Format review for GS8:

AOTD goes to highest scoring angler with points per inch for salmon, halibut, lingcod (5 points/inch each), rockfish and cabs (7 points/inch) and greenling (11 I think...).  AOTD receives a new Malibu X-Caliber fishing kayak.

C&R bonus with photo on trough containing element to be announced Friday evening before the tourney.  Bonus only awarded if you didn't keep a bigger fish of that species (honor system).  Bonus equals one point per inch of the released fish.  Release the 30" lingcod that was your largest of the day, get the required photo with element, get 150 points at 5 points/inch PLUS 30 bonus points.

SOTD - Sportsman of the Day has the highest C&R-only score (CAN keep salmon and/or halibut as there are no C&R bonuses for those species).  SOTD gets a new Kokatat drysuit.

Longest lingcod, either measured at check-in or clearly represented in the photo with element, receives a Wilderness Systems T140.

AOTD can be SOTD, but AOTD cannot win longest lingcod -  it's one or the other.

Longest lingcod CAN win SOTD.

Other prizes/donated art/gear...etc. go in a silent auction to be held at the potluck, and all proceeds go to HOW and PIF - two charitable groups well represented within NCKA.

Trophies:  10" abalone with custom artsy 'tag' for AOTD, SOTD, Longest Lingcod and maybe big salmon.  Redwood Trophy Trough to AOTD.  Other custom work TBA.

The main point of Gimme Shelter:  gather with good friends to enjoy a spectacular section of the Nor Cal coast.

 

Redwood Trophy Troughs have gone to AOTDs since GS5.

This one is just big enough to measure the largest pac hali caught at GS.

Let's fill it up.

I'm getting excited! Another great job on the contest & trophy redwood hog trough!
My darlin' wife got me a GoPro Black 3+ for my b.d. -- woohoo! Gettin' ready to rock 'n roll!

I know of at least 2 more people from our area that will be coming. What's the team rules gonna be? NCKA link for GS8 teams? Would 6 per team be ok? Sweet prizes for front running teams last year!

Paul - Can't wait to see you sporting that GoPro Black.   

The team aspect was originally made part of the event for safety reasons.  Then a few years back one of our club members volunteered to keep team scores.  He's had some changes and challenges and isn't going to be able to attend (to my knowledge), and I don't have anyone keeping team scores as of now.  I'll bring it up once registration is closed and see if I can get someone to step up and cover that aspect.

Team NinWKAsi was it?  It was well represented and I'm sure will be again.

For any of you onlookers wondering about Shelter Cove, it's more like Oregon and Washington than the rest of California.  Bring your NWKA lingcod, rockfish, halibut and salmon skills down here and show how it's done!

Here's the ab dive setup w/ a XS Scuba Go low volume mask:

Think I'll get a helmet & a stick for angling. Setup suggestions anyone?

Excited to see my name on the list!

Can't wait to see some videos Paul. I have some questions for you about diving in the area. Ive been looking for a new wetsuit but cant find anything locally. Not sure if I want to order one without trying it on first.

I got my semi-dry suit from Eugene Skin Divers (gave me a good deal on a Pinnacle Polar), then got the license, tags & ab iron at Buck's in Eureka (south end, on 101). Let me know if you want me to help you out with that. Maybe we can convoy down there. The ab diving is pretty good at Shelter Cove. I know some pretty good spots now & you're welcome to join in.

I'm going to stop by Eugene skin divers next weekend, as well as a couple shops in portland. Im hoping to get all my gear together before gs8 so i can do some diving down there. I will let you know how it goes. I think Chris, Justin and I are driving down thursday morning.

If you want, call me before you stop in at ESD. We may leave from CB on Thurs morning also, but may take off from Eugene to Grants Pass on Wed. You guys planning for the campground? If so, I'll save a spot for you if we make it there Wed.

On the drive down you might plan on stopping in at buck sporting goods in Eureka to pick up a Abalone iron as I've had a hard time finding them in Oregon.  Also don't forget an tags. 

are we going to do steak night again?

Dana, I don't see your name on the GS8 reg list.  You going this year?

I'm going just sent my regs forms and money in this weekend life has been busy.  Dave (Goldendog) and I are driving down together and we're staying in a house with Dino and the boy's.  I can't wait to head down there.

Campground for me & YS... who else is there?
Dana - you ab diving?
