Title: GS6 - 5/12/12 - Another Year in the Books - Thank you to all who participated
Post by: LoletaEric on January 06, 2012, 09:30:52 PM
Hello, and welcome to Gimme Shelter 6th Annual Kayakfishing Tournament.  On Saturday, May 12th, 2012 we will open the rockfish/lingcod season along the North Coast.  A $25 registration fee gets you a t-shirt, a few goodies, and entry into the fishing tournament.  We fish in teams but score individually, and the winner gets some nice trophies as well as a grand prize – a new RTM Abaco with extras!  There will also be prizes for others who place as well as a Sportsman prize, and the nature of the tournament is that all cash in goes back out to the participants.  Based on our larger and larger footprint over the years at Shelter Cove, I plan to patronize the locals directly by buying two charter trips and a tractor launch to be awarded as prizes or raffle items.  There is much to plan for, much to share here about trips past and anticipation of this year, and organizing yet to do, but, please be clear, the spirit and purpose of this gathering is about people who love the outdoors and love sharing it with others who have their act together and bring a good vibe.  There is no room for attitudes or trouble.  Our presence in Shelter Cove has been welcomed and we’ve done much to build a good reputation as a group – let’s focus on that as we descend on Shelter Cove for an annual pilgrimage of fishing, drinking in Nature, and enjoying each other with loving hearts and open minds.

There is history to this tournament that is best learned in past threads.  This has become like assigning a Tolstoy novel to a college coed, but you really cannot gain better perspective on Gimme Shelter than by reading the threads that have developed around them each year.  I’ll give a brief here:  6 of us NCKA members planned a hookup at Shelter Cove early in the ocean salmon season of 2007.  I’d caught a huge king the September previous down there, and the season opened in February at that time, so 2 of us from Humboldt, Swellrider (Hawk) and I, and 4 of us from “the Bay Area”, Sailfish (Sonny), Sackyack (Etienne), Sin Coast (Pat), and MBYakker (Chris), planned to rendezvous over the weekend of March 5th, 2007.  We had a great time – read about it here:   http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,7354.0.html (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,7354.0.html) 

So the deep winter of ‘07/’08 sets in and Sin Coast / Pat starts up a thread for another early salmon season try called “Gimme Shelter II” – we’d corresponded about getting it going, and I credit him with the naming.  Well done, PK.   The thread gained momentum and quite a few people (a couple dozen or more) were going to show, but we got blown out by what I now call “a hurricane” – it was so extreme that NO ONE even showed up, at all.  What we really saw developing that year though was a strong commitment by longtime members to get together and have a special gathering – I still remember the energy of that thread.  Read the 15 page thread here:  http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,11452.0.html (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,11452.0.html) 

Winter of ‘08/’09 brought lots of hard-up rockfishers and lingcod lovers – it was decided that we’d hold the tournament for the opener on Friday, May 15th - Gimme Shelter 3.  Biggest fish would take first prize among about 45 of us having a “friendly” – was to be “money between friends”, but since we had some donated prizes we made it a free tournament.  Jedmo took it with a 56” wolf eel!  We had killer t-shirts by FishMaster, Domenic caught a Pacific Halibut in pre-fish, and such a great time was had all weekend with some awesome fish, exciting adventures, and so much fun it was hard to believe!  Read the 56 page thread here: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,16397.0.html (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,16397.0.html)

So winter rolls around at the end of ’09 and Gimme Shelter is now a fixture – there are lots of people wanting in on the fun.  I organized Gimme Shelter IV with pre-registration of about 85 people, t-shirts, and a kayak for 1st place.  Our boy Big Jim took the grand prize with a nice stringer (AOTY scoring was now the system), and it couldn’t have been more appropriate as he was cruising the “Big Yak” up until then!  Such fun and special times were had – it literally brings tears to my eyes to write this and conjure memories of the friendships that formed and positive vibes that flowed through that time and place.  Read the 60 page thread here:  http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,22208.0.html (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,22208.0.html)

OK, so we get to winter of ‘10/11 and Gimme Shelter is solid - time for GS5.  Added on additional gear to buy, secured a sponsor donated boat for grand prize freeing up $1000 to go to charity, had a bunch of other prizes and a special custom redwood Trophy Trough with abalone inlay, filled The Tides Inn by New Year, and had 93 paid participants.  The tournament went off nicely even though we were subject to some brutal cold and rain.  Some totally badass fish were caught including Jacks/Terry’s 48” Pacific Halibut that sealed his victory in the tournament, some monster 20 pound lingcod, and Darius caught his own Pac-But before the weekend was over.  Once again, the camaraderie, renewing of old friendships, brotherhood, and spirit of fun and happiness was approaching overwhelming!  This stuff can’t be made up – it’s what we do here.  Read of GS5 in this 73 page thread:  http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,28025.0.html (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,28025.0.html)

These threads have turned out to be the longest, most viewed, most responded to threads at NCKA.  I’ll take credit for being a rabble-rouser of sorts, relishing the nature of a somewhat cryptic system of communication between a special group who chooses to meet to paddle and fish together.  I don't care if this thread eclipses past uber-threads - it's more about the gathering for me now, and quality is the focus over quantity.  Thank you for starting your participation by reading this.  Over the next 4 months a collective swell of hope and anticipation will form here in this thread.  I’ll update a list of registered participants on the most current page, and I’ll have announcements that will be headlined in the changing title of the thread.  If anyone has any ideas or suggestions or would like to contribute to the tournament, please feel free to bring them to this thread or PM me.

