Title: Trinidad Rockfish Wars 10/15/16 POSTPONED UNTIL 10/22!!
Post by: One F on June 07, 2016, 05:08:21 PM
Trinidad Rockfish Wars Update: TOURNAMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED!

Trinidad Rockfish Wars Update:

We are rescheduling the 6th Annual Trinidad Rockfish Wars for Saturday, October 22nd. There will either be a tournament & potluck/party or just a potluck/party. Weather & wind are looking way better that day. We still don't know about swell, but the swell report up to the 19th is already looking better, with no signs of a storm for the next couple/few weeks.

If you have a reservation at Emerald Forest in Trinidad, please call them and have them move it to the 22nd or cancel your reservation if you can't make it.
People safety is a big concern with our tournament. We do not want to put people in harms way. We want to continue this tournament for years to come.

I'm still waiting on Trinidad Rancheria. They own the land and I just want to make sure they are cool with it. I'm sure they will be.

Kayak Greg aka Cajun will be contacting everyone individually that signed up and giving them their options as well.

If you can't make the tournament. We will either get you your goodie bag & shirt mailed to you (preferred way) or we can issue a refund. Please email me by Wednesday October 12th if you need a refund, otherwise you are getting a goodie bag and badass, locally made, tshirt mailed to you. Email me at aaron@pacificoutfitters.com

Thank you,

Tournament Director



The weather gods have not blessed us.  The condition reports for the 15th are not good and getting worse.  We have a couple options here but need to make the decision quickly.  We need to see swell reports for the following weekend, 10/22, as soon as possible.  There should be an official announcement from the Tournament Director tomorrow as to the status of TRW 2016

One F

Here' the sign ups so far for TRW6.  Remember, it's ONLY $25 and that includes a T-shirt if you get signed up by the cutoff date.  Just follow the link at the top of the thread and get 'er done!  It's going to be a fun time and the prizes are shaping up to be epic again this year!

:smt003 me too!  I will figure out if the extra gas and maybe some new tires for towing the trailer is the plan or staying in one of the little cabins. Either way Emerald Forest is cool. They have an arcade with pinball and a payphone booth made out of a redwood stump.  The launch at Trinidad is beautiful and going around Trinidad Head on a kayak is a phenomenal experience. Deserts and beer around the campfire anyone? Life is rough, lol.  I am expecting to fish! Amos

Just a quick warning:  If you booked Emerald Forest,  call and confirm they still have your reservation!  I booked the same week the announcement came out and apparently they changed computer systems and did not have my reservation for October and I had to re-book.

Can't wait to see you all in Trinidad!

Just signed up, hope this is a noob friendly one considering I have never fished for rockfish. I'd like to get out there and put some faces to the names here.

Before you say get all the safety gear I'm all set! And done quite a bit of re-entry practice.

In addition my brother in law will be joining me.

Awesome shirt logo!

 The  only really important question I have is will Nate "the fillet genius" be there again. I'm hoping to give him my business and hope he is doing good. I never pass up a chance to support young people In their efforts to be responsible and industrious whether it is a lemonade stand or rockfish chop shop. We got a chance to talk to him and his family last year.  From what I could see a great young man. Has he been around Trinidad this summer?

Nate and his friend Cory have been at Englunds dock quite a bit catching bait.  When I went to weigh my salmon at Englunds I invited them out to King Salmon for the salmon bite.  They fished there for 2 days and Nate had one on the first day, but him and Cory couldn't get it in the net before it came off.  Im not sure if he has been cleaning fish lately, but I also havnt been to Trinidad in months.

Nate was at Trinidad on the opener but Eureka has been the hot port lately, Trinidad has been awfully quiet.  If I run into him or Cory and for some weird reason they don't already know abut it then I'll let them know about TRW and I'd imagine they will show up.  Wouldn't surprise me if they fished it actually.

How exactly are you going to police that one?  Hitchhiker lingcod also out? 

It's the ocean.  We aren't fishing for bass in clear lake.

Hey Jef, could you point out where this rule is posted on the Rockfish Wars web page?  I can't seem to find it.  Thanks.

And echoing Crash's question: does that mean hitchhiker lings don't count?  Those tend to be the biggest lings!

Hey Jef, could you point out where this rule is posted on the Rockfish Wars web page?  I can't seem to find it.  Thanks.

Since we all know it isn't there, i'll quote the relevant rule:

Quote
As always, Department of Fish and Wildlife rules and regulations apply.

That means that once you have RCG or lingcod on board you are limited to 2 hooks and one rod, so that is a pretty significant constraint on making bait later in the day.  But fishing live bait in the ocean is certainly allowed by DFW as is gaffing or netting a hitchhiker lingcod.

I still don't see how this gets policed and it seems arbitrary.  I understand it for a C&R bass tournament.  This is not a C&R bass tournament.

