Tillamook Bay May Day: after party & and after math

I would love to make this.  But I'm not really hopeful.  If it was in mid-June I could make it almost for sure.  Once I have a chance to see what the workload is like for my classes in the spring quarter I'll update my status.

On the off chance that I can make it I don't mind organizing the dinner that Saturday night.

I appreciate the offer if someone wants to take the reigns on that maybe you can help the coordination. Hope to see you on the water.
I have Kone Zone on board as well as a series interest from Rat-L-Trap
I have spent the last 5 hours on the phone and computer e-mailing(with some daughterly help) and have requests in with the major manufacturers so let's get the party started.

I got an email back from Werner paddles he's sending some swag for the event.
I found a print shop that will give us a deal on shirts and hoodies if we get enough guys to order.... I'm working on getting a proof to post bare with me, any pre-interests? $25 for tees your choice of color & $35 for hoodies with proceeds going to HOW the more we order the more HOW gets...
Did I mention you get to personalize it with your name?

Got some local donation for the cause so far.

Shannon,

Where are you planning to launch and take out for the tournament?  Would be cool to launch from the beach at the Old Mill, but the path from the camp to the water would need some work to make it passable with a kayak.  Any chance they have a backhoe and could clear a path?

The launch will be at the Old Mill Marina's boat launch on the inlet side of the Miame River. I will try to get som arial pictures edited to highlight launch and boundaries.

Here are the registration form and waiver if you want to print them out. I will have a hand full the morning of the 2nd.Everyone has to have one signed and have paid  before launch or your just fishing for fun. Not that that's a bad thing. I am unable to do the credit card pre-registration thing, unless one of the local shops want to take the reigns on that one. We are going to do HEAVIEST STRINGER in three categories 1-SALMON, 2-ALL OTHER FISH,3-CRABS forms to come i'm not internet tech material

I am able to open the link and print, can someone else confirm it.
