Title: GS8 - Only one brief capsizing reported - WTG, Everybody!
Post by: LoletaEric on January 14, 2014, 10:56:48 PM
It's time!  Tomorrow is exactly 3 months / 90 days before registration closes, so don't forget to get your registration and gear order in the mail.  I've attached the rules and schedule, application and qualification sheet, and registration and gear order form to this post.  Please review the information and feel free to ask questions here or send me a PM.  Watch out though, if you don't follow the thread you may miss something.   :smt003  Hint:  keep track of what page you were up to date with...  I'll change the headline, keep an updated roster on the current page, and try to keep adding relevant content as well as prize, season, campground, inn, weather, road and other information.

Changes this year:

- Going back to the old photo catch and release protocol - video was too demanding and hard to deal with at check-in.
- Only devoting prizes and trophies to the top places in the tourney, and the rest of the prize pool will be part of a silent, cash auction to raise money for PIF and HOW on the spot.
- Making the Third Annual Gimme Shelter Gyotaku Extravaganza shirts pre-order, and making it possible for pre-order of a discounted shirt that you sponsor to be available for a kid at the event.
- All gear has gone up $2
- Assembling a group Hike and Dive for Monday's mid morning minus tide along the Lost Coast - The First Annual Gimme Shelter Hike and Dive.
- Printing t-shirts for the Hike and Dive that are available pre-order.
- Launch operator has changed and there is some level of turmoil due to it and the politics around it.  More on that later...
- I will consider capping the number of participants around 250.

Stuff that hasn't changed much:

- GS is all about NCKA - you can't go unless you're a member, and you can't sign up unless you've been before or you're 'sponsored' by someone who has.  (wives and other close family not required to be members in order to register)
- Friday evening safety meeting and check-in at the launch from 5 to 6PM.  Group photo, gear to be handed out, always a great place to see old friends and connect with new ones.
- Excellent pre-fishing dates with the opener on Thursday this year.
- The Tides Inn and others in town are likely already getting full for the weekend - get on it!
- Campground should be the same as other years - we'll get that confirmed and post it here.  What ends up happening is they tell people to just show up - you can either rent your own spot for what seems like an arm and a leg for a little patch of grass, picnic table and fire ring, or you can pay $20/night/person and stay in the large group area they provide.  If you have questions about the campground scene some reading of old GS posts may help you immensely (that's not a curse, I promise!   :smt005 - there are LOTS of pages to go through...)

- Pacific Halibut season should be open, but possible big changes are coming for 2015...
- Fingers crossed that salmon season will be open and that it'll be another strong projection for the year.
- Abalone season in full swing with fantastic minus tides this year!
- Trophies for the tournament to follow with tradition:  ten inch abs, funky little ceramics, big redwood Trophy Troughs made for the fish of your dreams.
- Gear art following with traditional black t and utilizing orange this year.  Blue hoodies with orange ink will pop.
- Pro Staff opportunities available...   :smt001  Help at check-in = free Pro Staff Hoodie AND free registration, but it requires stopping fishing in time to devote at least 2.5 full hours on the troughs.  Thank you, Volunteers!  The Pro Staff is full (unless you bring something pretty damn sweet!   :smt003)

There's so much to say about GS, and I could probably drain several brews and finish this thread around 3AM, crying, smiling and leaving my heart on the keyboard, but I'll save some of that for the coming months of anticipation.  I'll say this for now:  Gimme Shelter is for my wife and kids and myself a time in our lives that we look forward to each year and all year, and we put more into it than any vacation or fun event we've ever been part of or even known about.  The energy of the group combined with the magic of Shelter Cove has the potential to easily soothe your soul into a possibly precarious position:  that of being so satisfied and pleased and full of brotherhood that you may proclaim it to be the time of your life.  I say precarious because I think we always strive for this but it's not something you just throw out there lightly, and I don't believe I am.  Come have the time of your life at GS.   :smt001

Ok, I'm getting sucked in already...   :smt005

It was September 11, 2006.  Already heavily afflicted with the Madness, I'd been trying to get down to the Cove as often as I could after scoring a fat limit of salmon to 21.5 pounds in July.  The July trip had me paddling "way out" to the PB fleet northwest of the Whistle - it just felt different then.  Felt like a long way and somewhat risky.  That was a long time ago, and catching that limit that day among powerboats who were having trouble getting bit was a huge factor in the development of my yakfishing.

So September 11 I had a brief window of opportunity.  The ocean was flat and wind was down, and if I jammed down there I'd have about an hour or less to fish.  Since it's an hour and fifteen minute drive if I speed I found myself wondering on the way down what the hell I was doing!  I arrived at the Cove and got down to the bottom of the ramp to find a huge 8 foot tide swamping everything - you couldn't even turn the corner at the bottom.  There was a surfer dude there looking for a wave, and I told him of my dilemma - jammed down here and now can't even park!  He says, "the tide's not going to go out in an hour, so just park right there at the bottom of the ramp road.  I did just that.  Got out toward the Bell Buoy trolling my chove.  Picked up a black, tossed it back.  Got another bite.  Thought it was a black too.  Then it showed some strength, and I thought, "oh, a lingcod!"  Then it started peeling line.  When I had my thumb pushing down on that beautiful spinning spool I was like, "this is a salmon!!"  It made that blistering run and as I felt it stop I started to panic - was it off?!  I reeled and felt nothing, so I reeled faster and faster until I caught up to it - it had run at me!  It then did a 180 and ran again.  Again I had my thumb pushing down on that smoking spool!  Then it came back at me again!!  This turn of events was a great piece of luck for me, as this fish tired itself on two distinct runs and returns.  I saw it at the surface about 25 to 30 feet from me, starting to turn sideways with fatigue.  I quickly worked it toward me, got the big net out and scooped it up before letting out an elated victory yell.  The only other boat out was a powerboat over toward the Whistle, and I don't think they knew what had just happened.  It turned out I didn't even know what had just happened! 

During the fight I'd pledged to paddle in and leave for home if I could just get the fish in the net.  Of course, once I did have it secured I HAD to troll just a bit more!  Soon I was heading in though.  I got to the ramp, snapped a couple pics, headed up the hill to get a bag of ice, stowed the fish in my wetsuit with big pieces of a ten pound block of ice around it, and headed for home.  Took care of time sensitive obligations with the wife and kids and then headed over to my Dad's place, excited to show my lifetime salmon coach my prize.  I'd thought when I caught it, "25 pounder!!", as that was about the biggest we ever caught growing up fishing my Dad's dories out of Humboldt Bay and the Cove.  When my Dad put it on his scale and proclaimed 38 pounds I was astounded!  And thrilled!!

That fish and that fight with the double thumbed-spool cemented the Cove as my favorite destination, and salmon fishing from my kayaks has become a lifetime passion.  That's a bit of what Shelter Cove has to offer.   :smt001

I know, Luis!  I'm excited to finally have it up and registration open.  It's amazing how crippled I felt by just not having easy access to some internet and word processing basics for a couple weeks!  Not like I couldn't get them, but to keep from a major inconvenience/expense I had to put part of life on hold for a bit (intended to launch this at or just after New Year).  It made me realize how tied my life is to the net!  That was a freaky realization, but it's all good.   :smt001

NCKA makes GS good.

In.  Would not miss it. 

I love that GS8 is the kickoff to the season.  In so many sports- baseball, football, basketball, etc., the season builds slowly, with time, dedication and strategy building to a crescendo of playoffs and a championship.  We're more like NASCAR.  We put GS8, the Daytona 500 of kayak fishing, right at the beginning.  That way we can just scream through the season at 200mph right from the start.

This will be our 2nd GS and can't wait, it seem there is nothing like kicking the season off with a bang! Because this is only our 2nd GS does that officially make it annual? The anticipation has been building in my house and I find myself thinking about it more and more. I might go mad waiting for this one boys and girls.

Sorry for not being clear, Kirk.  It'll be an original design but will have the traditional iconic paddler silhouette and the NCKA "linghead vector" as well.  I'll put up the art, but it won't be for several weeks.

Let's pump up the group pic this year!  I want 200 in it - at least!   :smt003 

Have had a couple questions in PM's that are worth addressing here:

- is the sponsorship requirement meant to keep out people who aren't known to the group?

No, not necessarily, but I can see how it may come off like that.  The sponsorship requirement is a tool that can help us to keep each other thinking about how our actions affect those around us as well as the entire club.  Here is how I described it in a past thread:

It's not hard to get a sponsor.  All you need is someone who has attended in the past who will vouch for your character and agree to intervene if you are involved in any kind of dispute, altercation or other conflict.  It's based on an issue that came up at GS6 where someone was too drunk and caused a scene and then the next day ended up getting in too close to the reef requiring help from other members, one of which endo'd and lost a bunch of gear due to it.  The perp bailed the scene and left the Cove early.  Later online here he was called out, nearly lynched, given a chance to apologize, brought what many considered weak sauce, and was banished....

Anyway, just having the sponsorship program seems to be enough of a reminder to all that we're representing each other to some extent, so there is definitely an air of love and cooperation at the event, in the campground, OTW, on the beach...etc., and the sponsorship program will go on as a symbol of our commitment to treat each other and others around our group with patience and respect at all times.  Thx   :smt001


Second question:  Is the NCKA membership requirement shutting out other groups like NWKA, CCKF, LCKA...etc.?

Definitely not!  If you're coming to fish in Nor Cal - and Shelter Cove is about as Nor Cal as it gets - you ARE a legitimate NCKA member!  It's a free club, so I don't feel that requiring membership is at all an impediment. 

The reason behind the requirement is that, no matter whether a participant is known to others or not, by requiring membership we are afforded some level of assurance that someone coming to the event has been exposed to our culture of safety, accountability, conscientiousness and supportive attitudes. 

Thanks for sending the questions, and be sure to keep asking if you wonder.   :smt001

Post by: Great Bass 2 on January 15, 2014, 05:49:54 PM
It's hard for me to sponsor someone I have never met so if you need a sponsor go to the crab fest, AOTY ceremony, Berryessa Salmon Slam or NCKA hookup and introduce yourself. Shelter Cove is not technical but the conditions can be difficult. GS5 was in a miserable rain and I was close to hypothermia. You need the equipment and skills to fish it safely. So if you have never been on the salt, you have 4 months to take a class, get the minimum equipment and log some ocean paddling time and practice self rescue. Prepare yourself and start getting out to NCKA events and you should not have a problem finding a sponsor. It's not a barrier, it's safety issue.

Eric,
You should receive my registration today.  Registering as early as possible is my way of expressing thanks for all the hard work you put into the event.  Hopefully last minute registrations can be minimized to allow you more time to plan and get everything done.  This will be my 5th GS event and I hope to fish many more.

Mine should be there today or yesterday.  I also make a point of getting my registration in early.

You do bring up a good point.  Registration closes April 15.  There are no "last minute" registrations.  When people ask, as someone always does, I will tell them no so that Eric can focus his positive energies on the awesomeness that is Gimme Shelter.

Great question, Doug.

The CPR bonus has gone back to the old method, and it only applies to the overall scoring.  (19" rockfish released and properly documented = 19 bonus points if you did not retain any larger rockfish).  While CPR of a lingcod will not add anything in terms of the "biggest lingcod" component of the tournament, I will accept clear CPR evidence toward "biggest lingcod".  In other words, if you catch and release a, say, 35 inch lingcod and clearly document it with a photo on a trough including the required element TBA Friday evening, May 16th, you will score 35 bonus points toward your overall score, but your lingcod is still a 35" entry toward "biggest lingcod".

Not using a scale, so "biggest lingcod" = longest lingcod (mouth closed, NOT gutted and gilled).

Also, in the interest of spreading the love, the top score/grand prize winner cannot also win the "biggest lingcod" prize.

Does the rules say we can only turn in one (1) of each species, or that we only can claim the c-n-r on our largest of a species?
Just want to make sure my ducks are in a row.

It says the prizes will be for the top places only, does this mean top 2, 3, 5, or 10 or ?

Just to clarify

Yes.   :smt001

From the rules which are attached to the end of the first post in this thread:

"The scoring is based on AOTY as run at NCKA.ORG.  Points per inch are allowed for your best fish in 6 different species to be scored as follows:
a.   Salmon –    5 points/inch
b.   Halibut –    5 points/inch
c.   Lingcod –    5 points/inch
d.   Cabezon – 7 points/inch
e.   Rockfish –  7 points/inch
f.   Greenling – 11 points/inch
This year’s catch and release bonus only applies to your largest fish for that species, and you get a set amount – if you measure and release a legally caught fish and get a clear photo of it on a standard measuring device you get the bonus points if you didn’t keep a longer one.  The bonus wll be one point per inch of the released fish, so a 19” rockfish would earn 19 bonus points, and a 40 inch lingcod would earn 40 bonus points.  No release bonus for salmon or halibut."
Quote from: yakhopper
Does the rules say that we only can claim the c-n-r on our largest of a species?

Yes.   :smt001  It's the Honor System, and it encourages people to keep releasing larger and larger fish - something that I swear by, personally. 

Quote from: yakhopper
It says the prizes will be for the top places only, does this mean top 2, 3, 5, or 10 or ?

