2014 ORC

So trying to plan for vacations and camping. I do not want to miss the ORC coming up next summer - 2014. Are there any dates set or approximate dates yet ?? Thanks

Probably have to wait and see what the 2014 Oregon Regulations say

The regs look the same for lings and rockfish.

Are they out for Cabezon yet?  That was the deciding factor last year.

It says cabezon retention is prohibited Oct 1 to June 30.all size limits are the same as last year.2 lings 7 rockfish 1 cabezon.same as '13

I'd think it would be the second or third weekend in July, but that's mostly a guess.

Assuming the same thought process for timing as 2013 it would be on July 12.  But, last I heard it wasn't decided yet who would run the tournament.  So the date should be considered pretty soft for now.

Weather is statistically better closer to our original Father's Day weekend in June.

Bump!

...Looking for the date to plan on the "time off" work callendar... Perhaps I missed the announcement...

As obsessively as most people on here check for those kinds of announcements I think it would be hard to miss.

My money is on July 12.  Cabezon is open for retention, and it's separated a bit from July 4.  Nice as it would be from my vacation time perspective to have on July 5, I imagine very few people would show up if it was on that date, and it might even be tough to get enough camping spots at Chinook Bend.  July 19 is a possibility too though.

Statistically, it's a safer bet to have it the weekend of Jun 28th.  The summer NW winds can be problematic.

I guess if we want to make sure John won't take the win with another huge cabbie that would be a good weekend.

Just looked up the Cabby season....  That does present a problem.

I'm looking forward to the Rockfish Classic this year for sure.  As long as I can get enough warning to take vacation time it really doesn't matter much when it's held.  We always seem to pull off a great weekend filled with some fishing and fun.  Honestly, there's not too much I'd rather do than spend a weekend at the coast fishing and feeding a campfire.  No mater when it happens - it should be a good time.

Last year the weather was nice except for the wind.  the year before it was cold and rainy....  I just want to go fishing.
