Oregon Rockfish Classic 2025

Ill be at Depoe Sunday.  Is anyone planning on launching at Fogarty tournament day?

I believe it has been extended to the north end of Fogarty Beach.

I can see one kayak out by the buoy straight out from Depoe right now. Good luck!

This is from the rules from June 30th.  Looks like 2 boundaries are listed but not sure which one is right.

How did the ORC wind up? Weather and ocean looked pretty good.

This did take place on the 26th, right? Would love to know how it went.......

It really wasn’t bad.  I was taking a photo then switching to video.  Really, all I needed was a video that I could show the identifier then the fish then the release.  Even the process of “weigh in” wasn’t bad.  It was fun just to have a different format.

I was worried about the video thing too, but it turned out to be really easy.  Not having to get the fish on a board to measure meant you just held it, took a photo, then switched to video and dropped it.  Had a good sized Cabezon and the same process worked.  Smaller ling were grabbed by the neck, a big one wold probably involve a pair of fish grips