Hey all just saw that Nate had an accident yesterday at Trinity Lake.  He broke his leg bad enough that it required an airlift out and surgery at UC Davis.  There is more info posted at LCKA facebook page, but since we were just talking about him and had folks asking about him I thought I'd pass this along.

What I don't get is are our local hospitals not capable of handling a broken leg surger and why couldn't Redding handle it?  A broken leg doesn't seem that complicated.  I broke a couple fingers and they wanted to do surgery and put pins in it.  I said he'll no cuz I was going to Costa Rica and didn't want to deal with that bs.  I had the doc slap a cast on and I even tried surfing with it on.  My fingers are fine.  I find that doctors often over due procedures.  Sorry for the rant, but I have strong feelings towards doctors and the way they do business sometimes, dentists included.

He is young so hopefully he will recover quickly.  It shouldn't be out of the realm that he can still recover in time for TRW.  Hopefully they had good insurance cuz those helicopter rides aren't cheap.

The live bait thing may be related to how I think it's against DFW regs to have a live bait tourney on fresh water.

That's true for inland bass tournaments.  Artificial lures only, no bait or scents.  You can still use bait for catfish tourneys, trout derbys, etc.

I am working to get clarification on the live bait situation. 

**After six years of doing this tournament, the question had never been raised before.  The use of natural bait, live or dead, is fine.  I am only the messenger and I apologize for any confusion, lost sleep, heart palpitations, poor gas mileage or any other symptoms the previous information may have caused.  Thank you, come again**

I have fished most of the TRW events, and I can't recall that the question has been brought up. I hope they allow live bait, since it would be a shame for a hitchiker ling to be DQd.

Maybe it'll change dramatically, but if the weather forecast is even remotely true, even the harbor will be a dangerous washing machine and launching could be a nightmare.  Nearly 20 foot waves and strong south winds for Saturday.

It would be way better to move the tournament to Humboldt bay than changing dates.  I don't know how flexible people are on dates.  I know I'm not.  In order of preference for me:

1.  Change body of water to Humboldt Bay
2.  Cancel tournament and have party, potluck and raffle
3.  Move date.

Post by: The X Inn Keeper on October 09, 2016, 10:26:35 PM
I know I'm probably being selfish, but I would be in favor of changing location over changing date.
First, I have already paid for my camp space and was told that if I canceled, I would be charged a fee.
Second, I don't have another weekend available before the season ends.

With that said, I really don't care so much about a mud marlin derby either

Trinidad Rockfish Wars Update: TOURNAMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED!

Trinidad Rockfish Wars Update:

We are rescheduling the 6th Annual Trinidad Rockfish Wars for Saturday, October 22nd. There will either be a tournament & potluck/party or just a potluck/party. Weather & wind are looking way better that day. We still don't know about swell, but the swell report up to the 19th is already looking better, with no signs of a storm for the next couple/few weeks.

If you have a reservation at Emerald Forest in Trinidad, please call them and have them move it to the 22nd or cancel your reservation if you can't make it.
People safety is a big concern with our tournament. We do not want to put people in harms way. We want to continue this tournament for years to come.

I'm still waiting on Trinidad Rancheria. They own the land and I just want to make sure they are cool with it. I'm sure they will be.

Kayak Greg aka Cajun will be contacting everyone individually that signed up and giving them their options as well.

If you can't make the tournament. We will either get you your goodie bag & shirt mailed to you (preferred way) or we can issue a refund. Please email me by Wednesday October 12th if you need a refund, otherwise you are getting a goodie bag and badass, locally made, tshirt mailed to you. Email me at aaron@pacificoutfitters.com

Thank you,

Tournament Director

No easy answers to satisfy all parties here.  With all the rain forecasted for this storm, Humboldt Bay could easily turn into Chocolate Milk Bay and the fishing would suck for everything.  And then there are the logistics of finding an area large enough to accommodate 120+ kayakers and parking for 100+ vehicles.  No easy feat.

Keeping my fingers crossed for decent weather the weekend of the 22nd!

I understand the weather is not fishable but a raffle and potluck is way more fare then moving that date 7 days later and would give all the registered partisapants equal chances to win prizes and hang with friends. Just have to speak my mind and rant   :smt013

Totally understand that you can't control the weather so I agree with cancellation or date change.
However, with the weather and the event change, Emerald Forest should be more flexible with their  cancelation policy.
Just saying, leaves a bad feeling about ever dealing with them in the future

I once had to postpone an event at Davenport due to a fire closing the highway, so yah, it happens. Just have to improvise the best you can and try to do what's best for the majority

Quick question for those in the know!

Would I still be able to fish the tournament if I can't make it to the meeting on Friday night?  My girlfriend and I would like to fish but we both work Friday and won't be able to get off early.  That means a long drive that evening and setting up camp well after dark if we are able to come.