Good question - it will be limited to probably the top few or several...  Depends how prize acquisition goes, and much of the prizes are going to the auction which is to benefit PIF and HOW.  The bottom line is that I'm not planning to 'go deep' in the prizes like last year where 27th place got a prize.  I'm de-emphasizing prizes.  Yes, there are major, "premium level" prizes being awarded to the overall points champ (Grand Prize - Malibu's new X-Caliber), Biggest Lingcod (longest actually, gets a Wilderness Systems T140), I have trophies in the works, and there are other premium prizes TBA, but the overall de-emphasis of prizes needs to be understood for what it is - I'm not looking to gather and distribute as many prizes as possible.

While I'm at it here, I wanted to mention for those who may not understand how an event like this is ultimately structured, regarding your investment, what I owe you if you register, and recourse.  I am receiving the entry fee and immediately responding with communication (everyone gets a welcome email) and action on your behalf.  I build the tournament schwag, create, submit and distribute the gear order (a huge job), and plan the entire event based on those who've signed up.  Please understand this if you sign up:  you don't have the right to call or email back and get a refund.  If you're not into laying $25 out for a t-shirt, some tackle and a few other schwag items along with entry in the tournament (which will happen rain or shine and even if we have to fish inside the breakwater), then please don't enter!  In years past if someone missed the tourney or found out late that they would miss, it seems that I've gotten a few messages which indicated that there may be an expectation for a refund.  The deal works like this:  if you don't make it I send you your schwag (or a member/friend brings it to you) and you missed the tourney - it's that simple.  There's no refund because I'm making gear for you, planning on your presence, and my part is that I show up with a crapload of gear, get it all to the rightful owners, put on the tournament, award the prizes, hopefully remember to thank everyone!, and have the best time I can along with my fam.

Sorry for the ramble.   :smt001

Reading's good for you, and reading this entire thread is a good thing to do if you want to know what's going on...  Good questions, Eric.  I'm glad you asked them.

That was a 10"+ ab and 23+ pound lingcod taken on the same trip.   :smt001

In 2006 I took my Dad down to the Cove to salmon fish from the yaks.  I let him paddle my Scrambler XT, and I trudged along in the back seat of the Mainstream tandem.   :smt001

My Dad taught me everything about salmon trolling:  how to hook up bait, how to let out line, how to hold the rod, how to feel a bite, how to set the hook, how to let it run, how to not fuck up the net job!, and how to appreciate everything about a salmon vs just how it tastes and what a thrill it is to catch.  Not to mention, he was a commercial fisherman in the "Mosquito Fleat" of the seventies down there and out of Humboldt Bay AND he was an expert flyfisherman and author on that subject.

To take him salmon fishing on my "home turf" of yakfishing was so awesome for me!  I outfitted the trip, got us down there in my truck, setup the yaks, and we were off to the Bell Buoy.  I'd been catching salmon lately in the area just north of the Bell, so we eagerly trolled up to it.  Dad got snagged badly with a DeepSix, flasher and hooks out (mind you, he's expert) and breaks off $25 worth of gear!  I'm mortified!!  I brought my mentor out here and he's broken off to start the session?!   :smt009

He shook it off and got the exact same setup back out.  We weren't trolling 5 more minutes before he was hooked up on a nice fish!  He fought it like the pro he was, and soon it was in his net - there was never any question of whether he needed any help from me.   :smt001 

The fish that had been being caught and reported around the Cove at that time were small - 6 to 10 pounds.  When my Dad netted his fish that morning I exclaimed, "that's no 10 pounder!!"  He'd bagged a solid 15+ (he never weighed it) to start the day!

We trolled on from there and within 10 to 15 minutes I told him I was heading SW, and we split up.  I trolled for maybe 20 to 25 minutes with no bites before heading back toward that area north of the Bell Buoy.  Got in close with my Dad and he says he's heading in - he had his limit!   :smt001  He'd actually gone on to catch two more kings, releasing one around 6 to 8 pounds. 

He caught 3 legal kings in about 30 minutes or less between the launch and the Bell Buoy.  That's how this really relates here, but I'd point out that it also really relates on this level:  we are engaged in fishing and kayaking on the ocean and a range of other outdoors endeavors because within those pursuits we are afforded the chance at unique and memorable adventures, but the real thing for me lies in a specific focus - that is, always having a chance at catching a trophy fish or premium target like a salmon.  It's huge, and believing you can do it is 90% of the battle.

I'll always hold dear the lessons my Dad taught me during our times on the water.   :smt001

Can someone give me some info on the road from Hwy 101 to Shelter Cove. I will be towing a 31ft trailer. When I made my reservation for the campground the guy told me they could accomodate the length if I could get it down there! Threw up a flag for me to question the road and should I just leave it at home. Any advise would be appreciated.

I'm glad you're coming, Ben, but watch out for the hill coming down into the Cove - there have been many RV and trailered vehicle crashes due to the long, steep grade coming down to the ocean from the last ridge.  Here's a vid:

If you know how to drive a heavy load down hills you will be alright. Most people don't know how to pull heavy loads downhill. They will ride the brake the entire hill trying to keep the speed constantly slow. Better off running low gear, and when the speed starts to creep up, push brakes hard till you almost stop, then continue off the brake. I was advised not to bring my motorhome last year for my first trip down there. Once I drove the road I know why the recommendation was there. I would have been OK, but left my MH at home and rented a house. I considered bringing the MH this year, but am renting a house again.  Hope that helps.  Diesel with a brake would be the best.

If your tow vehicle is a 4x4 truck/van with manual locking hubs in the unlocked position, you could shift the transfer case into low range and run in a much much lower gear and almost never need to touch the brakes.  You will be rolling at turtle speeds, but not kill your brakes. 

Don't try this if you have auto locking hubs.  You will destroy them on any one of the many tight turns.

BTW... Registration and check are in the mail!   :smt006

The last 6 miles are a pretty steep descent. It's doable, but 31 is pushing it IMO...depending on trailer weight and the tow vehicle.
The thing to remember is that going slow is acceptable. Because the crazy locals would pass you regardless...even if you were going 30mph. So don't sweat it if you have to creep downhill in low @ 5mph.
But I'd look into renting a house if you want comfort. The town is pretty dang small. The furthest rental house from the campground is maybe 3 miles.
I'm sure others who have experience towing a trailer down Shelter Cove Rd will chime in too.

Great question, Isao.  I will now make the rules for fishing a tandem:

- One person in a tandem is fine - score as usual;
- Two people in a tandem each score their own fish - helping each other land fish is fine, and taking each other's C&R pics is fine too.

Isao - When Josh came back from that trip - he'd had quite an epic one - he was so jazzed to relate the story about encountering you and your wife and how you guys caught that fish - even on a day where I think I remember that he had his own challenges, the fact that you two got on that great fish after he helped you out with advice was so cool.  He felt it, he wrote about it here, and we felt it.  I was stoked for you, and I was stoked for Josh to have experienced something so special as to have assisted in someone else's beautiful moment.

That's what NCKA is all about, and it's what GS is all about.  I'm really stoked that you guys are coming.   :smt001

Question Eric, on the Largest Lingcod, do we have to keep the lingcod to get weigh in just in case theres tie on length? I know that there are extra points for catch and release, but since theres price involve on largest lingcod and definitely theres chances of having the same length how is that going to determine who wins if both released them?

Thanks,

Darius

I'll just have to judge based on the photo presented.  If someone's not confident in their photo of a big lingcod they're likely going to just bonk it and bring it in anyway, but I'm confident that I can make a fair ruling between two big lings, whether one or both are photos or not.   :smt001

Sounds like a great problem to have, actually.   :smt004

GS Topic of the Day:  Whales at the Cove!

For those who wonder about a whale encounter at Shelter Cove, it's a likely reality for anyone who spends a significant amount of time at or near the beach or OTW at the Cove!  I've seen many, many whales both while on the water and while on the beach all around Point Delgada - the name of the Shelter Cove Headlands.  Here are some of my most memorable Shelter Cove whale experiences:

-  Back in the 90's we spent lots of time along Black Sands Beach, north of Shelter Cove.  The focus in that area is backpacking, shore hiking and the hunt for big abalone.  Back then you could still take a four-wheeler three miles north along the wilderness beach to Gitchell Creek.  Over several years I camped at Gitchell and north of there - most trips while backpacking and some with the aid of a four-wheeler.  The big ab stories are starting to leak out of my brain and cloud my train of thought here, but those need to wait!  This is about whales...

On one trip to camp at Gitchell with my friend John's four wheeler we were wrapping up the great campout and bringing everyone's gear back up the beach with the quad, and I was riding behind John, holding onto gear and sitting on bungied-down gear.  We jammed down the beach on the sandy stretches and carefully maneuvered through the rocky ones, and when we got back to the parking lot at Black Sands (which was MUCH different then) we had an amazing occurrence unfold right before our eyes!

As we'd come up the last stretch of sandy beach at a good pace, we saw there were a group of people right along the flat ocean, but perilously close to a shorebreak that is as unforgiving as most on the planet!  It was a very calm day, so it was nearly a moot point.  Anyway, we see this group of obvious tourists (non-locals) right along the calm shoreline with a steep and cobbly dropoff just past the surf, and we proceed on the four-wheeler up to the parking lot.  As we get up on what used to be a 30' high ledge along the eastern boundary of Black Sands Beach (it's long since eroded away), we see a whale breach RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOURISTS ON THE BEACH!!  This was amazing!  These tourists, like I said, were in a spot that would've been very dangerous due to a steep and cobbly shorebreak (bowling ball sized rocks "roll" and create their own bass rumble there constantly), and they were standing right there when a whale not only showed itself and not only close to shore but right by shore and it BREACHED - way up in the air and splashed, RIGHT BY SHORE and RIGHT BY THESE PEOPLE!!  On the four-wheeler 200 yards away and a bit elevated, we had a great view and couldn't believe our eyes.  This happened and I reached for my camera, but it was too late.  Mind you, this was years ago and a film camera!  I like to think I learned from that day, because I'm pretty quick on the ready with the cam now, but that day I really blew it...  There's more!

Having seen this amazing breach right by the beach and right by the tourists, we were jazzed, and then it happened again!  Again I reached for my camera too late...  Here we were, just going through a process to get our belongings and several people back to civilization after having spent a couple nights along the coast three miles to the north, camping in the wilderness, and the most wild and amazing thing we've seen happens while we're packing gear to the parking lot!

Then it breached a third time!!  OMG, I was so mortified!  I felt like such a dunce for not having the camera out by then.  So then I had it out waiting for another beautiful vertical leap and splash, RIGHT BY SHORE!  It didn't happen.  As we continued on with our business we got to speak to the tourists - they were blown away, and even though we tried to make it really clear to them that things like that don't just happen every day, I felt they must figure that it couldn't have been THAT rare to have experienced that...  I'm telling you, those people were closer to something so special than any of us will ever get, I can't imagine...  I'm happy to have just seen it myself, from 200 yards away.

These things happen.  Not often.  But they happen at Shelter Cove, and it can be magical.   :smt001

-  Another time...  A few years back Domenic and I were fishing out past the Whistle on a beautiful, flat sunny day.  There wasn't much of a sound at all other than the distant purr of the summery, soft shorebreak.  We were drifting herring over the reef hoping for a lingcod or halibut and mostly just enjoying a special time on incredible water in good company. 

Domenic looks over and asks, "Do you hear that?"  And I listen.  I hear it, "Yes" - it's distant, and sounds like a gunshot, or...

We hear it again - both of us at once this time, and we look up, eyes meeting and confirm it with each other.

The inclination is to look toward shore, a mile and a half to the Northeast, where gunfire or explosions may originate at the Cove and echo out in any given direction, but it seems like it's coming from the south...

We listen and hear another "THWACK" in the distance.  Scanning the horizon, Domenic sees it first, then me.  It's a whale that's breaching WAY south of us, toward the Tolo Banks, the Old Man and The Hat.  We watch and listen as it continues to breach.  It's so far away that we see it breach - barely!, and then hear it's impact a second or two later!  It's like at least 1.5 miles south of us, maybe 2.5 or more!!  We were lucky to get to see three or four or more breaches and wait for the sound of impact seconds later each time.  If not for the awesome calm conditions and ability to be at ease and listening for distant sounds with a good friend partnering, these experiences may never have happened - I'd say they would NOT have happened most of the time!

Calm conditions are something you can learn about, watch for, chase, and encounter when lucky - do that.

The ability to be at ease OTW with a partner who would save your life as fast you'd save his or hers...  That's what can really make the magic happen.   :smt001

Last Shelter Cove whale story for the night: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTsmNLagOjU

I will close this post with this:  you don't just go out past the Whistle Buoy.  You learn where it is, what happens there, how weather can change there, what the forecast is...  I'm never advocating doing anything other than spending years studying it so you can get lucky for a few hours and encounter the time of your life on it.

That's the reality.   :smt001

From this weeks WON report in the Sac Bee - did someone say salmon........

SHELTER COVE — Charter boat, C’Mon, skippered by locally renowned captain Jared Morris, joined the local fleet and is ready for the season. Salmon were seen jumping, which always gets adrenaline to pumping. Jetty fishers were seen catching perch, greenling and cabezon.

I can't remember ever catching a salmon at Shelter Cove.  I don't think they exist.

