2nd Annual Tillamook Bay May Day registration/rules on #1

So the day is picked and it will be Saturday May 21st with a 7:45 low tide so we will have an early am launch 0545.  Mark your calendars and anyone interested in helping out speak up, or pm me. I would like to get the request letters for donations out, but I'm waiting to here back from one of the major kayak manufacturers to see if they will sponsor and hopefully get the owner here to fish with us. More to come and suggestions always welcome. The beneficiary for this event will be... Yep you guessed it Portland HOW. Hope to get the raffle handled a little smoother this year and we will be rolling with the after party early so those not staying aren't driving home at midnight.

Registration is $30 this year I'm working on getting captains bags  this year for the (non mandatory) captains meeting Friday evening.

Rules:
Ok guys basic rules are no power boats or assistance from one.. Tandems are ok as long as both occupants are registered to compete .. Only legal to retain fish will be weighed.... ALL ODFW  rules apply... Competitors are responsible for an Oregon fishing license as well as a invasive species permit.... You may only win ONE of the three classes for fish (let me know if that's not clear enough)... Launch and landing at Old Mill Rv Park... Pre registered guys can launch at First light (1/2 hour before sunrise) IF YOU HAVE LIGHTS ...6:00 am launch.... 3:30 weigh in as long as your off the water by 3:30 we will weigh you in....
Flags NOT required but recommended (per the coast guard)...stay inside the bay , if you cross the bar your disqualified....if I missed something important please let me know or ask away as I don't want to make it complicated ,just fun and beneficial for HOW.
Combined heaviest harvest per 3 categories :1 salmon.....2 all other fish....3 Dungeness crabs....

To clarify the placing and scoring... All of your fish will be weighed in three different categories... Salmon,all other fish,Dungeness crab.
The guy with the most weight in that single category wins first place for that category. We will have 3 first place ,second place ,and third place winners. You can only place in one category.

Required gear as followed: 1.proper immersion wear for Oregon waters in May.
2. PFD all competitors must wear a CG approved PFD while on the water
3. Have a vhf or fish with someone that does

All competitors must check in with me in the morning before hitting the water as well as check back in when you are off the water even if your not weighing in. All competitors will get a number based on what order your registration was received and that will be your competitors number and how we check in and out, also may be the order the captains meeting goodies I'm trying to line up for captains bags

Count me in!

I'm thinking May 22nd 2016 is a Sunday.

But what about the 22st?  😎

Maybe he meant the 21nd...

What are you guys talking about it clearly says 21st ........ now ..... Ok I got big fingers and a small iPhone. Even if I can't type or spell correctly it's going to be a blast and I hope to top the donation from last year.

If you can get OK to donate a BG-2 for first place I might be tempted to show up.

BTW, a benefactor is someone that funds the event.  HOW will be the beneficiary.

Sweet! I'll be there for sure!!!

We are stoked! Can't wait. Thanks Mojo!

Stupid smart phone gone auto correct! That and I'm not a grammar student. 

Damn auto-correct...

Looks like fun!  I'll definitely keep on the calendar as a possible inaugural Oregon event.

Depends a bunch on work plans as time nears.

I was tempted to go last year. I'll hit this one of these years for sure. This one is the same day as gimme shelter 10 in humboldt county CA though, so it'll be next year for me.

Looked at the date again.  Most likely I'll either be scrambling to wrap up a final project so I can graduate from my MBA, or I'll be halibut fishing that weekend.

Next time, if work schedule permits, I'll try to hit this tournament.

I'm in if at all possible and hope to bring my son along, too. Sounds like a great time! Thanks, Shannon.
