Official 2015 Oregon Rockfish Classic Announcment

Hopefully the registration will work soon. Are there GPS numbers for the fish and no fish areas?

Wish I could join the fun again this year,  but for some reason they expect me to show up at work in order to get paid.   Dang them

I'm sure someone has them, but if the boundaries are the same then Rabbit Rock to the North and Whale Cove are pretty easy to see if it's not socked in.

It just so happens that I've been working on a Google Map that describes these boundaries.  Besides posting the map here, I will also convert the map boundaries to Humminbird, Lowrance, Raymarine and Garmin GPS plotter files.  I've tested this with my Lowrance, but not with the other brands yet.


The North boundary is the tip of Rabbit Rock at 44^o 50.3' N.
The South boundary is the south end of Whale Cove 1t 44^o 47.2' N
The West boundary is 20 fathoms (120 ft) depth.    This is approximately a half mile past the Whistle Bouy.


No Fishing Zones:

There is no fishing near the channel between the mouth of Depoe Bay and the Bell Buoy.  This channel is 100 yds wide at the channel mouth and extends to 400 yds wide at the Bell Buoy.   For those of you into geometry, yes that's a trapezoid.

Whale Cove is off limits to fishing per ODFW regulations... (see Whale Cove Habitat Refuge)

Next time. It was great meeting you last year!

This is great, thank you!

I am looking for volunteers to test out some GPS files that I've created for the ORC boundaries.  If you have a GPS plotter that has an SD slot and can accept a file with user define waypoints, tracks and routes and are willing to help me out, let me know.    I'll send you a file based on what kind of GPS you have and you can let me know if everything shows up properly.   

Once I know these files work, I'll release them to the public.

I have Lowrance covered.  Somebody with Hummindbird, Raymarine and maybe Garmin units would be good to have.

Thanks,
Brian

I'll also send you a file for your humminbird.    Actually, they're pretty small, I'm going to send anyone who asks all of them as a zip file.

Hey Brian

You can send me a Garmin file. Will PM you an e mail address.

Thanks! Scott

Hey Brian , you can send me the Lowrance file also.

I will also be attending the next meeting for ORC. I am very confident  that we can work out the kinks and get this back on track.  Having missed last year I am really looking forward seeing everyone this year .

That's what I'm talkin' about! Thanks Brian!

Is NWKA membership required for entry? I think it should be. What about the beer?

I certainly hope we don't have much fog. Wouldn't want anyone to get lost out there, would we?

"Head towards the sun"?
