It would help if everyone post up their campsites when they book them so we can try and get sites in close proximity.

The Chinook Bend RV Resort sounds like a nice place, and only 11 miles from Depoe Bay. Lets hope the ocean is more cooperative than last year!

I tried calling them and ended up sending an email. Hopefully I can get reservations tomorrow!

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.

BTW Take a minute to check out the Chinook Bend site. Their amenities are great w/ a general store (that includes some fishing tackle), bait, fish cleaning stations, restaurant, and kayak or boat rental. The Resort is right on the river so if you don't mind the paddle (or just drive the yak) downriver 3 miles in the Siletz Bay there's crabbing.

Also we'll also be having our potluck and awards ceremony indoors in The Big Red Barn.

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?  Will this be a possible backup venue location, as we already know the ocean is completely predictable?

Nice choice of location!  I still like the mojo of our state parks but the indoor space/fish cleaning station/store/restaurant etc. is a great addition to have, and broadens the comfort level for those bringing wives/kids etc.  So those of us tenting it just show up and claim a piece of ground and pay?  No need to reserve a spot or?  Buddy of mine has a house in town I could use but its not the same as bivouacking with the plastic navy! ;D

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.

Hey on the potluck is there any kinda deal like last name beginning A through whatever letter bring a salad or appetizer, whatever letter to Z bring a desert type thing? Or are we just cooking to impress the judges (admins & mods)? I know I'm thinking kind of far ahead, but in this group I know I'm not the only obsessive planner. :-)

Feel free to start the ORC food thread. It Works out who will be bringing what and generally gives everyone a chance to bring what they like to make.

PPaddler get your reservation in ASAP! ;) That goes for everyone too. If you get turned away that night all I can say is I told ya so.

For those who haven't fished Depoe Bay before or those who want to re-familiarize themselves with the area I'll be happy to host a few Pre-Tournament events.

I just got word that Chinook Bend has a dedicated ODFW computer which means that you can purchase OR fishing licenses on site. Also  they rent crab rings and have bait for those who don't have crab gear and want to take advantage of the crabbing at Siletz Bay.

This should be a cool event, Hope the Ocean cooperates and i got the bucks...I got a spot reserved, they don't assign spots at the time you reserve for some reason but i asked to be as close to the tent site as possible. There is a small chance that i will not be able to make it as time gets closer, if there is someone riding the fence about going, hope they can swoop this spot if  i cancel..

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

Of course they count toward the AOTY.   ;D

Any target fish that is legally caught in any of the participating states counts toward your AOTY ranking.

That's what the lead is for.

If you feel sand when the lead hits the bottom, you're not on structure. 
If you feel a hard surface, your'e on structure.  Keep jigging.  Mr. Ling should be along soon.  ;D

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.

They'd have to settle for Fogarty Creek to the north (beautiful stretch of beach) or Otter Rock to the South.

The very north end of Beverly Beach (Otter Rock as spot said) is an awesome beach to hang out on.

The second place prize once again is a fine paddle donated by our friends at Outdoor Play.

Which VHF channel is going to be used for trash talk during the contest?

I'm not going to be the one doing the gloating, but I find being cajoled by those who engage in bombast and general tomfoolery a splendid pastime indeed.  ::)

If I know what channel ahead of time I won't be sitting on the ramp (morning of) trying to remember what the manual said about adding channels to scanning.

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

Or...just tell them that you are working remotely next weekend.   ;)

That's a very good point. If any of them at your shop were serious about attracting the business of the kayak fishing community, THEY would be paying your entry fees to compete and plug the logo a bit, let alone just giving you the time off to go.

I was surprised myself. the problem is we don't have any other staff to cover my absense. I have one person to cover my Friday, but everyone else is already working...9xclasses/4xtours/3xshops on Saturday.

If I can find someone to cover Sat, I'll be there. I just can't think of who it would be.

The boss wants me to do it, but it's a rock and a hard place thing.

With the sweet February weather we've had until today, sales have been poor. I kind of understand them wanting to make up the losses in the coming weeks.

well right now I fish from the surf specific sea kayak, but only because I'm waiting for the touring specific sea kayak to arrive. The touring one is what I've intended as my main fishing yak and it's got less rocker and longer waterline and is quicker off the line.

the surf one is great to fish from, but it sucks loaded to 400lbs paddling in 3-5ft seas, 2kts current, and 25kts wind. stable and agile, but all the rocker makes it sloooooooow.

First off, welcome to NWKA!

I assume you've read all of the ORC2010 related threads?  Are you completely new to kayak fishing or just new to us?  Are you planning on camping or just showing up for the event.  The event is Saturday although many of us will be there the whole weekend at the campsite.  If you plan on signing up make sure and do so prior to the event.

Welcome to the site! Great to see new members getting involved and wanting to get into the thick of it!