Eric-

Back in the days of the old parking lot at black sands beach before it washed out, I went on a hike up the beach to buck creek, then up the ridge trail.  It was November break from college, probably 1991.  Our group pitched camp at buck creek, waited until dark then a bit longer for the waning but still large moon to rise over the ridge, then headed up the trail by moonlight.  It was crystal clear and quite cold.  Ad we made our way up the ridge trail, we had no idea the treat we were in for.  We could see the lights below from shelter cove, then a bit further down the coast to Fort Bragg.  As we got higher we saw even more lights all the way down the coast, and an intense light out over the water.  It took a few minutes to realize that we were seeing the lights of the SF bay area refracting off of the water, intensely bright on the horizon.  It was a special night in a special place.

Getting jazzed for the cove!

Awesomeness, Doug.  I love being able to see a long way out of the wilderness while being deep inside of it.   :smt001

I hiked down Buck Creek Trail from the ridge once way back in the late 80's - that was all I wanted of that!  Just coming down that 3000 of steepness had the tops of my quads just ripping by the time we hit the beach (with 90 pound packs!   :smt005).  That was the only time I've ever seen a mountain lion - it was a dry carcass.  The place is way wild.

Last year, I did not feed my son before we went on the water, and did not give him any scopase.  :smt011 He did not last long enough to get a single bite. I stayed out long enough to get a keeper ling @ 22 3/64" so that he could have a ling fillet to grill up. This year is going to be different, I can hardly wait.

More whale tales...

Twice over the years I've seen, from the launch ramp, a whale breach vertically almost completely out of the water between the bell buoy and the lighthouse.  At the time I thought, "I've spent so much time right there - would they do that if I was there?..."

Good orca story from four years ago here:

Title: BS Squid on board for GS8!
Post by: LoletaEric on February 08, 2014, 11:09:30 AM
Had a great visit with LaWana Schulz this morning - I went to high school with her and Kelly - they're the owners of B2 Squid, and their tackle has become world renowned for its effectiveness on many game species - notably, Pacific Halibut, Salmon and Lingcod.  What better gear could there be for the Gimme Shelter schwag bags?!

Paired with Domenic's killer GS Special leadheads, we will see some special fish caught on the schwag tackle.

Do you have a separate thread for the hike and dive?

Was just thinking about a list of what to bring and what not to bring.
I would also think that the fat Wheelez are a must.

There is a separate thread, Antonio, but we can discuss it here.  I say pack light!  3 miles each way is a lot of ground to cover.  If you're bringing anything on wheels they HAVE to be sand wheels.  I'll be bringing just my wetsuit with hood and mask/snorkel - no weightbelt.

Learning to Ab Dive - Abalone Point, 1989

Going to school at Davis in the late 80's I'd travel north with new friends to explore the forest, rivers and coastline that I'd grown up around.  It wasn't until I'd left Humboldt for college that I fully realized how awesome it is up here, and my buddies helped me discover how cool my home area was too by jumping on board for any trips up 101.

My older brother was up at HSU at the time and involved with the dive program.  He'd called to invite me and some buddies up to Shelter Cove for abalone diving.  Although I'd grown up around the sport, I'd not done any diving at that point.  I left Davis with two friends who also lacked diving experience, but we were all stoked about learning.  We cruised north in my 1987 Nissan Sentra, arriving at the Cove and driving right down onto Black Sands Beach where we tent camped for free at the south end of the Lost Coast - that was before they closed vehicle access to the beach there.  It was the good old days!

After a wild night of too many brews and fun around the campfire, we crashed out to get some rest for the next day's dive adventure.  My bro had lots of rag-tag diving equipment, so the next morning he outfitted us in suits, booties, gloves, hoods, mask/snorkel, fins and weightbelts, and we were ready to go.  We drove from Black Sands back to the lighthouse area, made our way down a dirt trail and got in the water just offshore of where The Tides is now - it was just a vacant lot at that point.  In about ten feet of water getting used to the mask and snorkel and practicing breath hold came pretty easily as I'd always been a swimmer, but we weren't finding any abalone.  It was an experience issue, because there are lots of abs at that location!

My brother was getting bored with the spot, so we all hauled out and drove up the road to Abalone Point at the north end of the airstrip and the most exposed point to the prevailing northwest swell.  Although it was a pretty calm day, the surge at Ab Point can get pretty hairy, and the underwater geography there is insanely complex, with cavernous bedrock features that feel like they'll swallow you up while looking around below the surface.  The diving was much deeper here - 15 to 20 feet right off the rocks.  After getting used to diving that deep and actually having some time to look around for abalone, I started seeing a few.  My brother had instructed me on how they clamp down hard and the need for decisive moves with the iron, but I wasn't ready for the amazing strength of these animals!  I found one and tried to get my iron under it, but it sucked down too quickly, and I was out of breath.  I made for the top, got a breath, looked around and called out to my brother:  "I found one!  I tried to pull it off the rock, but it sucked down!"  He quickly snaps back, "Did you put your iron under it?!  If you did then you probably killed it!" 

So here I am, thinking the surge was going to kill me, and once I did work up the balls to link together a series of dives in twenty feet of water, I commit the cardinal sin of possibly cutting an ab and not retaining it.  I was bummed and actually crying about my poor showing - that was a bit extreme, as, in hindsight, my bro was being harsh!  I persisted and ended up getting an abalone, but I never did find that first one again.  My buddies didn't fare so well - each of them achieving some level of progress with the diving, but neither getting an ab and one of them not diving much at all.  There's just so much to get used to in abalone diving - the constrictive suit, the cold, breath holding, the claustrophobic nature of low visibility water and slithering around amongst rocks on the bottom of the ocean...

We made our way back to Davis after completing our party-dive mission and using all available time in the weekend, and that was the start to what has become such a passion in my life:  the pursuit of activities in, on and around the ocean.  For many years after that I focused on abalone diving and managed to achieve a high level of proficiency and focus.  Seeking out seldom travelled spots along remote beaches became an obsession, and the progression of my skills over the years was paralleled by my decisions regarding how I would go after the amazing animals.  I'll never forget my brother's teaching - as harsh as it was I value the message that we should be prepared and focused on using proper technique when we choose to attempt to harvest ocean wildlife.

No sportsman is perfect, and we all have different learning curves as well as differing levels of discipline regarding how we choose to tread on the wild places that we visit.  I believe that the essence of being a sportsman lies in how we choose to honor the species that we pursue and the wild places where we do it.  There are those who may claim that bringing 100's of people to the Cove for a fishing tournament is incongruent with a desire to preserve, protect and honor, but I say no way!  Inviting my NCKA family to a sacred place like Shelter Cove reflects my desire to share not only the place and its bounty, but also to reveal my true heart for knowing and loving these things.  I believe that knowing and loving is a prerequisite to honoring and protecting, and none of that is out of line with harvest.

I've achieved some special milestones in my outdoors endeavors, and I will always cherish those memories.  The role that I see myself in now is one of mentor and guide.  I want to show the awesomeness of Nature to those who love her like I do, and I want to get across important messages of care and proper form...  without making anyone cry.   :smt005

Looking forward to sharing the Cove with you.   :smt001

Thanks Eric for all of your hard work here.  My brother and I will be attending again this year and this time I will not have to be a guest.  And of course I plan on whipping my brother fishing again this year.

After last year you will always be his bitch....xoxoxoxo

Working on rounding up some nice wood for trough production.  I usually drop $30 to $40 on a 4.5' chunk of full dimension 2 x 8 oldgrowth redwood at the local specialty lumber shop.  This year I decided to try to cut my own at the beach.  I'm making some progress, but so far it's way tougher than it looked!   :smt005 :smt001

Swap meet sounds like a plan - campground has been great for that.

As for "raffles", I know it's kind of a generic term, but I'm having an auction - there's a difference!   :smt001

Silent auction with items on display where everyone can walk through and check them out.  Bids accepted on a sheet of paper per item, each bid higher than the last, cash-pay at the pre-announced end of the auction.  All proceeds go to HOW and PIF on the spot.

Stories from Shelter Cove...

Back in the early 90's when vehicles were still allowed three miles north of the Black Sands Beach Trailhead, I had a focus on getting people on the reef up there during a series of minus tides.  Sound familiar?...   :smt001

Paired with my buddy Rex and his wife and two girls, we hauled gear north three miles to camp at Gitchell Creek.  This trip was the result of much planning and reconnaissance, and we were lucky to hit flat calm water.  We got all of our camping gear up the beach with 2 four wheelers and a trailer, setup camp and partied the afternoon and evening away with excited energy in anticipation of the next morning's minus tide and super flat ocean.

The next day did not disappoint.  We were prepared early and made our way easily onto spots where we'd previously bobbed around and darted swells on less accommodating tides.  Neither swell nor wind were even present that morning, and we had our pick of some untouched abalone.  I picked a limit of four that day, as did a couple of my friends.  All of them were deep 9"+'s, but the one that would've been a big ten had a porous, sponge-attacked shell and broke when picked - it was still almost a ten with a huge part of the end broken off.  We didn't care much - it was a different time - we weren't that focused on the stats...

Don't get me wrong, I did realize that it wasn't a ten because it got broken, and that we hadn't gotten any others.  But it was such a small part of what we were doing - camping out, cooking over a fire, diving, preparing ab in the wilderness - the size of an ab wasn't as big of a deal as I came to know it in later years.

We cooked ab that evening, and we had plenty left in the coolers, having picked so many big abs as a group that morning.  My buddy's wife, Tracy, made a comment at one point about how maybe we didn't need that many abalone.  I will always be thankful for her comment.  We'd gotten giddy about hitting a great tide with calm water on a pristine spot, and we mowed through a bunch of 9"+'s in a spot where I came to know later had 10's very nearby...  Not that the size of the abs should be the focus!

I understand the allure, and I know the glory and satisfaction of achieving the ten inch ab.  I want to see others achieve that. 

The message I mean to impart here is that we shouldn't just be waiting for that rare opportunity where the flat ocean, low tide and our good timing allow us to pounce on something.  Instead we should look at every outing as one where we can learn and hopefully further our knowledge of that area and skill with the environment in that situation, and we should hope to achieve the restraint that's needed to avoid falling into the temptation of harvesting something just because it's easy.  I'm telling you now, from experience, that is one of the best lessons of sportsmanship.

I don't want to be a hypocrite, and I hope for all to achieve their goals and to grow as they progress in their pursuits.  I'm just saying that the earlier in your outdoorsman career that you can work through the need to kill in order to feel satisfied with your day, the better off you'll be.  For me it's a spiritual thing, and I harvest whenever I want to.  It's about that.  Harvest when you want to - not just because you have the opportunity to.

Thanks for reading through my rant.   :smt001

Just put in the time off at work (some how I've accumulated 120 hours vacation time...) - will be sending my registration and check soon. Might be bringing a fellow yaker from work this time. If you haven't gone to GS, you need to. This event epitomises everything good about our sport...good times! I can't wait! The only bad thing about GS is that its too short!!! This year I'm coming early and leaving late!

Title: Re: Gimme Shelter Eighth Annual - What will you catch?
Post by: LoletaEric on March 05, 2014, 07:29:11 AM
Sometimes late at night I'll have the urge to write about Shelter Cove...   :smt001

Just yesterday I met someone who'd never been there, and she's a lifelong Eureka resident.  She did recently go, and she expressed how awesome it was for her and her Dad to experience the beach, the ocean, the hills, the weather, offshore whales, and everything else that defines that unique spot along the Lost Coast.  I then suggested that she needs to get on a kayak to go chase those whales!

When I talk to locals who've never been there or who have only recently discovered it, I imagine their perception of the Cove, and I base that on my own, of course.  There's really nowhere comparable to it, and that's my first thought every time - "does this person realize how very unique Shelter Cove is?!" 

For those who have not been there, Shelter Cove is situated directly on the ocean at the base of a high ridge, with rocky shoreline jutting out and stretching about a mile between very different sand beaches.  To the north, the Lost Coast Trail starts along Black Sands Beach from Telegraph Creek where a dangerous shorebreak threatens any type of ocean user - the popular backpacking trail covers 25 miles from there, north to the mouth of the Mattole River near Petrolia.  On the south end of the rocky escarpment, Shelter Cove's namesake formation is characterized by a much different black sand beach where a southeast-facing shallow dropoff allows for easy launching, boogieboarding and surfing just east of the ramp, and nice access for vehicles and hikers to enjoy the beach between high tides.

So very much of the mystique of the Cove is about that time between high tides - look into that, and you'll be rewarded.

Once you experience a hot day down in the Cove and out of the north wind, with gentle little world class boogieboarding waves rolling in, and boat traffic is so easy in and out of the ramp...  You really can't beat the feel of being in the Cove for that type of outdoors activity.  The place bustles.  It humms.  With two m's. 

