2015 Humpy Kayak Classic

QUESTION - I know that we can't start fishing Dash Pt until 7AM, but can we fish other permitted locations as early as we want?

Thanks again

I'm working on getting to Dash Point and opening the gate by 6am or earlier. I will try to post by Friday evening if I am able. Also, monitor the tournament facebook page as well.

Yes, this is in the rules section, but you gotta make the weigh-in by 2pm.  For me that kinda means launching from the park, as parking will likely be slim to nil by noon with the weather we've been having.  But you could always arrive and depart the weigh-in by kayak.

Ah, shoot. I was planning on packing it in from the other location and getting back to Dash Pt by weigh-in, but hadn't considered the fact that parking would be an issue. :/

See you guys there!

I wish I could make this, but my wife reserved a campsite up on Mount Hood 9 months ago. If I missed that, my salmon season would most likely be very short.

Thing about luck it is always worst when you need it to be the best... I paid my entry, I reserved a campsite for fri/sat night, I get to get out of work early on Friday. Whats wrong with that you say? My Transmission in my car took a dump yesterday.... If there are any North Enders considering going down, I got a sweet campsite for two nights and plenty of beer and gas money for a lift.. I know kind of short notice but I thought it worth putting out there. would consider the day trip just for Saturday if available. if anyone has option I'm open to hear it.

I'm staying at the campground at Dash Point State Park.  Where is the check in and weigh in located at the park?  I might have overlooked this information, but can't find it. lI,m sure I'll be able to find it , thought I'd ask.
Thanks

Check in is on the beach at Dash Point State Park (not to be confused with Dash Point Pier)...also noted on the first page.

I realize this fish is a little small for the brag board, but I figured I'd share it because a: I caught it this afternoon off of Dash Point; b: this was the first humpy I've ever caught; and c: this was also the first salmon I've landed in my new ride. 

So, it's a bit of a (somewhat pathetic) brag for me, and, hopefully, a sign of good things to come for this Saturday.  I didn't see a ton of fish being caught, but there were quite a few nets out.  If a noob like myself can do it, I'm sure that you seasoned vets are going to bang 'em up.   

Good job! First fish are always good confidence builders!  Those pinks are great fun.  I caught my first one for this season last s
Sunday and went with my kokanee rod. What a blast!

Didn't realize you were heading up too Mike, awesome!  See you there man.

Hey Doc, you give hope to another noob    See ya Saturday, save 4 of 'em for me...  Any salmon I catch will be my first too!

I will be there also. have to reserve camp site.

I'm all signed in. I landed 2 and lost 20 of them yesterday testing out different gear and techniques. So I got the loosing part down just fine, hope some stick better for Saturday.

right there w/ ya, yaktrap. my landing ratio on these the past few outings has been kokanee-esque. 3 for 10 or 12 last saturday, and 3 for 8 or 10 on sunday, with the majority of those lost having come unbuttoned at the net. ouch!

I am just happy to hear you guys are getting into fish.