See the attachments here for the new rules, schedule and registration form – registration closes on April 12th.

Sonny, let the countdown begin.   :smt001

Right on, Eric.   :smt001

Big changes this year:  Catch and Release Bonus is now ONLY for your largest fish of that species and you get a point per inch of the fish released instead of just an extra inch worth of points.  Perch and flounder are out - we'll score individually based on 6 species:  Salmon (5), Halibut (5), Lingcod (5), Rockfish (7), Cabezon (7), and Greenling (11).  C&R bonus will only apply to lingcod, rockfish, cabezon and greenling.  Releasing a salmon or halibut that could legally be retained is scorable, but no bonus will be allowed because I wouldn't want someone who's unsure of a salmon's species to trough it to have it checked later.  If you fish for salmon, KNOW your regs and ID skills, bonk a fish if it's legal and bring that puppy to the potluck!  Regarding the C&R bonus only applying to your largest fish of that species, this encourages maximum release of the biggest fish, and that is a part of the tournament that I've always liked to promote, as I believe it puts our group in a very positive light - which is very well deserved.   :smt001

Teams are a safety feature and a requirement for participation in the competition.  This year Tad is going to track team scoring again and award prizes in the team competition.  I think he averaged the scoring within teams last year, so team rosters can be from two to several members.  Everyone should be able to find a team through buddies who are going to the tournament or just by corresponding in this thread.  I hope you can make it.   :smt001

For the last 15 years, my wife and mother-in-law have had a tradition of spending a week at a spa in Ojai, Ca in early May.  This has been the main reason that I haven't been able to attend any of the GS events.

This morning I asked if her mother had booked their annual pilgrimage and she confirmed that it was scheduled for Saturday, May 12th through Friday, May 18th.

So I delicately mentioned that there was an event that I've wanted to attend for the last couple of years but hadn't been able to because of her tradition to which she replied, "why don't you see if my father will watch the girls for the day."  Knowing that it wasn't a "day" event, especially from San Jose, I just left it at that.  But her response was encouraging.  So much so that I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to attend.
Will have some logistics to work out, but I'm planning on being there!  :blob10: :blob3: :blob5: :blob6: :blob7:

Eric has given me the OK to organize the Team Comp. this year, thanks Bro!

Like last years experimental team comp., you can sign up 2 - 10 anglers per team.

We will use a team average format.

The total points of each team is divided by the number of anglers on the team.

Once signed up on a team you must post a score,
 if you don't post a score, don't fish or get skunked your zero score still counts in the calculation.

I will have team signups/scorecards available at the safety meeting at the launch Fri. evening and at the campground that night. Also I will monitor this thread for teams that form here, but check with me to make sure your team is registered correctly.

Your team must be signed up with me by Fri. night, no Sat. morning signups.

This is a friendly competition for fun and bragging rights, but I may be able to put together some sort of awards or goodie bags for the top finishing teams.

Here are  the results of last years experimental team tourney.

 1st. place: SLAYRIDE
                  Total score: 3191 divided by 7=
                  455.71 Team Score

                   Total score: 833 divided by 2=
                   416.5 Team Score
                   (Boogieman,Prophet)

3rd. place: LOCAL CONNECTION
                  Total score: 2327.75 divided by 6=
                  387.95 Team Score
                  (AbKing, Domenic, Brandi, SRJ, Redwoodfox, Jeff Riggs)

4th. place: LOOSE SCREWS
                  Total score: 3795.75 divided by 10=
                  379.57 Team Score

                 Total score: 921.5 divided by 3=
                 307.16 Team Score
                 (BanjoTad, MattS, Fisheducator)

6th. place: THE RINGERS
                  Total score: 693.5 divided by 3
                  231.16 Team Score

7th. place: DAWN PATROL
                  Total score: 276.5 divided by 2=

Just a thought,
Being as mothers day is Sunday,
It might help some WAF accounts if see planned something (like a breakfast ) for the wives in attendance.
Again, just a thought and we have plenty of time to work out details.

See ya soon,

That is easy, just blame Fish and Game!

I am working on getting the time off.  I will be flying solo this year,no wife or daughter.  That means more man time!  Nice to have the family along, but much less work with just myself  :smt003

The slayers are going to take it this year, I can feel it......