Depoe Bay isn't a place I would personally recommend for someone's first ever kayak fishing outing, unless of course you've spent a lot of time kayaking on the ocean or fishing on the ocean from a power boat or know the area well already. But hey, as previously mentioned(in one of the handful of threads on the ORC) you're your own person and can do what you want. I will ask though that you make sure you have all the requisite safety gear necessary for a trip out on the salt. Please reference the safety thread on this forum if you haven't already as it will answer most if not all of your questions. There's a lot to learn and not enough time to learn it if you plan on making it.

I just got work from Brian "Alkasazi" that Outdoor Play has shipped me the second place prize paddle.   This is the third year in a row that Outdoor Play has put up a sweet kayak paddle for an ORC prize.   According to the tracking email  I just got, it's an Aqua Bound Swell Plus (carbon/fiberglass) paddle.  I imagine that's an upgrade for most of us here.

Here's the URL to check it out on the Outdoor Play site.

You can launch whenever you want, Just have to sign the waiver by 7:00 AM and make the check-in which i assume is still 3:30?

For the tournament as it is now. yes, unless theres a salty subsitute should the conditions not cooperate

Don't think you would have to be a member, just have to pay with the paypal link on the site and sign the waiver

This is just from what i assumed, so i could be totally wrong...

See you up there Alan, hopefully.

I agree... Much easier for a PB to dodge a couple yaks at a time over an extended launch time, rather than 30 all in the hole at once. 

Besides, I don't want to have to stand around waiting for folks to get their "ducks in a row" anymore than they would want to have to hurry to catch up with me.

my understanding, however, if you're actively going to a fishing location, actively fishing, or returning from fishing, you can legally conceal & carry. Provided you have a valid fishing license and rockfish identification certificate


edit:
 ah, yes, here it is:

166.250 Unlawful possession of firearms. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section or ORS 166.260, 166.270, 166.274, 166.291, 166.292 or 166.410 to 166.470, a person commits the crime of unlawful possession of a firearm if the person knowingly:
(a) Carries any firearm concealed upon the person;
( b ) Possesses a handgun that is concealed and readily accessible to the person within any vehicle; or
( c ) Possesses a firearm and:
(A) Is under 18 years of age;


166.260 Persons not affected by ORS 166.250. (1) ORS 166.250 does not apply to or affect:
(h) A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 and 166.292 to carry a concealed handgun.
( b ) Licensed hunters or fishermen while engaged in hunting or fishing, or while going to or returning from a hunting or fishing expedition.

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.

Contestants can launch whenever they feel like it as long as they've signed their waver.

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.

Yep, PP's right. I forgot all about that. but theres so many places you can't open carry it just seems easier to get a concealed permit and just conceal the gun. Here's a summary of Oregon Open carry laws:

Summary
Oregon is a traditional open carry state. However, their preemption statute only covers concealed handgun license holders from city or county passed bans against loaded firearms in public places. To our knowledge, only the cities of Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, and Independence have passed loaded firearms bans encompassing all public places, and other cities have passed bans specific to Parks. Also, all "public buildings" are also off limits throughout the entire state unless you have a concealed handgun license.

I only ask cause it's gonna be in the car.  Sounds like I should put it in the trunk once I reach Oregon.

what you bringing? Good idea on putting it in the trunk, save the confusion and a spendy ticket.

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.

Yikes, That sucks. I'd be armed to the teeth, I mean, more then i am now.  ;)
 
I lock my house doors at night, but that's about it. Leave my keys and wallet in my truck all the time unlocked. Leave stuff out. My place is set back from the road a bit.

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.... :-\

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.   :-\

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!

That's odd, I was under the impression that both the harbor master and the coast guard had been informed well ahead of the event.

Holding the event off the beach is fine, if the weather cooperates. We did this in 2008 out of Pacific City and everything went pretty well.  However, not everyone is sufficient in beach launches and landings and we'd like to be as inclusive as possible.

Lets definitely keep it like this please.  I could see some place with a jetty being conducive to a beach and protected launch (Westport maybe?).  Depoe bay was so great because the launch was easy, AND, was a quick, short paddle back to safety if got sick.   ;)

I'm with Lee on this one, I'd love to see it at the same place next year.  For us Washingtonians that don't see the surf all but once a year at the ORC I'd hate for us to drive 300 miles only to have our day end before it even began with a surf launch huli and subsequent yard sale when a great launch like Depoe Bay exists.  No guarantee of not huli'ing but at least the odds are better for a baseline skill level.

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.

Shh...do you really want 30+ guys fishing your favorite remote beach launch?  The fishing was just fine at Depoe, the launch was easy, and the facilities are hard to beat.  For a tournament these things out weigh finding the best fishing location possible.  Now, if you ever want to show me some of your launches just send me a PM.  :)

Yeah that was me.  I believe bsteves took a picture or two of me with it at the awards ceremony.  Otherwise, I can do one up really quick.  It was very nice of them to donate the prize - it'll be put to good use.