Reading this with a goal of being objective, I would advise this:  if you experience the Cove at its coldest, wettest, sandiest, skunkiest,...etc., then please keep trying - you have a good chance of encountering a special outcome.    :smt001

Up on the coastal escarpment the local layout is very appealing and functions as a resort for the resourceful fisherman and camper - a "kayakfisherman" is really not better suited for any other place, IMO.  The fish cleaning station is right there.  The campground and deli are right there.  The motels and Inns are right there.  The local restaurant and grocery scene makes it possible to subsist on the ocean with the best of side dishes on demand, if the conditions allow - by that I mean to say that with flat water, some spices, and a means of cooking, you can enjoy the best of rockfish, lingcod, abalone, salmon...etc., and whatever you get from the local food scene is a wonderful side dish!  Or, if it's rough or you don't have luck in your diving and fishing, you can be assured of good nourishment in the local eateries - the fish and chips at the Campground and Deli is well worth the $10+

Sorry to ramble, but it's all true.   :smt001

I hear you Eric.  Fell in love with this magical place the very first time I set foot there!  Bought my first lot on Sea View on that same day with intention to build my vacatlion/get away house some day.  Met lots of wonderful people who lives in the cove and building a great community.  Can't wait to be back there in May!!!

Wish I was Eric but the wife starts coaching the swim team in May and daughter is still gonna be in Bakersfield. GS9 I will bring my daughter. Might bring Harvey (Hot Rod)(father-in-law) again if he can handle staying in camp. Either way I am so excited to be back in the cove.

Want to say thanks for all you do and how welcome you make everyone feel.

Wish I was Eric but the wife starts coaching the swim team in May and daughter is still gonna be in Bakersfield. GS9 I will bring my daughter. Might bring Harvey (Hot Rod)(father-in-law) again if he can handle staying in camp. Either way I am so excited to be back in the cove.

Want to say thanks for all you do and how welcome you make everyone feel.

Thanks, James!   :smt001

You and Harvey had great Gyotaku prints!   :smt001

Eric, your passion for this place speaks volumes about the extraordinary nature of it as well as the success of the Gimme Shelter Events.

I don't remember anyone ever complaining about a GS event (other than a couple isolated campground incidents). Even when wx conditions got in the way, I doubt anyone regretted being up there.

I'm looking forward to the hike and bringing a poke pole this year to take advantage of the low tides.

James, you gotta convince Harvey to go up.

Post by: LoletaEric on March 08, 2014, 11:19:53 PM
Huge advice for anyone hoping to be ready for what can be a tough bite at Shelter Cove:  learn to fish a hard tied barbless circle hook rig.  They're not available to buy that I've seen, so you have to tie your own.  If I'm not mistaken, the distance between the EYE of top hook and the CURVE of the bottom hook can't exceed 5" - these are not tough rigs to tie, and a proper one is surprisingly short on space to hook a herring or even an anchovy.  I posted up some rigs that I tied up last year, and Scott - the master, GreatBass - replies, "those look too big" (as in too much line between the hooks).  I was like, "I don't think so, I measured 'em..."  Damn if they weren't all but one too big!  I wasn't being precise enough, and by the time I corrected all of them I couldn't believe what compact rigs they were - that's not good for hooking a bait when you come from the "mooching slip rig" school.  Anyway, I hate working with the rig I'm describing with two circle hooks hard tied and no more than 5" apart, but it's what you need to have on your line in order to legally catch a salmon with bait if you're not trolling - or just one barbless circle hook...  That's what I'm talking about here - to legally catch a salmon with bait OTHER than trolling.  If you're trolling then you're able to use the slip rig, which is my mainstay - that's why I'm almost always trolling.  I get bored sitting in one place anyway...   :smt001

Is there anyone who might be willing and able to tie up a bunch of the legal mooching rigs and sell them as a donation to "the cause"?  I'm not that good with knots but will certainly be able to tie enough for me but it would be cool to have another option and a a fund raiser too.  Just a thought!  ???????  This would need to be a "side activity" and not add to the work already being done by Eric and others working the tourney.  The only tie to the event would be the passing of the money to the charity.

Post by: matanaska on March 09, 2014, 03:16:48 PM
Personally, I wouldnt worry much about having a barbless circle hook rig because because your more likely to catch one trolling.  Another option for those not wanting to troll is to use a knife jig, speed jig, or iron with one barbless hook of yourthe choice on0 the bottom.  Charter boats do it as well as last year's AOTY champ, Adam, who caught his this way near where salmon are made at the red whistler.  Why limit yourself when mooching to the 5inch barbless circle rule when your chances of hooking a salmon are less.  Go with what you want, but from experience and talking to other guys who fish salmon in Shelter Cove, it is more common to troll or work barbless jigs to get salmon than mooching.  This years salmon bite may be tough with NOAA predicting an El Nino year which will bring in more warmer water.  That being said, trolling, going deep and finding cooler water will produce better results with salmon.  Chances are you will need to cover more ground or get to deeper water to increase your chances in hooking up with a salmon.  I will post my trip reports with info to help you find em once the season opens next month.  If the weather allows, I should log several kayak and a few boat trips for salmon before GS8.

Sorry to hear that, Jim.  You'll always be part of GS - when you argued with me about your lingcod being longer than my Hawg Trough with extension said it was I was like, "Dude, I'm right..."

Then you were adamant, and I was like, "Dude!  I'm ...  wha?...  Oh...  I'm wrong!"   :smt005

My stretched out extension being used on the "official" measuring of fish was measuring fish over 30" short!!  OMG!! 

Thank you, Bro, for adding to the quality of GS by pushing me to use full sized Trophy Troughs since then.   :smt001

I also want to salute you, Jim, for being a strong member of the community here, huge part of the Sac area contingent, and all around great guy and fishing partner.  Your most important and respected position though would be Dad to Henry the Great  - WTG, Bro. Keep in touch.   :smt001

PS:  It was about a 38" lingcod if I remember correctly - GS4 or GS5...

I also want to salute you, Jim, for being a strong member of the community here, huge part of the Sac area contingent, and all around great guy and fishing partner.  Your most important and respected position though would be Dad to Henry the Great  - WTG, Bro. Keep in touch.   :smt001

PS:  It was about a 38" lingcod if I remember correctly - GS4 or GS5...

LOL! I remember that...it was the rainy cold wet year...think GS5. I was standing right there and saw the whole thing!  :smt003

Hope to see you back there next year Jim!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

It won't be the same without you, Bro, but you gotta make the journey that your family needs.  We'll be thinking about you guys. 

If there's some way you can make it - hopefully with Kris and Brenda - we'd all love to spend the time with you.   :smt001

So, check it out...

Kokatat is coming through in a big way at Gimme Shelter Eighth Annual Kayakfishing Tournament.  The Sportsman of the Day, determined by highest catch and release score in the tournament (all fish released), will receive a new t3 Supernova Angler Drysuit!  Bring your skills, determination, ability and desire.  You'll need them all against the field that's assembling.   :smt001

I did not plan on keeping fish Tourney day anyway to go with the spirit of the day. I sure will like that dry suit.

Post by: LoletaEric on March 14, 2014, 11:23:47 PM
That will be a common misperception, Rob.  You can keep fish - it's just your scoring that needs to be C&R, and you only get the C&R bonus if you didn't keep a larger fish of that species.

Theoretically...  You could catch and release a 30" lingcod - 30 x 5 points per inch = 150 plus 30 bonus points for the release and good photo on a trough.  Then keep a 29" lingcod or two.  Catch and release a 20" rockfish - 20 x 7 = 140 plus 20 bonus points.  Then keep a limit of rockies under 20"...  Same thing for cabs and greenling.  Then, you could catch and KEEP either or both of halibut and salmon.

That's the way to win Sportsman of the Day, very likely Angler of the Day, and get to keep some great fish if you want to, of course!   :smt001

GS3 was 45 of us I think - informal tournament with no entry fee and some donated prizes.  Jedmo won with a 56" wolf eel.
GS4 was 83 of us I think - first formal tournament format with a yak for a prize.  Big Jim won a T15.
GS5 was around 120 of us.  Terry won an Ocean Kayak (what model was that?...)
GS6 was around 153 of us.  Jim Jackson won an RTM Abaco.
GS7 was 193 of us.  Jim Jackson won a Jackson Cuda.
GS8...  Someone will win a Malibu X-Caliber for AOTD.  Someone will win a WS T140 for longest lingcod (can't be AOTD too).  Someone will win a kokatat hydrus 3l supernova angler drysuit for highest catch and release only score (CAN be AOTD or big ling too).

While I'm at it, "highest catch and release only score" CAN include a KEPT salmon and/or KEPT halibut.

I'll go over it again later...

Question tho. I'm just curious, how are we supposed to know that every 150+ anglers didn't  kept there biggest fish? Honor system? If so, that's kool.
Great Job Eric, your Love, Passion, and Hardwork for your tournys is no doubt seen and appreciated by us all who also love this sport. Really looking forward to seeing and experiencing The Cove again but with Christina and Fam.  :smt007

Yes, Ricci, the biggest fish thing is honor system, in regards to only getting the catch and release bonus if you didn't keep a bigger one of that species.

Format review for GS8:

AOTD goes to highest scoring angler with points per inch for salmon, halibut, lingcod (5 points/inch each), rockfish and cabs (7 points/inch) and greenling (11 I think...).  AOTD receives a new Malibu X-Caliber fishing kayak.

C&R bonus with photo on trough containing element to be announced Friday evening before the tourney.  Bonus only awarded if you didn't keep a bigger fish of that species (honor system).  Bonus equals one point per inch of the released fish.  Release the 30" lingcod that was your largest of the day, get the required photo with element, get 150 points at 5 points/inch PLUS 30 bonus points.

SOTD - Sportsman of the Day has the highest C&R-only score (CAN keep salmon and/or halibut as there are no C&R bonuses for those species).  SOTD gets a new Kokatat drysuit.

Longest lingcod, either measured at check-in or clearly represented in the photo with element, receives a Wilderness Systems T140.

AOTD can be SOTD, but AOTD cannot win longest lingcod -  it's one or the other.

Longest lingcod CAN win SOTD.

Other prizes/donated art/gear...etc. go in a silent auction to be held at the potluck, and all proceeds go to HOW and PIF - two charitable groups well represented within NCKA.

Trophies:  10" abalone with custom artsy 'tag' for AOTD, SOTD, Longest Lingcod and maybe big salmon.  Redwood Trophy Trough to AOTD.  Other custom work TBA.

The main point of Gimme Shelter:  gather with good friends to enjoy a spectacular section of the Nor Cal coast.

To clarify, if someone wins AOTD and catches the largest lingcod--they can't take home both kayaks.
BUT can they choose which kayak/category...e.g., that person chooses the largest lingcod prize (T140), so the AOTD prize (Malibu X-calibur) would then go to whoever was 2nd in AOTD?

Good catch. That leaves room for some serious shenanigans. The choice should have to be made prior to the event.  The easiest is probably to say that AOTD must take the xcal.

To clarify, if someone wins AOTD and catches the largest lingcod--they can't take home both kayaks.
BUT can they choose which kayak/category...e.g., that person chooses the largest lingcod prize (T140), so the AOTD prize (Malibu X-calibur) would then go to whoever was 2nd in AOTD?

Good catch. That leaves room for some serious shenanigans. The choice should have to be made prior to the event.  The easiest is probably to say that AOTD must take the xcal.

Enlighten me on these 'serious shenanigans' - I'm naive about such things!   :smt005

I see it like this:  IF someone wins AOTD and ALSO had the longest lingcod that person would have to decide whether they're AOTD or not - if they deny the title then they get the WS T140, and whoever had second place in the AOTD points would win the Grand Prize Malibu X-Caliber.  In effect, the longest lingcod winner would be precluded from winning AOTD by claiming longest lingcod.  The other side of the coin is IF somone wins AOTD and ALSO had the longest lingcod and they stuck with the AOTD title (more likely due to prestige and a few more trophies, I'd say) then the second longest lingcod would win the T140.

After writing that I can see that a possible situation could develop where a participant chose which prize they wanted based on who would get the one they didn't take...  I'll be considering this.

It's already the case that I'm 90% sure I won't have everyone on a scoreboard this year.  As much as I loved making the scoreboards and having everyone's name and many reported catches up on the boards, it's too much work and eats way too much time and energy during scoring.  Instead, I'll be overseeing the scoring process and collecting all completed scorecards.  I'll keep them in order of highest score, and I'll keep notes on longest lingcod and catch and release only scores.  So the status of the scoring will be concealed until the awards, but anyone hanging around the scoring will likely have an idea of who the leaders are.  Sounds like I may need to be ready to ask high scorers which title they'd want if they end up with highest score AND longest lingcod...

Open to ideas here, but I'm not worried about it.  It'll be good.

This.  Exactly this.  Money could even trade hands.  It should be predetermined so this doesn't happen.

Also, I really like the board.  I'm willing to help with the board if I can haul my smoker to the dinner site so I can tend it.

BOARD?  I BARELY fit all the names on two 4x8 sheets LAST year!!   :smt005

I must take the advice of my lawyer...  My NO Man!   :smt001

OK - You're on, Doug.  You are the board tender.  I'll buy the boards, line them out, fill in all the names and put the cool little fish icons on there.  You fill in the scores from the sheets I'll provide.

To remedy the bigger issue, I'll be considering my options...  For now I'll say that everyone must accept AOTD if their score is highest.  Since someone may wait in the wings near scoring in order to manipulate the winners based on how they see it stacking up, I do want to keep the scoreboards concealed until they're completed.

I'll be giving this much thought.  Thanks for the assistance.