Just my point,
If the ladies have a morn set aside for them it could help with the good vibe.
I will be more than happy to help organize a special something for the mom's in the group.
My wife always likes to have a sunday brunch on Mothers day
Will need to see if enough moms are comming before we commit :smt002

See Ya There,

I just spoke to her, and the Winter Special is being extended to us again!  This is 3 nights for the price of 2 at The Tides Inn.  Fair warning:  their prices have inched up to about $150-$300/night depending on which room, but the place is fantastic with instant views and easiest beach access - great for families...  I've stayed there with my family for GS3, GS4 and GS5, and we'll be in a full suite again this year - I'll say that having the full suite with full kitchen is something that scores me MEGA-WAF, so you might consider that...

I have a deal with Jimbo for "Potluck Facilities Maintenance"  :smt003, but I won't be able to finalize it until around mid March because a huge increase in tournament registration this year could mean that I rent the community center for the potluck.  Thank you, Jimbo.   :smt001

You're the man, Jimbo!  Thank you, and I will make this work (in other words, I may have spoken too soon about getting 3 nights for the price of 1 - how about staying 4 for the price of 2?...)  I just looked over your post from earlier and it sounds like the Sledge factor will be conducive to this coupon deal - thx, again, Jimbo.   :smt001

Im probably in.  It is HSU graduation on the 12th and my girlfriend is walking that day.  The important date is in december when she has the nursing pinning ceremony when they officially become nurses.  She wants to go again and stay at the Inn of the Lost Coast so it looks like it may work out after all.

Can't wait to get back to the Cove.

Eric,
Thanks again for putting this event together.
This is my favorite event of the year and I don't know how I will pass the next 4 months.
I also plan on my first Ab dive while I'm there.
If you could do me a favor and add this event as well as TRW-2 and any other event you might know about from LCKA to the NCKA calender I would much appreciate it. I love the north coast and would like to attend as many events in your area as possible

See Ya Soon,
Eric / Yakhopper

P.S.
My Wife and I have been discussing what we would like to do when we actually retire. We are thinking that the Arcata area might be what we are looking for. If anyone knows of a Sporting goods store in that general area that might be in need of a quality employee please send me the info.

I've been hanging out here for over 7 years, but I don't know where the calendar is!!  Pretty funny, but true.  Sorry, Eric.  Dial me in on where it is and I'll go check it out.   :smt001  I don't know the dates for TRW2, but I'll be glad to add GS6 to the calendar.

PS - I found the calendar!  I posted up GS, but it diverted me to the wrong day, so I posted it on two different days.  Anyway, finding the calendar made me realize how I don't schedule fishing trips outside of GS - that's one of my trade secrets.   :smt003

I'll be sending my check in tomorrow!  No way I am missing out.  I can't tell you guys how much I am looking forward to this.  GS5 had burned itself into my mind as the single greatest weekend of fishing in my life.  I am looking forward to GS6 exceeding everything that has come before!   :smt006

I'm hauling my electronic moneypit to town and haulling my sick ass onto the bay for some crabbing and perching with Dom.  I'm really excited to unveil news about the grand prize for this year's tournee, but I have to wait until the deal is sealed.  It's gonna be good!  Have a good weekend - maybe I'll check in on i-phone...

Yeah, Jedmo - be sure you actually order one this year before you freak me out over it!!    :smt002 :smt001

The shirts this year have green ink, so the basic t-shirt that comes with the registration is black with a green NCKA logo on the front and green tournament specs on the back.  The long sleeve white shirts ($20 - a good deal as they cost me around $15/each) has the black logo on the front and green graphics outlined in black on the back.  The hoodie will be gray, but not the same gray as last year - it'll be more of a solid gray and a bit darker and they'll have the same ink as the long sleeve white shirts - the green with black outline on the back will pop nicely.  I work with a very green graphics group who only uses high quality t's and hoodies - no lightweight junk!  Shirt and hoodie funds over and above production costs will go to the prize pool, as always.

I will definitely be there this year. I had to cancel last year cause we had just bought our house and it needed a lot of love before we could move in. I just got a room from Julie at the inn so my wife can come along with my 9yr old daughter Natalie. :smt001 I would also like to set up the fish taco shack. It seems like a good way to convert our fish to food right there fresh and on the spot.

Eric,
Can't wait!  I just poured my first mould for making my own swim baits.  I'm gonna have to make a couple hundred to recoup my cost but making my own baits just seemed like a natural thing to do.  GS-6 will be my first opportunity to try them out.  Making my own beer and and baits!  What could be better, other than fishing Shelter Cove with the "Screws" and the rest of the NCKA gang.

I'm gonna be driving up Wednesday AM...

Looking to dive for abs and fish on Wednesday PM, Thursday and Friday before tourney day on Saturday.

Will rest and recover Sunday and either cruise home Sunday afternoon or Monday AM.

Thinking of launching the yak and paddling up North around the Abalone Point area and exploring over there underwater.

Let me know if anybody wants to join me!

If you have time Eric and can show me around a bit that would be awesome!!

