor the plans we had made. Ah well, there is always next year. :-\yup, doesn't trump an anniversary either (why i'm not there)
...Or are you setting a tweaker trap? (http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/2gunsfiring_v1.gif)exactly what i was thinking
Good press guys:

Hope everyone caught some monsters while I was working!
Good event! Talked with the Harbor Master a few days before and he did not even know it was going on....
How about a rock fish classic off the beach next year!
...not everyone is sufficient in beach launches and landings and we'd like to be as inclusive as possible.
I was just thinking that the fishing is alot better a greater distance from where the fishing pressure is heavy. The beauty of a kayak is you aren't spending $200 to run 20 miles to good fishing....just paddle out anywhere you see a boil....that is the beauty of the kayak.
