I will be there and happily donate the "X-wing" from Malibu kayaks that I "won" at the the B10 salmon derby.  I even drove down and hassled Astoria Kayak for the part it was missing so its complete .

yep thats it.. designed to fit Malibu yaks but a creative mind could modify it for other yaks

PNW - I like those jigs.  Nice work.  Looking forward to checking those out a little closer -

Alan

maybe we could do some tradin'

I plan on bringing plenty of jigs for trading.  Mostly 6 oz diamond jigs, 6 - 8 oz torpedo jigs, and 5 - 6 oz spire point bullet head jigs.  My luck hasn't been very good with drawings so trading may be the way to go for me.  This should be alot of fun.

down with that.

I just made some rod leashes and my order of jig heads from WILDERNESSHUNTER on NCKA just came in and he gave me free shipping (Big Ups! to WH), I lost my radio out at Deception Pass a few weeks ago, so I wasn't able to order as much as I would have liked (was going to donate more SWAG). But, I had some parts come in to make some of cool paddle leashes.

Anyway, I have 3 prizes that include (1) paddle leash and (1) of each 3oz and 4oz jigheads.

I will also have some Curly Tails to throw in with them...gotta pick'em up tomorrow...post pics later.

Those rod leashes look great.

Thanks Bryce!

I have a "conservation pack" from Vent-a-Fish...
de-hooker for circle hooks, venting tool, and a 10pack of 16gauge replacement needles

looks a lil something like this



After being unable to send a good-looking but small copper back to the bottom the last time I was out, i've concluded that de-venting tools like this are invaluable

Out of sight, out of mind.

Brian, do you think venting is not of much utility? I know that WDFW is discouraging it, on the basis that it could lead to infections. I'm not sure about it at all. I would guess that if there is sufficient trauma and cellular damage, even if a fish is initially successful at diving, it may not survive long-term.

I'm about to restrict myself to fishing the kelp beds. i.e. <25'. I've found that if I reel a copper or other benthic fish up from as little as 40', too quickly, then thry suffered baro trauma.

same here. I usually fish in or near kelp <40 ft. Probly why I don't catch many really big fish. Hope to change that at ORC.