Hoping for calm seas and clear water.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to yak diving over there this year...had a rough time past two years on shore diving spots, and am hopeful that being off shore a bit in the yak will allow me to move around and explore a little better.

Perching can be fun, but you did read this year's rules, right?  No more perch or flounder in the tournament.  I don't want yaks plugging up the launch area by perch fishing in there on tournament day.  Flounder didn't factor in the past two years, so we'll leave them alone.  Both those species may have just been targets to kill for points too, so that's another reason I've changed it up.

I anticipate that salmon season will be open by early April, but we won't know for several more weeks.

Pacific Halibut season is slated to open May 1st, and I expect more to be caught this year as there has been an upward trend on sport halibut landings along the north coast the past few years.

Jim - I too plan to get down there for some pre-fishing and diving, and I'd love to yak to a more remote dive spot with you.  Since scoring good viz and calm water at Ab Point is tough even in summer I think we may have our best potentials around the impressive minus tides that will occur mid mornings.

So I'm chatting with Domenic.  And I'm like, blah blah blah blah blah...blah blah blah.   :smt003  All good, all positive, ya know.  I was actually telling him how having a live chat with him (on NCKA, just now) was really cool and it was reminding me of the first time I marvelled at the wonders of instantaneous live type-chat on the internet.  It was the late 90's, and I was heavy into a great word game called Acrophobia.  I chatted with a buddy I'd met and befriended, and he was in Australia!  The chat was flawless and instant - I was astounded and thrilled!  I'll admit I've not done live chat very often since then, but I'm aware of its availability and appreciate its place.  Chatting with my good friend Domenic this evening, it was especially gratifying if not ironic to note that we basically met due to the internet and were now chatting on it like a telephone conversation.

To expand on that for the sake of this thread, I have valued relationships created through the internet for quite some time, and it's not too hard to establish some measure of standards and  indicators which allow for navigation of what some would consider a precarious arena for making friends.  NCKA is special though.  It's apparent that our sport attracts a special type of person and what has been shown again and again here is that we have values for adventure, camaraderie, sportsmanship, fun, and sharing that surpass what can normally be found out there!  Welcoming new members and contributors to the tournament is always especially gratifying, as I see how the event and the energy we create around it attracts others who may not usually otherwise participate.  Thank you, NCKA, for being that framework and meeting place for us to create true life experience together. 

This is what Gimme Shelter is.   :smt001

To expand on that for the sake of this thread, I have valued relationships created through the internet for quite some time, and it's not too hard to establish some measure of standards and  indicators which allow for navigation of what some would consider a precarious arena for making friends.  NCKA is special though.  It's apparent that our sport attracts a special type of person and what has been shown again and again here is that we have values for adventure, camaraderie, sportsmanship, fun, and sharing that surpass what can normally be found out there!  Welcoming new members and contributors to the tournament is always especially gratifying, as I see how the event and the energy we create around it attracts others who may not usually otherwise participate.  Thank you, NCKA, for being that framework and meeting place for us to create true life experience together. 

This is what Gimme Shelter is.   :smt001

Thank you Eric for organizing such a special event. It's a lot of work to organize these events and the people who do really make a huge contribution to NCKA.

When I tell people I met my fishing buddies on the internet, I always get a double take.  :smt005 Kayak fishing does attract a different type of person however other groups don't have brotherhood and sisterhood that NCKA has. Fishing the Moyer is nothing like GS or Albion. Not to rag on the SCAL kayak fishing community but without the camping, chilling, potluck and comraderie it's just not as fun. Etienne said last year that it is not common to make good friends later in life and yet through NCKA it happens all the time. Does that happen through Facebook very often? I wouldn't know because NCKA is the only social networking I need.

I want to thank Greg/cajun for taking initiative and getting ahold of Jack, the owner of Shelter Cove Campground.  Greg reports that Jack plans to offer the same deal this year for us - he'll rope off a large area for us to have community camping and it'll be $20 per person per night.  Some think this is expensive and that cramming 3 to 5 people in a site for $40/night is better, but the problem is that the sites are quite small, and more than 2 people in one rig will overflow the site boundaries.  That's why Jack wants to do what he's doing - people who aren't into the community camping scene can rent their own sites outside of the area that he sets aside for us.  Jack expressed concerns that there are people who aren't honest about paying their share, and I hope that the entire group will put some firm but positive pressure on anyone who may be trying to cheat the system.  Let's all pay our share and make sure the Shelter Cove Campground continues to look forward to our event for the great group of fair and honest people that we are.  Thank you for helping out with that.   :smt001

 Am I having a flashback or is Jack still crying :smt010  about the same old sh!t for the past 2 years :smt009

I thought last years arrangements settled all his campground freeloader/ site encroachment issues :smt012

Last year and the previous 2 years, I have shared a site with 1 or 2 others and we have always paid his full Hilton
Hotel prices for our 15x20 ft. site and stayed within its confines. Also if one of my NCKA brothers camped next to me needs a little overlap into my site I'm cool with that :smt004 I paid for it, and it should be none of his concern.