I thought on this, and I feel that I have a good grasp on where someone could possibly try to cheat the system.  On top of this, I feel that the spirit of the event is very high, and it's unlikely someone will try to manipulate the system.  (not to mention unlikely that the AOTD would have the longest lingcod, but I do like having a lawyer and NO Man   :smt001)

This is the rule:  If you try to manipulate the score in any way you are subject to immediate disqualification.  Scores turned in are final and are expected to be accurate and complete.

If someone has the wherewithal to work out a deal in the face of that and a concealed scoreboard then it's beyond my tracking abilities and desires.

Issue solved.   :smt001

Any idea what capacity will be? 150 -175 - 200 entrants? Wouldn't be surprised if another 100+ family members are there too. I know a couple newer members that are on the fence. Their fault if they wait too long to register, but this being such a great event, I would hate to see anyone miss out if a last minute registration flood causes the event to reach"capacity".

There is a member whose ncka name is Da Bruddah.  Michael doesn't post much.  I ran met him at Alameda Rock Wall last week and he wants to go to GS8.  His ride is as Hobie Oasis Tandem.  He is experienced in the ocean and says he has all the safety equipment.  I am already sponsoring a person or I would sponsor him.  Is there anyone that would like to sponsor him?

I would prefer to be in a larger team, but would a tandem count as a team?

Bruddah's good to go, and people can sponsor more than one person.

Isao - a tandem is a team, but I would like you both to have radios if possible.  Also, you should be able to get on a bigger team - just post a thread up.  Advertise that you and your wife caught that huge salmon last summer and you shouldn't have any problem attracting teammates.   :smt001

A big salmon was caught today at the Cove by a NCKA newbie.  It was the biggest brought in today and nearly 200 pts if it was tourney day.  Caught with wm apex behind a 4 oz double deep six 40ft down. It was their first salmon, biggest fish for this person and first fish on a virgin rod.

Better bring a big net this year.  The hogs are coming....   :smt003

Nice ones Josh :smt001  I originally planned to go by kayak too.  I had all my gear ready, but when my friend said he hasn't gone out since we went Tuesday and Adrienne was able to go, I decided on a boat trip though she did want to go on the kayaks.  We still needed to get her a net and radio so I thought it would be better to go with a pro on his boat so Adrienne could learn a lot in a short amount of time.  As the picture shows she nailed it down.

I know right where this fish was caught, but Im not giving the spot up.   :smt044

I will tell you it was caught using a 4oz double deep six and a beat up 4.5" watermelon apex

Biggest salmon brought in Sunday. 38" and 25lbs on the DFW scale.  Plan on the game warden being there as I was checked 3 times last week.  Once on boat, once on kayak, and on land after the second boat trip.

I can't wait for Shelter Cove!  Some of my best NCKA memories are of that place - chilling at the campground, great fishing, locals firing gunshots/fireworks on the beach, the time we met the "fire chief" of Shelter Cove . .   

Well I'm in for GS8 and bringing a buddy from TX as well.  We're leaving San Antonio on 5/11 - gonna do some pre-fishing on the way out.  Look forward to seeing some of you again and meeting some of the new folks as well.

I can keep track of the team scoring again.

I can't wait for Shelter Cove!  Some of my best NCKA memories are of that place - chilling at the campground, great fishing, locals firing gunshots/fireworks on the beach, the time we met the "fire chief" of Shelter Cove . .   

Well I'm in for GS8 and bringing a buddy from TX as well.  We're leaving San Antonio on 5/11 - gonna do some pre-fishing on the way out.  Look forward to seeing some of you again and meeting some of the new folks as well.           




Do you have room in your ride for my uncle in San Antonio. jk :smt003

Right on!!  This means we should have 5 of the original 6 GS participants at the event.  Too bad Hawk had to fall off the radar... 

Looking forward to wrapping up registration over the next few days and seeing where we land for numbers - 220, 230?...  200 at least...

Thanks Adam for doing the Team thing again this year.  My brother and I will be the Bald Eagles again.  For your info I have spotted 2 bald eagles at Folsom Lake recently and yes they were not my brother and myself.  I think they are nesting there as I have seen them for the past month and last week I even saw one swoop down and snag a fish out of the lake.

Technically yesterday.  If you owe, better be postmarked by 4/15.  If Uncle Sam owes you, they generally overlook your tardiness.

GS2 was only a suggested hookup - dozens were poised to commit, but a major weather system nullified the entire event.  Literally no one showed.

GS3 we had a MBF type tourney, but it was free!  We had a few donated prizes (thanks, KayakGreg Mouton), and Jedmo won it with a 56" Wolf Eel!!  He also caught a nice octopus that weekend with Ariel's help.  Dustin had a lingcod that took second (34"?), and I took 3rd with a lingcod around 32"...  Around 45 of us participated.  Domenic caught a Pacific Halibut out by the Whistle the day before the tournament - to my knowledge, this was the first Pac Hali caught from a kayak in California!   :smt007

GS4 it got more official.  Big Jim won AOTD and an Ocean Kayak Trident 15!  There were around 85 of us competing.  Another Pac Hali was caught, but I can't remember who it was right now...

GS5 Terry won it with an awesome 49" Pac Hali on top of a rock/ling scorecard, and there were other halibut landed.

GS6 Jim won it with a nice stringer C&R'd of rockfish, lingcod, cabezon and greenling, and a salmon retained, if I'm not mistaken.  Was a pac hali caught but just not on tourney day?...

GS7  Jim won it again with a nice stringer of C&R'd rockfish, lingcod, cabezon and greenling, and a retained salmon (is this right?  or am I losing my mind?!!  Way to go, Jim!!)   :smt001

Jim,

I'm down for that. Within the area you want to hit, I pulled two hogs ills abs on 11/23 last year on a shore dive. Zack pulled hogs, too. We didn't even cover much water. There are more out there!

Hell yeah bro.

I'll PM you and coordinate. Let's yak dive though. Gives us more options.

Jim

We are now set at 218 participants unless there's a freak April 15th postmark that shows up tomorrow.  ChuckE's April 15th postmark out of San Leandro was a surprise yesterday - the USPS workers there must not be infiltrated by NCKA yet!   :smt005

I'm stoked to welcome you all to this year's event.  Tomorrow the shirt and hoodie order gets placed after design work is finalized with my graphics guy.  I'll post up a preview after that.

The coming weeks will have info flowing here, so please watch the headline for new stuff to review.   :smt001

GS8.1
For anyone who didn't get their entry in over the past 3 months, you now have a chance to win something at GS!! 

Send in your $25 late, and I'll still get you a shirt (guaranteed for first 10 only) but no other schwag unless you're lucky.  I'll accept these up to May 1st, but after that I won't even answer your PM!

The prize:  Six hours OTW guided trip by Abking out of Shelter Cove, Trinidad or Humboldt Bay for salmon this year.  Rockfish and lingcod fallback, halibut potential, high mileage guaranteed.

You just have to have the highest late registrant score AND beat my score.   :smt001

This is not a joke, and I'll post it separately too.  NO DOUBLE ENTRIES (can't be in GS and GS8.1)

I also ordered my 2014 load of Big hammers today.  Everything from 3" to 9" :-D

Out of curiosity Jim, where do you get yours from?  I'm looking to place an order as well.


I like http://CharkBait.com (http://www.CharkBait.com)  Nice people, great website :smt007 and a fantastic selection.  I've looked a lot and the prices on the 5 packs are the best online too.

When I buy from Charkbait I buy 100 at a time. Sell a few to friends and get a great price initially.

Yea sorry guys, too busy to keep up with the tax man. In order to sell them I had to use my resellers license that I no longer have or want. So yea I'm out of that game for now. Sorry, the Charkbait guys are great.

I don't see you on the list, Scud.  Are you saying you sent in recently, or are you going to send in if you can get a shirt? 

If you do send in and I get it BY MAY FIRST then you're entered in GS8.1 and will get a shirt (XL) if you're one of the first 10 to enter GS8.1, and I'll send it with someone like JBaker to get to you.  Let me know what's up here or PM me.  thx   :smt001

Want to take a moment to remind everyone about some problems that could arise if people are unaware.  Not everyone follows the info here, so please pass these important advisories on to anyone who needs to hear it at the event:

- NEVER clean fish in the campground!  There's a fish cleaning station at the top of the ramp road.  Cleaning fish in the campground or other non-fish cleaning areas (hotels and rental houses) can result in disqualification and revocation of future GS attendance.

- DO NOT block the launch ramp!  If you've never been there and don't know the routine it may be easy to overlook that there's a tractor launch service that needs ample space to maneuver and turn around when launching powerboats.  Please remind each other often about staying out of the way of the tractor and other boat launching and landing activity.

Thanks for being mindful of how our presence affects the locals and other visitors to the Cove.   :smt001

don't drop your crab traps/pots right in front of the launch, where the PB's can run over them. Drop them farther down the strand.

Blast from the past right there!

Seriously though...Jack has been super cool and accomodating to us the past several years...

Don't clean fish in the campground and don't get so drunk that you become a jerk.

A lot of the locals are super cool. Some of us now have good friends up there that we look forward to seeing every year.

Play nice and have fun!

Don't forget to be  helpful to others!  Help someone that looks like they need it (or at least offer).

Maybe its with landing, and pulling their yak out of the way of the tractor.  People can be really tired, worn out and need assistance after they land.  It's speed things up and can be really helpful to get a lift out of the way when you land. It can be hard to get up that hill afterwards too. With new guys it could be how to tie a new rig, select a lure, or where they should go fishing for different species.

Oh and yeah, no joking on the radio about things like the locals are having the cars towed...  :smt013

Sounds good, and I second what Al said about the towing. I believe he and FM1 were on the beach during some of this and told us there weren't any tow trucks but a few guys still paddled all the way back in!

That's correct...  We even spoke with the fire department when they came to check the scene on the beach.  They said we were doing an excellent job, and no one had complained to them.  We have to assume it was some boaters trying to screw with us on the radio.  Personally, I will not believe anyone that wont follow up a message without identifying their NCKA call sign too.

Try to keep the, ahem, adult baked goods out of the eye of children who might be tempted. Keeping the northeast corner of the campground as Amsterdam and the northwest corner as Disneyland seems to work well.

Oh I do completely agree!  But please don't go around making it sound like something completely terrible has happened, when it hasn't.  A lot of the people that might be in possession of these or other "goodies" aren't stupid, and a lot of them have children of their own and wouldn't dream of letting something like that happen.

I'm not sure if you're referring to me, but I'd like to speak up about my experience. 

I heard about a particularly potent batch of brownies and we all had a chuckle about it's effects on a couple guys.  About a half an hour later my daughter walked up to an almost finished pan of pineapple upside down cake and looked like she wanted to eat it.  With the story of the brownies still fresh on my mind and in the dark not being able to see clearly what was in the tray she was reaching for, I rushed over to warn her about asking before taking food. 

Looking back, it was silly of me to believe anyone would leave a tray of those brownies out in the open.

That was the extent of my experience.  Maya, my daughter, and I spent most of our time in and around this "northeast" corner and if we had the time to go back to a GS event, I would not hesitate in letting my kids play there again.

This whole brownie story is way over done.  I believe your talking about the ones I brought a couple of years ago.  I brought them to the southeast corner where the partying was going on and I advised the adults that I offered it too.  The tray was NEVER left unattended.  Those were weak compared to some cookies and peanut butter cups I have now that a friend made.  If I make more I will use his method and I will challenge anyone to eat a whole one. :smt003

I don't have kids, but I hang out with people that do and adults that don't partake and have kids too.  I never bring out stuff in front of their kids and sometimes even if the parent permits it.  Its just common sense to not even put yourself in a situation that could get you in trouble with the law. ex.

So, did I tell you about that time when the skunks were sniffing my brother's face?!

You guys are funny.  We need a classic Shelter Cove tale to lighten the moment and clear the smoke!   :smt005

Years ago - probably the mid to late nineties - my family had a reunion down at the Cove.  Several of us were staying at the campground, and others were in local inns and hotels.  It was late around the campfire, near the NW corner on the inside, and my buddy Mark and I were enjoying the embers of the fire.  We were buzzed out and enjoying it, and my brother had already turned in - electing to crash with a sleeping bag right on the ground next to the fire. 

So he's snoozing away on the far side of the fire from us, and we see something approach him.  My first instinct is to raise my voice, get his attention, and warn him of danger, but as the critter is right next to his face I refrain from speaking out.  Mark and I can now clearly see that it's a skunk that is sniffing my brother's face!  We sit there across the fire from this crazy scene, trying to hold back the chuckles.  We sat there busting up silently for a minute as the skunk literally sniffed my brother's face several times, then it moved along.

The campground seems to have undergone several generational changes over the past 20 years and more, with possums, deer, raccoons and sometimes bears taking turns as the dominant critters of the camp.  So be ready for anything.   :smt001

That bear was crazy. It got in to fisheducators cooler the was up next to his tent while he was sleeping in the tent. His head was maybe 8" from the cooler, he thought it was a drunk NCKA'er looking for beer. The really scary one was last years tweeker with a bow walking around with a nocked arrow saying he was going to get the bear. Got to love the cove, reminds me of baja but with trees.

That tweaker from last year has me cracking up when he chased down that bear with a kids bow and arrow.  My brother and I kept our flashlights on him the whole time while he stalked it.  Out on the runway he actually shot it.  The arrow bounced off the bear and the bear ran off with him chasing it.  What an idiot. 

