We'll entertain questions and comments about the 2016 Oregon Rockfish Classic in this thread.

Last year the PB fleet was within reach, knocking the crap out of silvers.  If I decide that I'm happy with my catch for the tournament and want to go out to join them fishing for salmon, beyond 100 ft, is that ok?  I seriously considered it last year.  I won't be rock fishing, I'll be trolling for salmon.

Thanks.

Thanks Crash, that's a great question.  If you are registered to fish the tournament you will be required to follow all tournament rules during tournament hours, including the boundaries.  With this many kayakers in the water we just need to be sure no one wanders off.

Does the shuttle cost additional money or is it included in the registration fee?

Next Adventure is not supplying a shuttle this year.  We highly recommend car pooling.

One of the concerns of the safety boaters was the shear size of the fishing grounds.   We're trying to keep things a bit smaller and more
manageable.

We will have multiple check ourt personnel down at the harbor parking lot in the morning.  You can check out as soon as you are suited up with all of your safety equipment.

The safety inspection will be done by a tournament organizer. If you do not have ALL the required equipment you will not be fishing in the tournament regardless of whether or not you paid.  But, since it is all laid out in the rules before you purchase your ticket, there shouldn't be any issues. These rules are required for insurance purposes. In years past we have had some skirt the rules and nothing happened. This has been a thorn in the side for many of those that followed the rules and to the organizers.

It happens when you check out in the morning.

We will try to figure that one out quickly.

Sound like we have someone itching to volunteer to be a border patrol. ;) We would welcome the help. There will be safety boats out and about as well as safety paddlers. Let's not make it too complicated.  :)

How much beer did it take to come up with these clearly laid rules and prize allocations?

Thank you to all the organizers for the hard work putting this together.

Let's all remember these volunteers put in many hours of their own time to make this event happen.

Regarding the Hobie Prize and trip to Amsterdam, that was a special one time Hobie thing in 2014. 

Registration was with Next Adventure at the beginning of the year, but that was jumping the gun and we had them take it down and refund people until we had things better organized.   They kindly agreed to run registration again for us. 

I could run the registration through PayPal, but there are tax implications and I already deal with enough of that with the much smaller income we have from the AOTY.

rules say must complete safety inspection. u say tournament organizer will be doing it.... i still say where and when??.... AND what is that going to entail? geezuz, less than a month away too. when is raffle prize list going to be up?



"But, since it is all laid out in the rules before you purchase your ticket, there shouldn't be any issues".

ummm no, its not all laid out.  the questions i asked were not difficult but has yet to be answered. that is sad that my question "who does the safety inspection and when and where?" even needed to be asked..... along with signing the liability form.