I don't condone people trying to cheat on paying their full share, but come on now, he is a businessman with a
monopoly and knows how to exploit it. :smt002

 In my opinion he should cut us a discount because I'm sure we have increased his profit margin 1000% on Rock Fish
opening weekend.

This is from last years thread

 3 different scenarios :

Scenario #1,  $20 per person flat fee per night.
3 people for 3 nights = $180
 

Scenario #2,  $33 per site fee 2 person max. ($10 per person extra)
3 people for 3 nights = $129
 

Simple subtraction:
$180 - $129 = $51 saved for scenario #2. That buys a lot of beer  or 1/2 tank of gas

If we stay in a site can we still visit the group area or will we be charged an entry fee?



OK I'll get off my soap box and stop bitchin about someone that whines about us making him money.

Sorry had to vent, I feel better now :smt002

I hear ya, Tad, and I agree.  Jack needs to just run his business.  I've been accomodating of his needs, but really I don't feel I should have to cater to him - he just needs to run his campground however he sees fit.  I'm glad though that he does want to communicate and negotiate terms.  For the access alone the campground is a good deal.  Where else can you wheel your boat a couple hundred yards to some of the best fishing south of Alaska?!   :smt001

I rented a house for $150 a night.  I'm sharing it with two other Loose Screws.  A hot shower, kitchen and a bed for $50 a night seems like a pretty good deal to me.  I rented it through HomeAway.com.  It's less than a mile from the launch ramp.

I do love the annual cruise through the campground, kids in the back of the truck, to hand out tournee packs, see old and new buddies, and feel the energy.  Throughout the weekend the campground culture evolves and a special vibe is always present.  The campground crews, unique culinary events (oh, the uni!   :smt007), bonfires, madness and other happenings are a major part of the event, and I will always support that aspect.   :smt001

Is the reserved area going to be subdivided, in case there are those who actually want to get some sleep the night before? I know, party pooper- but I get sleepy around midnight and a few beers...   :)
That's why I was considering getting a spot on the opposite end of the reserved area (for sleeping after the party).

I'm going to enjoy my new RTM after catching a 40" ling, 48" halibut, 24" red, 18" greenling and 25.5" cabbie.

How many points is that if I release everything but the halibut?

40" ling released and no longer lingcod retained = 240 points
48" halibut retained                                        = 240 points
24" red released and no longer rockfish retained = 192 points
18" greenling released and no longer ones retained = 216 points
25.5" cab released and no longer cabs retained = 204.25 points

Looks like AbMan will score nicely at 1092.25, and I'll be sad to burst his bubble with all those species plus a 42" King Salmon sizzling on the 'cue at the potluck.   :smt003

Some other good scores:

15" perch - good for ZERO points but plenty of laughs when whoever tries to enter it realizes he or she did not read this year's rules!   :smt005
28" coho - your score = fifty lashes in front of the group and possibly a DFG-CalTip call!   :smt044

Be sure to read up on this year's new rules - that doc and the order form/registration are only attached on the first entry of this thread.   :smt001

I am just curious on how you are going to regulate someone keeping your largest one? I hate to be a spoil sport but someone could easily release and photo a 36" ling and not measure a 40" ling keeping it. I know it is meant to be a gentlemen honor but not all are gentlemen. Just saying

I don't think it'll take much scrutiny to assure that we're getting honest entries.

Scenario:  JoeYakker brings his stringer and camera to the check-in.  Joe shows a nice 36" ling on the trough with the required photo element.  Joe scores (5 points x 36 inches = 180) 180 points plus the 36 bonus points for a total of 216.  If he's "smuggled" a 40" ling ashore and is hiding it from us then he could've scored 200 points and a whole lot of fanfare by just turning in the Lingzilla...  So maybe there'll be someone at Gimme Shelter 6th Annual Kayakfishing Tournament who chooses to gain a few points illegally while at the same time passing on what would be lots of positive attention from the 40 incher he caught.  Doesn't sound like anyone who will be participating to me.  Let's say he does "get away with it" and wins the tournament - I'm not too concerned about that happening.

More realistic scenario:  people realize as they catch bigger and bigger fish that carefully releasing those sought after targets is extremely rewarding both in terms of points scored and self esteem gained, and our group gets some well deserved PR for practicing conscientious fishing. 

If it all goes awry then I'll hope to learn a lesson about what's really happening at Gimmer Shelter.  I admit though, that I type that tongue-in-cheek, because I already know that the spirit of our group in terms of fairness, competition, pride and honor is strong enough to pull this off.   :smt001

Eric,

So the C&R bonus can be obtained by releasing your biggest of that species right?

Just clarifying...so if Zilla and I run out to our secret Ling hole we found last year, I catch and photo and release a fat 40 incher (yeah right!   :smt002) and then pick up two 30 inchers that I keep for the potluck I would be all good and get the C&R bonus for my 40 inch fish?

Never hurts to dream right?

Just want to make sure I'm dreaming correctly!