Then of course I can't forget earlier in the night when he wanted to show us how strong he was by doing a one arm headstand push up.  When he was done someone said "DAMN... Meth makes you strong". We were all laughing our asses off.

It's happening down at the Cove.  Salmon up to 20 pounds have been caught consistently since the opener 3 weeks ago.  The fish have been 60 to 70 feet down, and almost anything has been getting bit.  That's not to say that it's easy to get bit, but if you put in your time with a nice presentation you have a great chance of hooking up a 10 to 20 pounder.

Some common successful bait and tackle:

- Watermelon Apex (WMA) - this is run all alone behind a sinker release, DeepSix, downrigger or banana weight, or you can put it behind a flasher.  The advantages can be less rockfish and lingcod and knowing that you still have an attractive offering even after getting hit.

- Other Apex's known to get hit:  green and pearl, black and white...  Any color could be it.

- Spoons - silver, silver and blue, hammered, shiny...  they work, but, again, you never know what they're biting.

- Brad's Cutplug - pick a color, watch how your leader length affects the spin, pinch a half a chovie in the compartment...

- Herring or anchovies, either with or without a hoochie.

- A hoochie by itself over a slip rig or a single hook

I've said this every year for GS, and it's become more and more important for each of the past few years as the salmon action has picked up:

- consider running gear that will be legal if you catch a salmon, and remember that a very basic bait near the bottom can catch ALL species.  It's taking a chance to go barbless on your shrimpfly and leadhead as you may lose more fish, but salmon have hit those things, and you don't want to have to release a nice salmon because of illegal gear...

Pacific halibut season opens this Thursday, and I'm hoping to be down there for it.  Will report back here on NCKA!   :smt003

Really appreciate the info Eric. I'm due for a salmon this year (fingers crossed).
I'm a huge fan of fishing barbless on all my swim baits and hex bars.
I get better hook penetration and I have not noticed any difference between lost fish either way.
Keep the pressure on and you'll be fine.
Plus if you go barbless and are fortunate to get that salmon on your swimbait you get to keep it.

Plus if you go barbless and are fortunate to get that salmon on your swimbait you get to keep it.

Zactly!   :smt001  I hope you get one, Mike. 

I can't say enough about how disappointing it can be to pull up a salmon on gear that's not legal for that fish. 

Please don't get confused about the circle hook thing here too - that rig is only if you're using bait and not trolling.  In referring to swimbaits, leadheads, shrimpflies...etc., as long as you aren't using bait it just has to be single barbless - not circle and not fixed no more than 5" apart.

Also, remember that it's very common to catch lots of blacks and lingcod while trolling at the Cove.  The winner of the tourney could possibly just troll!  Even the greenies and cabs have been known to hit trolled gear.

Last, I hooked up and fought a large halibut while trolling at like 24 pulls in 45 to 55 FOW...  You never know what will hit, and that's part of what makes the Cove so special.   :smt001

Eric, you sold me early last year. I don't even carry barbed hooks with me anymore when salmon is open. Bonus is fewer lost iron jigs since they dons snag up as easily as the barbed trebles.

I caught a small cabezon trolling for salmon at the cove this year.  :smt006

Where do you think the best bets for halibut are? I've tried west of the airport to no avail during both incoming and out going tides.

Steve - west of the airport is a great spot for all species, and out past the Whistle is too.  As long as you're in at least 40 FOW you have a chance...

Time to find where the big flatties are hanging out.  Tomorrow are the mini size dabs and maybe a halibut will chomp on one so I know there around.  Then Thursday its the hunt for the big ones.  Oh and Im sure a chrome or two or three ill be caught too.  Perch by the beach too.  I should start my AOTY chase now with a 200pt fish.

Sarge - remember that song from the 70's, "the Pusher Man"?  I'm not sure it was from the 70's, and I'm not sure it was called the Pusher Man, but it went like this:

"God Damn!  The Pusher Man..." 

When it comes to going barbless and focusing all your effort on salmon, I am the Pusher Man.   :smt006

I think the vast majority of participants will fish conventional rockfish/lingcod gear nearer to shore and especially around kelp, and I don't expect many to go barbless. 

I just like to get the message out there loud and clear:  it's very possible to hook a salmon (with as many hooks as we get in the water that day, SOMEONE is going to hook a salmon), so BE READY.

My aim is to help all anglers realize the goal of hooking and legally landing and keeping a salmon, as well as sending a clear message that if you land and keep a salmon you had better have used the legal gear.  No one's looking to get deputized by DFW and start an investigation, but if a salmon catch sounds fishy (witnesses stating it wasn't legal mooching gear/not barbless/treble...etc.) that person should expect some scrutiny from the scoring team as well as possibly affecting a DQ decision.  I'm not trying to get heavy about this, but I feel it's a huge issue that everyone needs to understand:  our club and Gimme Shelter will not tolerate an illegally retained fish as part of a tournament or any other association with the club.  We are honorable to each other, the species we pursue, and ourselves.

I'll step off my soap box now.  Thank you.   :smt001

Shirt preview - I'm not after something intricate or very artsy.  I'm more into consistency and icons...

The tourney issue black t has the NCKA "linghead vector" on the front in orange (not seen here but same as all years) and the tourney info graphic in orange on the back as seen here.

The long sleeve white shirt is the usual with the black linghead vector on the front and orange rimmed with black on the back.

The hoodies are  the same as the black t's but they're royal blue.

The Gyotaku shirts are white and have the yakker image in orange rimmed with black on the front at the chest pocket and the kanji with Gimme Shelter Gyotaku on the back at the top middle in sapphire.

The Hike and Dive shirts also have the small orange with black yakker image at the chest pocket, and the Hike and Dive graphic on the back as seen here in sapphire.

We're gonna be like an army.   :smt001

I feel it's too early, but thanks for that image, Doug.

We can start getting some confidence in forecasts 7 days prior, IMO.  Stormsurf should give us a good indicator of trend and potential swell size.

Not to curse us, but it's been fishable about 80% or more of the season so far!  Today was out of this world.   :smt004

Keep your fingers crossed.   :smt001

I have only targeted pacific halibut a few times out of Shelter Cove.  I tend to hit the 200ft+ water.  Yesterday no one at the Cove got a halibut.  Many spiny dogfish sharks were caught.  I caught one around 6ft that broke the tip off my Trevalia and then broke the line taking a brand new $40 halibut rig with it.  Shelter cove is the only place I have caught the spiny dogfish sharks.  Maybe they are in closer...  I got some more good leads where to get them from the local commercial fisherman Sammie.  I wont give that info up yet :smt044, but I can tell you that the best crabbing would be in 70ft of water out in front of the airstrip.  Male crabs have been hard to come by here up north this year so you got to work hard to get them.

We didn't get a picture of the big one, but this one was 39".

I spoke to the owner of the campground recently - Jack Sanford.  He's a great guy and has been really accommodating to our needs for years.  I misspoke to say the camping in the group area is $20 each per night - it's $22, and that took effect last year.  Also, that deal is only for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.  If you're staying at the campground other nights you'll have to work that out with the campground.  If you need more info you can call them - Shelter Cove Campground and Deli - it's in Google.
 
Jack has always been generous with the group area, hoses for us to clean gear outside at dedicated tables, and now he's allowing that we'll have the awards potluck there at his new pavilion right outside the deli.  Jack has these concerns, and I need everyone to please help get the word to others in the campground and at the party:

- NEVER clean fish in camp - there's a fish processing area right at the top of the ramp access road. 
- NEVER leave fish carcasses or partial carcasses in the campground trash or anywhere in the campground.
- DO NOT clean wetsuits or other gear in the showers/bathrooms - there are outside hoses and dedicated areas provided for it around the camp.
- DO NOT fail to be up front and responsible about paying your share to the campground.  Anyone who skates on paying is making the club look really bad.  Don't get banished from GS!  (I'm feeling all mean and nasty!   :smt003)

Regarding GS8.1, no one signed up, so it's a smashing success!   :smt005  (not kidding)

That means I have 10 XL blue shirts with the same orange ink that the black tourney t's have, and they match the hoodies which are blue with the orange.  If you want a shirt they're $20.

That's it for now.  Thanks for tuning in.   :smt001

You should post a link to that video again. Definitely in my top 10 NCKA moments!

A few flounder have been caught from shore during GS. I'm thinking I'll make a shallow water drift parallel to the southern beach shore, Thurs or Friday, to see if I can pick up some. We used to catch them up to 6-8 pounds. Anybody had luck at Shelter kayak fishing for Starry Flounder.

I caught a 24" starry flounder in 60 ft of water while trolling for salmon and I wasn't on the bottom.

Already done. We jumped from third in saltwater back to our regular home at 1st passing the Bridgeport guys who have already started catching rockfish.  Quotas for rockfish should be filled for our team after GS8.  Maybe salmon too and of course sand dabs.

She asked what bring for the pot luck, and I couldn't find the thread. Is it just me or are we missing a pot luck thread?
Either way, getting excited and having a hard time sleeping.

I'd be there at 4am and have to move people aside to get the crew in, and sure enough people would flash hands and mouth open open open through the window.

lol people.

Derrick's right - we hand out lots of gear Thursday and Friday.  The Friday safety meeting at the launch is a good place to get it if we haven't seen you before then.

We should arrive at Shelter Cove by midday Thursday.

I'll put the full lineup of gear out in the sunshine tomorrow and get some good pics to post up.  I'm happy with how it all turned out.  My printers are a cool couple that I met about 6 years ago through work, and they've been great to work with.  My designs are very basic and always incorporate the "yakker image" which is derived from a silhouette photo that I took of my buddy Art at the Cape back in '07.  The Gyotaku shirt has the yakker image on the front chest pocket - orange rimmed with black - as does the Hike and Dive shirt, so all of the gear is tied together through that motif.  The Gyo shirt has a Kanji on the back in sapphire, and the Hike and Dive shirt has an original design with an abalone - both of these were provided by our clubmate, Aaron / Seachumm - thanks, Buddy!   :smt001

Looking forward to getting it in the hands of the tournament field.  It completely filled my truckbed!!   :smt005

Great question, Evan.  I'm not big on the mouth having to be closed, and grips/hooks/fingers in mouth don't bother me either.  As long as it doesn't look like someone's trying to get more than they deserve out of a fish it'll be fine.  If it looks like the mouth is extended we can round down.

The required element will be announced Friday at the safety meeting, and that part will be strict.

Not sure if you mean get one while diving or get one at GS - either way, they're cool items that still intrigue me even after spending a couple decades with them.   :smt001

There will be five opportunities to win one at GS:

AOTD - highest score across the six species;
SOTD - highest catch and release only score (can retain salmon and halibut - can also retain RCG and lingcod, but they can't be larger than your release scores) - the category will only count the C&R scores;
Big Ling - longest lingcod;
Big King - longest salmon;
COTE - goes to the most unique and exciting catch at the event (through Saturday evening including prefishing).  Past examples being Pacific halibut caught by Domenic at GS3 in pre-fishing, which would have had to compete with both an octopus and a wolf eel by Jedmo that year; Andy's octo last year; Terry's massive pac hali...etc.

Remember also that if you don't want one of my old yard shells you are free to chuck it back in the ocean!   :smt003

According to Crash's armchair school of meteorology, that forecast looks off by a day or two. We have shortwaves passing now, one more to pass tonight and early tomorrow, then a ridge will build. It's gonna blow, but Wednesday, Thursday look to be the worst. The ridge flattens and moves south giving us a break on Friday-Sunday.

Prefishing will be challenging but Saturday should be fine with some diurnal heating causing a north wind to 15kts by checkin time.

I'm running with this forecast for now. Tourney day looks fine.

Post by: Sin Coast on May 09, 2014, 01:17:42 PM
In general, south swells originate in the southern hemisphere so they take longer to reach our shores...which means they will almost always be spaced further apart (longer intervals, like from 12-18 seconds between peaks). Whereas northern/western swells are closer together, like 6-10 second intervals. This means that every so often (could be minutes; could be hours), the south swell will reach the shoreline at the same time as the dominant N/W swell...to form a larger-than-normal wave.
The other thing about south swells...the waves it produces will hit the coastline from a different angle than normal. So certain beaches/launches will be less protected than normal. Like Shelter Cove, which faces to the south. Or Santa Cruz harbor...if the south swell is pumping then surfers are happy.
For fish it can mean a number of things. It obviously depends moreso on the region/area/structure...but I personally feel like a mixed swell has a negative effect on the bite (for halibut, rockfish, and other bottom-dwellers) because there is more surge due to a constant shuffling of water, so they hunker down and spend less time searching for food in the open.

Looks like the primary swell switches to South starting Thursday thru Sunday at least.

Excuse my ignorance John but what is the significance of a south swell?  I've heard it mentioned before but don't know why it's important.


Shelter cove is not sheltered from a south swell, making the launch a bit sporting.

I like sporting launches

This is an old saying, mostly concerning Rockfish: "Swell (or wind) from the south, fish shut their mouth"

Either way SC is awesome and the fishing is better, no matter what the conditions, compared to the bay area coastline.  Sure wish I could go up a day early!

I've ab dove down there - it's a steep trail with bad footing.  I think by the time you got launched someone from the launch could paddle there.

