Bonneville Bass Bonanza May 17th

Bumping this up to keep it current. Also, I have questions:

I'm not terribly familiar with either Veinto State Park or Rowena / Mayer State Park. Any advice? It looks like Rowena / Mayer State Park has a boat ramp, but I'm not seeing any put-ins at Veinto. How far do you have to roll your kayak there to put in, and what kind of terrain is it?

Or should I just hope we get 25 or fewer participants?

Also I assume there will be further instructions on the official sign-up page regarding details like fishable areas, etc.

Looking forward to this event. I'm glad someone is doing something in the area.

Registration is now open for the first PNW tournament of the year (GS8 is in CA  ). Let's have a bunch of fun, score some awesome prizes and raise some funds for HOW - PDX. There is a link on the first page to the registration page on kayakshed.com. If you have an question PM or email me.

  Yee-haw! I'm way more excited for this one than I should be, considering how little I've fished up there. Still... river bassin' is my roots, man! Thanks langcod!

Ill sign up monday when im back home.

Just realized that we don't have any softball tournaments scheduled that weekend - I should be good to go.  Will be interested in meeting up with folks...

Also, I may have to get my son out there with me - unless there was a local kayak bass tournament that we missed last year, he'll be needing to defend his title from 2012!

I am happy to announce the addition of a couple more sponsors. Gerber Gear has donated several River Shorty Safety Knives as prizes. Pro-Cure Scents and The Fish Grip will be providing scent samples and a pair of grips in the captain bags of the first 30 participants. A big thank you to these companies and all of other sponsors as well. I'll be updating the front page with a prize list and registered participants periodically.

I'm really excited about this and hope that you guys are getting pumped up. It's going to be a bunch of fun.

Sweet! Not to mention the kayak!!!

Just signed up.  I'm ready to rock!!

Christine and I are in the game. Shoot, a fish grip is like what, $15? Not a bad gimme!

Pray for a calm day...

Additionally I believe you can launch from Oregon and still fish with a Washington license if you're in the shared water (i.e. mainstem), and important point for this competition, since the 3 possible launches are all in Oregon.

Thanks I knew this was shared waterway but didn't know if it was a different set of rules if you launch from Oregon side.

I think the rules are the same. Nice blog, btw! You coming to the tourney?

I'm going to try waiting for my wife's work schedule to see if I can get away.
Thanks still working on the blog.