 :smt004

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

Welcome, Pinseeker_11!  It's really a pleasure to receive an entry from someone new who hasn't been to the tournament and I've never met.  I exprience gratification for being part of the energy that attracts someone to the event and a sense of responsibility for showing another person what a good time we have at Gimme Shelter.  Looking forward to meeting you and thanks for the hoodie order!   :smt001

In that order is legit. But what about if I catch & retain two 30" lings then C&R a 40" ling...that wouldn't count right? Because once you've retained your limit, you technically can't target that species anymore (according to dfg). It's not really encouraging the spirit of the C&R Bonus, either. But then again...I'm probably way over-thinking this thing.

It's a good point you raise, Pat.  I think we leave that up to the individual.  If someone's kept two 30's and then catches a whopper 40 they should leave it in the water to release it since they know they can't keep it.  If someone slipped a trough under it and snapped a pic then we'll never know if that pic was before or after they'd kept a limit of smaller fish.  Let's let people navigate that ethical landscape on their own and hope they find opportunities for learning, growth and appreciation.   

Everyone who participates at Gimme Shelter is, I feel, very likely to value the spirit of sportsmanship more than they value winning the tournament.  I may be wrong, but I will keep striving to make this a reality.  We can't be with every participant on their boat or with every team on the water, and I hope we would never have those as goals or concerns at an NCKA tournament.  We do espouse the values of individualism combined with sharing, hard fought battles linked with gentle handling of our target, and fierce competition always coupled with honor.

It's definitely intentional that I give Sportsman of the Day a nicer 10 inch ab than Angler of the Day receives.  :smt001

I appreciate the thought, Craig, but I'm stoked to continue gifting shells that are to me now old trophies that have lived a long life on the wall by the hot tub!  To have a motivation to clean them up and send them to a new life is actually quite rewarding in itself.  If you want to present yours as an award to a participant at GS6 that's up to you - I'd like to see you keep it, but I'm intrigued by the idea of passing it along to another club member who displays the kind of sportsmanship that we all appreciate.  The award has gone to highest catch and release only score, but I've stated with each SOTD awarded that I consider it an opportunity to award someone who does something heroic for the group.  The sportsmanship represented by catch and release is worthy of the award if we didn't have someone really rise above and stand out with a rescue or something.

Is the reserved area going to be subdivided, in case there are those who actually want to get some sleep the night before? I know, party pooper- but I get sleepy around midnight and a few beers...   :)
That's why I was considering getting a spot on the opposite end of the reserved area (for sleeping after the party).

sharkbait67 - I also addressed your question in your other thread. 

Generally, a waterproof VHF, PFD, dressing for immersion, carrying a compass, and knowing of other safety options is expected of all competitors.  We have a safety meeting Friday evening at the launch - much valuable information on the local area and general info about safety is available there.  Spending some time on the ocean prior to the event is very important too.  See you in May.   :smt001

Check this out - A blurb I saw on another board very recently:

For what it's worth, I've been hearing reports about lots of salmon being incidently caught at the Cove by the nearshore commercial rockfish fleet and sporties dragging for Callies and threshers. Some fish estimated in the mid teens.

So, some history:  salmon come closer to shore along the coast at Shelter Cove; the ocean salmon season used to start there the second weekend in February - I've had days years past in March where all the chovies in a bag got bit by salmon - granted, they're usually smaller (6 to 10 pounds), but there are bigger fish too.  Anyway, early sign of lots of salmon bodes very well for us.   :smt007

Right on, Kevin - I'm glad you're coming.  Tiff's a good mom and wife - she fished pregnant last year right?  Now she's sacrifing her time to take care of the little one - nice!  :smt001

I feel famous to make the picture spread even thought they got my bad side.  It's nice to having a stringer bigger than Brandi, but she probably did a bunch of CPR and I know she scored higher.

Most importantly I'm glad they mentioned NCKA......so GWHIZ doesn't have to pay them a visit to set them straight.

I'll check that out, Jimbo, and get back to you here.

Shirt people emailed back that it shouldn't be a problem, Jimbo.  The graphics may not fit as well, but we'll come up with something appealing.

Possibly, Jack.  I haven't finalized it, but I do know the "Linghead Vector" will be on the front of the black shirts in green ink and on the hoodies and white long sleeve shirts in black ink, as in past  years.  The graphic on the back will be wordy this year - last year's "GS5" in very large letters was fun, but it's time to go back to a longer text on the shirt like:

Gimme Shelter
Sixth Annual Kayakfishing Tournament
Shelter Cove, California
May 12th, 2012

and of course the tournament icon will be on there (the silhouette in my avatar).  Will that do?