I know tomorrow is the sign up deadline so I'm trying to get things in order so that we can get our t-shirt and goodie bags!

Big thanks to Pacific Outfitters for hosting another great Rockfish Wars tournament!  I love the 2-person team and multi-species requirements in this one, as it opens up all sorts of potential strategies.

Luckily, Trinidad Harbor is sheltered from NW swells and has some rocky structure.  Otherwise this tournament would've been a total wash.  The ocean was HUGE: when Matt and I saw house-sized rollers barreling past Blank Rock, we knew the tournament would be decided in the harbor.  Catching good fish in the harbor is not easy, and that was reflected in the scores, with only 3 teams scratching up enough species to qualify for the weigh-in.  I cut my teeth on kayak rockfishing in Trinidad Harbor back in 2009-10, so I at least had some experience fishing the harbor and was familiar with a few techniques that work in the harbor.  Soon Matt started whacking a bunch of blacks and blues, including some solid 18+ inch blacks.  We had some solid harbor fish for most of the day, but it wasn't until 1pm when we finally scored our third species to qualify us for the weigh-in.  I've never been so stoked to get a kelp greenling, haha.  Turns out we'd scraped up enough fish to put us into 1st place!  Species caught included blacks, blues, coppers, a gopher/BnY, short lingcod, and kelp greenling.

Potluck was great, prizes were awesome, and great camaraderie rounded out a verrry tough tournament.  Thanks again to all the organizers.  Can someone post some photos of the Trophy boat launch fiasco?  :smt005

Congrats to the Amayesing Brothers, Matt and Chris for showing us how to get it done.  That was a really impressive stringer for the conditions.

Congrats to my brother for kicking my butt with his 140 point ling, which tied for first in the biggest ling category.  His 28+ inch ling was only 26 inches bigger than mine.

My brother and I tried twice to go out into the open water and both times we scurried on back in.  The biggest swell we went over started at the bottom in 52 fow and topped out at 72 fow.

Congrats Chris and Matt for the win! It was sure tough fishing out there. Thanks to Pacific outfitters, Greg and Jef for putting on another great event. Also for anyone that helped gather equipment after my fishing partner flipped at the launch. It could have ended our fishing before it even got started.

We got out to green rock and worked 100 fow for blacks that were few and far between. We were throwing back 16 inch blacks without a second thought that killed our chances later but o well that's just how it goes sometimes. We came across a headless seal floating by flat iron on the way in. Once we got back to the harbor with 10 minutes left in the tourney I dropped one last time with a CC herring and found what I was looking for. First ling hookup of the day and ended up tied for biggest ling.

Great day on the water despite slow fishing.

Oh, almost forgot it wasn't until I got back that I saw that my back hatch was left open after the initial hull check prior to launching. With the conditions we were in that could have turned out pretty bad. Really not cool for the guy that opened it to not close it shut. Nobody touch my sh$& from now on ![emoji3]  lol but from now on I will double check everything if things get messed with prior to launch.

Had a time in huge seas.  It was the first time I'd ever been out when the weather at the top of the wave was different than in the trough.  Balmy suntanning weather in the trough.  Windy and cold with spray on top.  I also saw a pinnacle break that is normally 30 ft under water.  First time for that too.

It was mostly just a handful of locals outside and there was very little catching going on.  It was still way better than last Saturday.  I went down to the pier for breakfast and it was blowing 35+ with gusts over 50 and heavy rain.  The launch and harbor were wrecked.  At least we were able to get out this week, but conditions were very tough.

Looking forward to a summertime TRW7.

You were smashing those schoolies!  Seemed you were hooked up every time I glanced your way.  My fish were slower to come by, but I kept confidence in my technique and it eventually paid off with that greenling and copper RF.  Who knew my last-minute 12 inch copper would be worth a $50 gift certificate?  :smt044

Dude, glad I didn't see that seal with no head!   Pucker factor was high enough outside without that image!

Fisheducator and I were first on the water.  We ventured past the head in the dark.  If we could see we probably would have  turned around immediately.   We had 10-12' swells head on but that wasn't thaaatt bad.  It was the 3-4' waves hitting us sideways trying to knock us off our boats that turned us around about 50 yards from blank rock. 

Inside the harbor was a pleasure cruise after that mess.  I found a school of tiny blues.  And had a ling come undone before I got it to the boat.  Other than that it was no action at all. 

It was still a good time.  The Mayes Bros were the team to beat going into the tourney. So when they said they were struggling with the bite it gave us hope but we just couldn't get it goin. 

Lots of great anglers went without qualifying stringers. 

Wish I took more pics too, the ones I got were pretty lame. 

Congrats again Matt and Chris!