The regional NOAA forecast looks good for Wednesday

Wed N winds 5 to 10 kt. Waves W 5 ft at 13 seconds.

Mixed and south swell can put off the rockfish bite but not salmon.  :smt003
Dry suit with fleece, rain gear and scopace and you should be good to go.  :smt005

I just finished rigging a whole lotta iron barbless. Took a few hours but I am good to go. See you guys and gals OTW. Don't dwell too much on the WX. You never know until you get to the beach and if there is a whole bunch a guys standing there looking at the surf and someone says "well if we timed it right we may be able to"... :smt044 :smt044 :smt044. Go back to bed.

All joking aside, there was a small (2') south swell a couple of years ago and there were several yard sales coming in, so spend a few minutes and rig for a wet landing before coming in.

As for launching and landing, I believe someone was advising others to launch and land at the beach just east of the ramp a few years ago, and that led to the dumpings. 

ALWAYS launch and land tight with the breakwater (unless you want to surf...).

About the drive, it can be dangerous - people really need to take it slow, pull over to let local traffic go by, gear down on grades, and watch out for cliffs and areas of no shoulder - not to mention crazy young drivers who come around corners on the center line and worse.

Spread the word - drive safely!!

When I was a kid (more than 50 yrs ago!) I think a good portion of the road was rough dirt.  I remember sitting in the middle front seat every year (that I can remember), holding the gear shift in place because it would just pop out!  I was scared **itless!

Great story, Skippy! 

My earliest Cove memory is of my brother, my sister and I getting sick on the way to the Cove in our family station wagon in the early 70's.  My brother had eaten Count Chocula for breakfast, my sister had Frankberries, and I don't know what I had, but it was a multicolor/odor disaster all around!   :smt005

Don't fret over wind - it's the norm.  Sure it could be nasty early, but I'll bet we'll get plenty of nice water to fish before getting blown back to the party on the beach. 

Go early, Folks!   :smt001

Scott, I figure that the black thingy in the hook is enough for you to grab onto and hook the hali while its still submerged.  Right?  How long is your hook?  Hope you get your monster hali!

15" long 6" hook gap. Yeah I added some handle bar tape for better grip. It's the biggest shark hook I could find (20/0 ?). Drive it through the belly and it should get the job done. I'll probably convert it to a flying gaff design at some point. Too much to do this year. Scott

Salmon report:

My buddy in the Cove caught 4 salmon yesterday on his boat.  All salmon ere 23lbs or bigger with the biggest at 39.5" and 28lbs.  Three of the fish were caught on a mooching rod with 15lb test.   They were caught 60ft on the wire with a watermelon Apex or a Carmen Electra Apex south of the whistle in 100ft of water.

Kiet, Tony and I are going to get some gaper clams now.  Anyone with any good recipes or suggestions chime in.  We will be bringing them to the Cove to share with whoever want some.

See yall soon... :smt001

Scoring, potluck, awards and auction schedule:

- Scoring runs from noon to 3PM somewhere near the ramp (will depend on tide and space available on beach - it'll be obvious).  Don't show up late to scoring - you won't be able to record a score;

- Potluck starts at 530 at the campground;

- Silent auction starts around 5 to 530 at the campground and runs until the end of the awards ceremony - see Great Bass 2's auction thread for more detail;

- Awards ceremony starts around 7 and will be complete by dark!

- I am excited about having this planned out, and I have a full itinerary.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WANTING TO ADD SOMETHING SPECIAL OF YOUR OWN TO THE PROCESS, BUT I AM NOT ACCEPTING ANY MORE PRIZES TO HAND OUT OR NEW CATEGORIES TO RECOGNIZE!

I don't want to seem ungrateful, but this happens every year.  If you wanted to add to the itinerary you should've asked about it months ago.  It's extremely difficult to plan all this out, work really hard and fast to pull it off, and then have people totally not understand when I rebuff their offer of another prize to hand out or other additional steps to what is already scheduled.

Everything's coming together, the wind forecast has improved(!), big salmon are being caught, and we are inching closer to what should be a wonderful meeting and celebration of our collective energies.  Bring your best to GS and you will receive that from the rest.   :smt001

With the current critical care situation with my grand baby, I can't consciously be away from her; therefore I will be canceling my trip to GS8 to be by her side....

Although this is one of my favorite events, her happiness is my first priority; there will always be next year!

For my brothers YAKHOPPER, CHUCKE AND MOMO, represent!

Have fun everyone, be safe! Post a lot of pics!!

In case anyone is expecting three NWKA guys tonight (skywest? Lingling?) I saw them before the top of the grade. They were overheated and planned to wait it out a bit. They said they were OK though.

Good morning.  My name is Eric, and I'm addicted to NCKA and salmon trolling from my kayak.  I go to bed too late and wake up way too early, unable to sleep until I wet a line with my brothers OTW.  I try not to drink too much beer, but my bros are so generous - it's hard to get through camp without at least a couple.  But I did take it easy last night because there is magic happening right offshore.

Gotta go now.  The salmon are calling me.   :smt001

I had fun! See you all soon. I have to give props put to Victor for helping me out by bringing my kayak home for me. I was stressed out all weekend about leaving with my truck not running good and glad he was able to pitch in. It was a stressful first hour driving slow up and out of Shelter Cove but was so glad that the rest of the way was downhill it seemed.  I also want to give props out to See Pete the mobile mechanic in Shelter Cove , he was so helpful to me during this situation and went far and beyond what I would have expected from someone in this area. I could not believe how when I said I was with the NCKA group , he was so happy to have us down there and what we meant for their community. It was very heart warming and I can't say enough about him . Glad I made it safely home but sad I couldn't stay longer and in a better mood.

Man.. I got to come out Wed and get lost in the fog and meet a bunch of people, a first for me.  Another first was soloing my TI, and fishing alone (I have been a sailor but fishing is new to me), another first... limiting on rockfish!  What a great group of people I met and so helpful... I've never felt safer "alone" in the ocean.  To the two guys with AIs that I met pre-sunrise, it was a real pleasure to sail with you.  I was working all weekend and watching the wind reports, praying to the fishing god for you guys and wishing I was there.  The pictures make me all the more jealous.  Thanks so much and I will see ya'll next year.

I elevated a couple ding blacks had a nice whale event, he came up 20 feet behind me and stayed up a few seconds checking stuff out, stink breath...I could have run across his back, pretty cool. Great food but I've been a beer drinking lightweight lately so after pigging out a couple heavy beers puts me to sleep, next year I'll have to have some coffee.

So incredibly bummed I couldn't make it this year. This last year has been tough for me away from all my NCKA brothers and sisters I have made in the last couple of years. I'm in the last couple of months of school right now and my schedule wouldn't allow for GS8 or the upcoming Albion tirp. Glad everyone made it up and back safe and sound. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

A thank you to everyone who posts up pics of the event, those of us who couldn't make it appreciate them more than you can imagine!!

It is impossible to describe the friendships, and connections you make through this site. Most people don't understand when you try to explain what NCKA is and what it is all about. All I know is these are some of the best people you can ever meet, and some of the best memories you can make!!

I just wanted to say how much fun I had at the GS8 tournament.  Eric, his daughter, and all of the rest of the NCKA people that helped stage the event did a fantastic job.  I have never been to Shelter Cove before and thought it was beautiful, plus I don't know how Eric provided us with the most beautiful weather.  Shelter Cove is one fishy place.  It was really cool to meet and talk with a bunch of hot fishermen (& women) like Eric, Etienne, Tim, Scott, Esau & Amber, Andy, and a whole bunch of other guys.  Special thanks to Piscean, my bro-in-law, for sponsoring me and getting me involved.  NCKA is awesome.

That was a blast. Eric, you out did yourself again.  :smt001
I thought the new potluck/award ceremony venue was awesome also. Big thanks to Jack.
kayakjack's taco stand was a full notch higher this time also (didn't realize it could be).
We were blessed with great weather, great food, and great friends!
I'll post some of Sarah's pics soon.

Yup.... KayakJack and his crew's fish taco stand was crazy good and so was Marv/Shicken's Weber Kettle Pizza stand.  Great work ya'll!

WOW another epic GS. Thanks Eric and family. I chased chrome for 3 days but the devil fish eluded me. I had my chances, but that is the nature of salmon fishing. You just have to keep getting out there. It was great to see others get chrome including a limit by my good friends Etienne and Lawrence. I had to settle for a 34" 15 pound ling which ended up as fish tacos for 9 old and new friends Friday night. Must have been all of the trolling because they were really hungry.  :smt005 Good fishing with Isao and Amber for the first time. We will find chrome before this year is over. Life is good. Can't wait for GS9.

Cannot remember a better vacation.
We were there from Sunday through Sunday.
Still putting stuff away.
Highlights:
Hanging with the NCKA Family
First ocean kayak salmon
Held an 11.6 lb OYSTER
First (and hopefully last) sea salp
Got to spend a good part of the day hanging out with Jack our campground host in Eureka on Monday. That dude is a STUD!
Not even once walking UP the boat launch in a week of being there.
And again, hanging out with the NCKA Family

Thank you Eric for the great event I had an absolute blast. This is my first event to attend and it was just awesome. It was so great to finally put faces to names. Lots of late nights and earlier mornings. Introduced myself and BS'ed with just about anyone I ran into. I could basically walk into any camp and was welcomed in, simply awesome family atmosphere.

Special thanks to Joe and MIke for welcoming into camp and introducing to so many people.

Thank you Eric and everyone for making it the weekend so great!

Eric, his family, and the rest of the GS8 helping staff once again blew us away with another World Classs Event! 2 and a half days just wasn't enough time for me and Christina. I'll be staying at least 4 days next year. We in short had a Very Sweet mini Vacation at the Cove. And Christina Had a pure blast being it her first time there. Hell, she even out fished me! :smt005 Jack and the rest of the Taco shack staff, Marv's pizzeria, and Jack's new outside patio made this year, THE BEST EVER!!= SOOO MUCH FUN! I, believe it or not blew my wad on Friday, cause the wx was soo nice, and fumbled on Tourny day and got SICK! :smt009 :smt005 Major Congrats, Once Again, to Racin Rob for the big W! Yes, you deserved it. That was fun. Until next year...

I fished jigs with barbless hooks and caught all kinds of stuff. I caught this weird rubbery thing. I asked a lot of people what it was and finally Andy (FM1) identified it as a sea cucumber. He also said they were good eating.  :smt044 :smt044 :smt044 Yeah, drink a lot of beer and throw it in the fryer and it tastes like chicken.

MattSwayze and I arrived at the Cove Wednesday afternoon.  That gave us a couple days of "pre-fishing" before tourney day.  Even though both of us brought salmon gear to try, we ended up having too much fun playing with the bottomfeeders  :smt005.  Rockfishing gives the middle finger to subtlety, and after fishing for months with nothing heavier than 6 pound test, it feels real good to put the muscle on some fish and say "Nope, you ain't goin' nowhere!"

The fishing was awesome all three days.  Mondo rockfish, loads of lings, whales, the scenery...it's Shelter Cove  :smt007.  We were stoked to repeat 1st in teams, and we even TIED each other for points despite having caught different sizes of fish!  What the hell are the odds of us both getting 674??  Had a blast at camp hanging with old and new faces, having the A-Hulls right next door (that had its pros and cons  :smt044), and being among the most generous and amazing group of anglers.  Like most everyone else, I'm already counting down the days to GS9!

Damn!!!!!! what a good time !!!!!! My 1st GS Tourney and it will not be my last. First off I would like to Thank Eric and his Family, I know this is a lot of work and strain on life, but worth every minute to you I hope. I know it is to all of us!!!! Second I would like to thank Brandi for helping make my wife feel like she fits in, she only knew my buddy Kevin before this weekend, and said what a great bunch of people everyone was. She said NCKA isn't like a club, it seemed more like a family, and that is how I always describe it. To say this was one of my all time favorite fishing trips is a understatement, only out done by the time I took my two boys on their first ocean fishing trip when they were little guys. Now I know why this place is so special for Eric, and he wants to share it with us. I don't know if it was the place, the weather, the fishing, the food, or the People that made it such a special time, yes I do know, it's all of the above !!!!! During the tourney I caught my PB Lingcod 30" plus I got to take Cabezon off my bucket list, I caught four Cabs. As for the tourney I think I got 15th or 16th, and I am very proud to be in the top 20 with the caliber of fishermen in NCKA. Also team North Valley Slayers took 2nd, very respectfully, It's hard to beat the Amazing Brothers !!!!!! Congrats on another first place in the team part. Congratulations to Racing Rob for winning the whole thing, Now I now how, CPR and a Salmon !!!!!! I can't wait until next year, hopefully I will also have both my boys with me next year

I'll try to get results and stats up here by tomorrow at this time.  Just got home this afternoon and am fried but smiling.   :smt003

Can't say enough thank yous to everyone who helped out and the entire NCKA family.  We should all be proud of ourselves.

Gentlemanly acts which helped my family have as much fun as I did. Congratulations to Racin Rob on the win, I am happy for him. Thank you Eric and the NCKA family, Amos

What a strange trip it's been….