The last I heard was there's one mini-suite left at The Tides Inn.  It's a 3 nights for the price of 2 deal - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, May 11th, 12th and 13th.  Call Julie at The Tides to check it out - (707) 986-7900

We may hold a small pre-potluck Friday evening on The Tides patio, and the main potluck and awards ceremony is held there Saturday night.  It's a rare spot, and we watch out for each other as only tournament participants stay there for the weekend.  Great beach access and close to the action at the ramp, fish cleaning station and campground.  Somebody snatch it up!   :smt001

Let's just say the Gimme Shelter 6th Anniversary Ale  yeast is starting to take off.  Should be 5 gallons of nice strong ale probably  close 8.5%  or greater.  :beer1  I broke my hydrometer during the process  :smt010 so won't be able to get an accurate one but it doesn't really matter as long as it tastes great!  Anyone else feel like brewing a batch , I will be bringing my co2 to keep it following. Will also bring a homemade rootbeer for those little beer drinker! :smt005

Wow 9 pounds of malt!  Lots of sugar to convert to alcohol.  The last batch I brewed with that much malt, blew the airlock off of the carboy after the secondary hopping.  Luckily, I was able to save it and ended up with a great Imperial IPA with 8.6% ABV.  I can loan you my Hydrometer if your anywhere near Danville before the brew is finished.

Hi Guys,

I'm considering joining the party at GS6, but my regular fishing buddy Mudshark will have a new puppy then and does not want to leave the dog at home with his girlfriend.  I want to go, and would like to car pool with someone heading up from the Sacramento area.  I don't mind driving, but would like to split gas and a camp site.  Shoot me a PM.

Should be plenty of sites.  I'm bringing the Team Something Jayco up.  There will be 4 of us in our site.

If the weather is like last year's it will handle it better than my tent.

Looking forward to the camping party.  Look for the NWKA dudes hanging around this mini hotel.

Nice work Abman.  I'm in thanks for the ride pinseeker.  I'll have to bird dog up a nice shelter flatty while up there.  I've never fished SC before so it'll be pretty much a learning experience for me.  You guys need any raffle stuff this year?  I might be able to score some duck stuff.  I have some duck art I could donate to the raffle, or maybe some hunting swag?

Still trying to decide what to haul down from Oregon and cook up for the Saturday potluck.  I've read about a lot of the great stuff you guys whip up there, and I'm dieing to get some of it.  Seriously!

I want to contribute to the feast for sure, so what do you think of a huge pile of stir fried cabbage?
Anyone have a favorite recipe I you recommend....spicy, sweet, garlic infused?

I built this 24" disc last year to quick fry 10-15 corn tortillas at at time for the NWKA 2011 ORC fish taco fest.  We made roughly 250-300 tacos in roughly 2 hours.  It should be able to fry up a huge amount of cabbage that would go with just about anything else provided, right?

Then it will be done!   :smt023

Handmade, not exactly.   However they are as fresh as right out of the bag and into some shallow hot oil to ripen to perfection. 
Making them really fresh fresh would require me to hire a team of ladies to assist me. 

Wait!

There will be ladies there, correct? 

If you can get me a small dedicated team of Chicas to work in harmony making the tortillas by hand, I'll continue their journey through the disc and out to happy hungry fisherman.
I've never made them that fresh, and have no idea what we would need in the way of product/recipe.

FYI Eric, when I asked about the campground area that was being blocked off for kayakers she said that they would block it off from Friday through Sunday....and that you would be coordinating it?

I said, ok, but I'm getting there early...so I reserved a spot (in the kayaking area, back along the fence) for wednesday and thursday and then should just be able to stay in the same spot through the rest of the weekend.

Thanks for the heads-up, Jim - I'll call and let them know that I'm not coordinating it!  I'm of the opinion that the campground should actually do their business themselves, but I'll try to be diplomatic and positive about telling them that my involvement will be minimal.  If anyone chooses to be a campground-tournament liaison I'd be glad to appoint you and turn over the reigns on all things campground.   :smt001

Thanks for the heads-up, Jim - I'll call and let them know that I'm not coordinating it!  I'm of the opinion that the campground should actually do their business themselves, but I'll try to be diplomatic and positive about telling them that my involvement will be minimal.  If anyone chooses to be a campground-tournament liaison I'd be glad to appoint you and turn over the reigns on all things campground.   

Yeah, I thought it didn't sound right....it was Sara who I spoke to at the campground...she was super nice though!

I'd like to toss another prize into the great looking lineup beyond the grand prize that has been procured so far. 

An "INSAYN Design" 10# Kayak Drift Anchor.


I randomly make a short run of these 10# drift anchors up here for the NW crew to buy, and have one left set aside just for this event.  The anchor is a unique design I came up with that has the sticking power of a heavier anchor, but only 10#'s.  It sports a stainless eye bolt so it can be used in salty bays, estuaries, and brackish rivers.  The bottom is flat to keep from poking holes in the deck surface of plastic kayaks.

Note it standing next to a 25# 4 sided anchor (minus an eye bolt).  The shovel face is the ticket to getting a great bite in the river bottom.   :thumright:

Any tackle tips for salmon an halibut?

