OFFICIAL ORC 2012 ANNOUNCEMENT

Can't wait to see the early Sat morning "game faces" after the Friday night meet-n-greet/get-yer-drunk-on sessions   Did anybody chum the water last year?

I checked.  I've got 2 Scop patches left.  Hopefully that'll help.  Need to get more ginger gum.

Yeah, you could say that.

I recommend eating a ton of greasy food and staying up late pounding the beers the night before, then not have any breakfast and skip the sea sick meds.  Gives us all something to chuckle at and the seagulls always appreciate a free rainbow yawn buffet.   Flat forecasts are boring

Also, drink at least 3 red bulls.  It really helps keep things down.

A memorable moment from the ORC 2010

Lee: Head down, busily tying a knott
Spot: Notices that Lee is a lovely shade of green "Hey, HEY HEY!!! Don't look down.  Keep your eyes on the horizon"
Lee: Pivots head unsteadily upward "Thanks!"
Spot: Sees Lee with his head down again working on the same knott "HEY!!  Lee!!  Look up!!!"
Lee: Releases an epic technicolor yawn into his own lap.....

That's not true Mark.  I stayed up late, prepping with copious amounts of rum and beer, ate a healthy breakfast of mountain house chicken with noodles, and drank a red bull.  You know it's not possible to get sick after prepping like that.  I do appreciate you escorting me half way back to the harbor though!  And giving me keys to your ride so I could get some dramamine and head back out!  I caught my very first ling after that.

I've since learned that good sleep, no alcohol, no caffiene, and not looking down are the secret.

2011 ORC, I was one of the last to come in, and didn't get sick. 

So far this year I've been in swells at least 5 times with no medication, and the closest I got to sick was after 2 hours of 4-6 foot fun at Hobuck over the shallow reef. 

Seriously folks, if you're concerned or unsure about seasickness do these things:

Get good sleep
Eat something, an empty stomach will hurl
Don't drink alcohol the night before
Don't drink caffiene that morning
Take a pill if you don't know (in other words, if you haven't been out in salt yet)
If you have sinus issues, neti pot the night before and the morning of

Is it too late to register?  And ya'll have a schedule of things?

This would be the first time for me in the salt.  So I'd prolly need to follow one of you fine lads out there

Definitely NOT too late to sign up! 

I'd offer to guide you myself but I'll have two salt newbies with me already that day. 

Any salty groups or individuals willing to help the brutha out?

Thanks Spot!

I just saw the prefish thread so I think I'll try to head up Thursday night and get something in before then.  But if anyone doesn't mind a shadow for a bit that would be awesome.

Signed up and committed!

Still on the fence if I can make it Thursday night to make the pre-fish but for sure on Friday.

I'll be in the black Dodge quad cab and Caribou truck camper. Stop by and say "hi"!

Just dont go sleep! Be the first out there 

IM IN WOOT!!!!!

Lookin' forward to meetin' all the newbs!

Do you have to check all of your fish in at one time or can you check some in and go back out?  The reason I'm asking is, the 16th is a backup all depth halibut day and there is plenty of quota left.  You can't retain any ground fish with a halibut on board on all depth days.  It would be kind of cool to target near shore butts first, check in the fish, then go back out and pick up a limit of rockfish.

Got the Big Hammers in.  All 6.5 inchers.  Halloweed, Toast, Motor Oil Red, Red Calico Hunter, Redrun, and a new color called Brown Bait which has a brown back, silver sides, and almost avocado belly.