  But all Good…  :smt004      I knew my wife was not going to make it due to a family graduation, but had the kids… as the date drew close, physics and chemistry, finals, Jazz gigs on Sunday and Auditions on Tuesday for the next years jazz program…

still, we were working it, come up Friday, fish Saturday, and back late that night or early Sunday to make the gig at 11am… were on it,  Family event last weekend, lots of colds from all over the US, and everyone in the house gets sick, except me…  :smt003

Still, my wife and myself are leaving, so are all of the local family, and were leaving our 17 year old teenagers alone for a few days…..  :smt107

Hell,  give me a few hour when I was that age and I would have a house party,  but that was not really the concern here…

what will they invent….   :smt032

It was not looking good for a long stay if at all, thank goodness for my neighbor …  volunteered to look in on them, help them get to the jazz gigs and had my trailer rigged with their yaks if they felt better and they all wanted to make the gig @ GS8…

I would have put a long shot no them making it, but I thought on Thursday morning they were coming, but alas…  in the end I was on my own…


and what a most incredible peaceful time hanging with all of you just chill in …

  Thursday morning watching the fog lift and counting around 13 yaks on the water,   Awesome..

Wish I got more fishing in,  but I kind of tweak my knee, and not in a good way,  one of those deep, "Oh shit, thats' something new…"…. 


 Still manage to keep the family in fish tacos for while…

Like said,  counting the days till next year

Ciao!

Best ncka event to date for me. Awesome weather,excellent fishing,great food and fun people. All
right there in shelter cove aka poor man's Alaska.Thanks to Eric and all the people who helped him put this event on and make it great!! Another big thanks to DG, INSAYN and my older brother Adam for making the tacoshack happen. It was my brother's first time kayaking and first time fishing in the salt. He did really well on the water. Way better than my first time. He was blown away at how cool and diverse a group we are. I agree. Thanks also to guitarzan for painting up the taco-assembly trays.We managed to pump out over five hundred fish tacos in a few hours.
Bigjim blew my mind on saturday. It was getting close to check-in time when jim paddled up to chat. I told him all i had was 15 inch black. He leaned over,looked me in the eye and said,"you need another fish" and then put his hand on my yak. At that instant my rod went bendo and i caught fat 27inch ling. I was speechless as he paddled off. I think that dude has some serious good mojo flowing through his veins. Thanks for the fish Jim.

LMAO!!!!

That's not exactly how it happened but I like the way it sounds!!   :smt003

My recollection is I paddled up to you and Guitarzan, you reached behind you and gave me a delicious bottle of cold Pliny The Elder.

As soon as I Broped up and opened the Pliny and took a swig your rod went bendo and it was that badazz Buffalo Sculpin.

We took some pics and released it.

I took another swig of the Pliny and your rod went bendo again and it was that nice Ling.

I think you brought good mojo on yourself by giving me the Pliny, and I was just lucky to be there at the right time.

Not to be a downer, but we as a group need to be better at identifying rockfish.

I saw five yelloweyes kept over the weekend and also saw a guy walking around with a big ass canary head that I think he pulled out of the fillet station waste. How bad would that suck to get a ticket for a piece of a fish that you didn't even catch?

:smt009

Some folks really need to take a look at the regulations on size limits as well.  It's discouraging and makes us look bad as a group to hear people ask over the radio about size limits for lingcod, cabezon, and greenling multiple times every day.  Size limits are not complicated regulations, and it's not like they're buried in some obscure corner of the regulations booklet.  There's no excuse to not know the size limits for your target fish.

Take a sharpie and write the species and minimum length on the back of your hog trough so you will have them.

Thank you both, Dustin and Chris, for bringing these points into the thread.  I am seriously considering having a test on the application requiring knowledge of species attributes and size limits.  I may also add notice of very strict enforcement on DQ's for showing a disregard for learning the regulations prior to fishing (or showing up at Shelter Cove ever!).  I take this very seriously, and I frankly don't want anyone at GS who is ignorant of the rules of the species they're pursuing or that they may bycatch.

Now back to the fun:  I got these ab pearls out of my Hike and Dive buhloney.   :smt001

Not to be a downer, but we as a group need to be better at identifying rockfish.

I saw five yelloweyes kept over the weekend and also saw a guy walking around with a big ass canary head that I think he pulled out of the fillet station waste. How bad would that suck to get a ticket for a piece of a fish that you didn't even catch?

There was also that guy, that caught a sanddab and thought it was a halibut!  :smt044

Love ya Tote!  :smt007 :smt006

I did not attend, regrettably, but I want to compliment Eric for putting on a good event. It sounds like it was a huge success for those who were there. It also sounds like it was a positive thing for the community of Shelter Cove too!

Thank you Eric for being a responsible event coordinator. A win, win! May GS live forever!

What an awesome weekend!!!!!!
It was great to meet such an awesome crew! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Tourney day was a little rough for us, with am getting pretty sick right off the bat. She stuck through it for 5 hours though, and still landed a nice 28 inch ling  :smt003

Our OTW highlight of the weekend was sunday, when we brought 4 shaker salmon to the boat, and had a double hookup!!!! I measured the largest one, and it came out to just over 21". We were a little bummed that we didnt bring home any chrome, but it was great to know that we were doing something right.

Thank you Eric for a great event! We will be back for sure!!!

Aloha,

What a special weekend! Thanks to Eric and everyone that worked so hard to put on the event. Congrats to Rob on the big win, and thanks to Bloodbath for sponsoring me.

I got skunked Friday and was convinced I was cursed. Day of the tournament I found a pack of A-Hulls who were gracious enough to let a bad luck B-Hull fish with them. After bitching and moaning about my poor luck (skills?), Jim, Al and Daniel got me on some fish :smt007 :smt008 Rod went bendo and to the surface came my first ever lingcod at 26" (took out my frustrations and bashed him good  :smt044) Thanks Al for taking pics and documenting the moment. Such a great event and amazing people. I'll be back for GS9!

So incredibly bummed I couldn't make it this year. This last year has been tough for me away from all my NCKA brothers and sisters I have made in the last couple of years. I'm in the last couple of months of school right now and my schedule wouldn't allow for GS8 or the upcoming Albion tirp. Glad everyone made it up and back safe and sound. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

A thank you to everyone who posts up pics of the event, those of us who couldn't make it appreciate them more than you can imagine!!

It is impossible to describe the friendships, and connections you make through this site. Most people don't understand when you try to explain what NCKA is and what it is all about. All I know is these are some of the best people you can ever meet, and some of the best memories you can make!!

WOW! Just now recovering from an awesome GS8!
I had a great time hanging with good friends and making new ones.
Thanks to my camp mates- Rider, Ricci, Christina, Napajustin, Pescadono for putting up with me!
I ended every day at around 8pm. passed out tired in the Subaru, only to awaken at around 10pm to wash off the yak etc.
Next time I will make more of an effort to roam the campground and visit friends more :smt001
Ended up catching a ton of fish - all small to med. size. On tourney day I gambled that I could use the fly rod to fool some bigger fish, but it was, in the end a foolish move as I could only manage to catch a lot of only one species.
Oh well - next time.
Eric and crew, and the sponsors really outdid themselves this year, the venue was great and the food and party was top notch, as always.
Ended up leaving on Sun. after an impromptu Uke session at Lapu Lapu's campsite, I really want to do that again, this time with the Ukers I missed jamming with - Scott, Jim, Naomi - so... Next time! :smt001

I wish I had some pics to share, but a 30" ling went apeshit on the trough while I was taking the picture with my iphone and slapped the phone right out of my hand and managed to get away too.   :smt005    Not so pissed about the phone, but all the pictures I lost from this trip!!  I will catch and eat that ling next year.  No pic n release for him!    :smt044

Big Mahalo to Eric and the crew for another awesome event. You've out done yourself again this year and I can't wait to see what's in for GS9.  My wife and I really enjoyed this event and we got to see old friends and made new ones. We are looking forward for next year. The owner of the campsite (Jack) came over to our campsite and we talked a little bit. He really dig it that the potluck was over at the campground. He spoke very highly of NCKA and he mentioned that NCKA are a bunch of fun and friendly people. Once again thank you so much for putting together such a great event. Also congratulations to all the winners for GS8.

True, Guys.  Jack is excellent to us, and I love his enthusiasm and support.  I do give him a t-shirt every year, and I'm aiming to hook him up with a redwood trough.  I'd love to see him showered with other NCKA thank you's.   :smt001  (then I'll ask him to make sure there are more portapots next year!   :smt005)

I had fun. LOTS of people eating LOTS of food at the potluck. Otobepelagic even handing out "frog legs" on a stick.  :smt002 Delicious fish tacos. Still, my appetite was not as big as usual. During the evening, a 10 year old fractured wisdom tooth finally decided to give up the ghost and became infected (and sore). I left a day early on Sunday rather than endure the pain for another day of pictures. Wisdom tooth now gone and happily munching on Do-Si-Do's again.  :smt002

Still relishing GS8. Thanks again to Eric & family and everyone else who participated in the success of Gimme Shelter.

As for me, I saw red.
Checked in a 22 incher for the tourney, then this fatty on Sun came in just under 23" before being sent back down.

Great pics Hojo and Piski!  Piski, that 23" verm and octopus are rad!  I'd love to hook into an octopus one of these days.  How deep were you fishing when you hooked the octo?

About 45' deep for the octopuss. Thought I was snagged up when I hooked it, just dead weight to pull up. I've been chided for not keeping it. Adam, don't tell Linda I caught it!  :smt005

Seems like verms are relatively shallow at Shelter -- all 3 of mine were in water no deeper than 50'. The fatty looks a little popped but it went down on its own.

Almost forgot to post the all important red can -

Thank You Eric for hosting another stellar GS. The best one ever. I've said before that one can plan an event, but you can not plan the weather. Sure love it when it all comes together.
Hojoman, I made a birthday wish, that you buy a Roadtrek just like the one Martin purchased. Howard we all want you to know how much we value your skill.
Marvin, the pizza was superb. Kayak Jack how the heck did I miss your tacos, all these years. A real tasty reward was at the end of that line. We had fun, fun and more fun.

I'm not sure if I have words to fully explain how much fun it was to be at Shelter this year and what a awesome experience I had with all of the great people. Many thanks to Eric, your family, all of the folks that helped to support, prep, and carry off such an epic event for all to enjoy! (Definitely want to give a special shout out to Hojoman - awesome pics dude) The weather and the vibe couldn't have been more warm and inviting-truly wonderful. Hiking the lost coast was magical, wished we could have stayed longer. Here are a couple of pics to add into the great story. Mike

Thank you, Eric, for another wonderful event. I don't know how you do it...I'd probably work myself into a nervous/anxious wreck by the time we suited up for gameday. It must feel so cathartic by the time it's over.

Also thanks to everybody who helped make my family feel welcomed. They had a great time. This was a very different experience for me...compared to previous Gimme Shelters. GS8 transformed from a hardcore fishing adventure into a quaint family getaway. Because normally my wife hates the long drive and complains that I ditch her (with the kids) to hang out with my fishin buddies. Which is probably half-true [albeit unintentional]. So I didn't expect her to come with this year. But when I insisted she would have a good time, she called my bluff!

We were there for 4 days and I fished for maybe 5hrs total (morning of the tourney). Crazy right? Especially for me. We spent the whole time enjoying the Cove and playing with the kids. I probably took a hundred photos--and not a single fish pic!!! Normally fish pics account for 80% of my photos LOL... Again, crazy. But it was totally worth it. Carrie had such a good time that we're planning a return trip next month.

Here's the only pic I took with fish in it haha...

Way to go, Family Guy!! 

I want GS to turn into more and more of a family event instead of a place to get drunk at the campground (not that GS is just a place to get drunk in the campground...).  I enjoy a few beers, but I'm proud to say I was never more than a bit buzzed over the GS weekend.  Lots of work to do, but more importantly I want to see my family have a great time, I want to visit with good friends that I may only see once or twice a year, and I want the vibe of the Cove and our collective positivity to make getting drunk a waste of time!

We are a family, and GS is a great place for our individual families too.  Keep rockin' the water and the shore.  Love is where it's at.

Wow, great family photos, Pat! The kids look like they were having a lot of funny, being silly - it makes the parents happy, the fun grows. Very cool, thanks for sharing that perspective. I gotta get my family to attend, too. I think by next year my youngest sun will up for fishing the event also. I'm looking forward to That!

Just reading a bit of HMB stuff from the opener down there, and it sounds like yakkers in the water (non-NCKA?...) were an issue - not good!   :smt009

It made me realize how cool it was that, to my knowledge, there were NO capsizings at GS this year!  Wow.  Thank you.  WTG.

No doubt for sure! The whole time down here I was wishing I had my family with me. I have decided I will bring the boys to this event every time from now on. It is such as special place that is best shared with the whole family. Can't wait to do it again next year! But watch out the Ling Slinger will hopefully out on the water with Dad.

Sorry to bust the bubble but I had a capsized once playing in the surf. All my gear was stowed below deck and nothing was lost, except a little pride. See photo below. If it looks like its going to end bad, its because it did. haha.

Thanks for making sure I have accurate info, Tim.  Still very pleased with the overall results, and I'm glad to hear your teammate was back on his ride quickly.   :smt001

Great video.  Nice way to document it all.  You are going to stir up emotions, make some drool and others will have to go back because they miss it so much already.