I've been fishing at Shelter Cove for many years, and I used to use lots of leadheads, swimtails, knife jigs...etc.  Now I run a barbless rig with an anchovie or herring - catches everything sometimes, but not always the ticket.  I will run bait 99% of the time because it more often catches lingcod, big rockies and cabs, salmon, and halibut.  A "mooching" slip rig is legal for salmon if you're trolling, and fixed circle hooks if you're actually sitting still mooching.  You can catch pacific halibut on the troll, but you're more likely to hook one off the bottom.  There's a tackle maker up here - B2 Squid - that makes some great stuff for the halibut, and lots of people add herring or salmon/tuna bellies to that.

Mark my word:  you do not want to catch a 25 pound salmon and have to release it because you weren't legal for it...  I expect many more salmon to be caught this year.

New entries today:  just a couple of chumps who WON the tournament (GS3 and GS4)!!   :smt003  Welcome back, Eduardo Abuan and Jim Russell - better known as Jedmo and Big Jim.  Looking forward to hanging with you guys.   :smt001

Post by: matanaska on March 05, 2012, 05:38:05 PM
If you have a salmon onboard, then you have to fish with barbless hooks until the salmon is off your yak.  There are no laws that prohibit having barbed hooks in possession while fishing for salmon.

The raffle is totally separate from the tournament registration, Tim, so you'd have to buy raffle tickets separately.

Also, got a mockup back from my shirt guy.  I'm intentionally basic with my shirts, with a little variation each year but a common motif that ties the years together.  The green ink will be cool this year to go with last year's red and GS4's blue.  The green will be a bit more foresty as this is more yellow than I want - basically it'll be Emerald Triangle Green.   :smt003  (like that shit-eatin' grin smiley or whatever he's called   :smt005)

Right on!  I'm glad you're coming.   :smt001

I don't think you'll need to make a reservation, but do call the campground and tell them you're coming so they can anticipate how much space we'll need for the group camp - it's $20/night/person to be in the group area which is basically a couple dozen small sites in a block and has seemed like plenty of space with a great NCKA-only presence, OR you can reserve a spot outside the group area and pay full price (which is a lot for little sites).  Shelter Cove Rv Campground Store & Deli - (707) 986-7474

Right on, Bro!  That is one of the essential pieces of safety gear when you get serious about the ocean, and Shelter Cove is no place to go on the ocean without a VHF. 

As a reminder to the tournament participants, you are required to be with a team where AT LEAST one working waterproof VHF is present.  Thx, Jim, for posting up and happy birthday, My Brother.   :smt001

I would fish with Craig. I will actually fish with any team. I just don't want to step on any toes. Was looking at the Loose Screws but they are already full.

If I can get one of the Headwaters guys to fish maybe I will start a Headwaters Team.

I am in.  Check in the mail ASAP
- Etienne and I met on the original Gimme Shelter hookup - we tried for crabs and fished for salmon in March on a cold ocean with snow on King's Peak.  Along with Sonny / Sailfish, Pat / Sin Coast, Hawk / Swellrider, and Chris / MBYakker, we paddled in formation trolling anchovies, Crocodiles, and other salmon gear but we came up with scarcely more than a couple of strikes in miles of trolling.  The spirit of the trip was in the energy we shared and Good Times were had as we rockfished from shore and hung at their camp. 

Meeting up with my original GS brothers is always special, and I felt the need to call sackyack tonight to remind him of the great time we have created at GS and how I want to meet him there again. 

Thank you, Etienne, for your immediate response - that level of friendship and good times is what Gimme Shelter is all about.   I look forward to seeing you, and would welcome you on our team as a founding member of the tournament.  :smt001

Yesterday I spent some time making tackle and poring lead.  I can't wait to put this stuff to work for some salmon, halibut, and lings.  2 more weeks til Shelter Cove salmon recon mission.  I might use a down rigger on my yak this year.  Last year was a good salmon year for me and this year might be in the top 3 which means 30lb hogs being slayed.

Nice carnage, Rob!   :smt007 I am not at all opposed to playing up the salmon potentials to the max - we have an excellent chance of seeing quite a few salmon caught this year, and there should be some size!   :smt007 :smt007 :smt007

We've hit 60 registered yakkers.   :smt001

The only kids' orders so far are both for DrHabanero - Jimbo's getting sizes 4T and 5T, but I don't know how the graphics will fit on the little shirts.  If you want to order one I would just caution that it may not be exactly what we all envision...  If we're just talking kid's size small you should be fine, but if you get down into the "T"/Toddler sizes it gets a little more sketchy regarding how the art will come out.

                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE

To avoid anymore confusion and save me unnecessary time and effort, :smt013
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:

1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Word, Brother Tad - nice work.   :smt008

And in case you didn't notice, an engraved placquard will be added to a perpetual Trophy Trough each year with the name of the winning team.  The perpetual Trough stays with Abking and may accumulate scales, slime and blood throughout the year.   :smt003  It's also the official measuring device for the tournament check-in.  Yes, Sherlock, there are two 48"+ Trophy Troughs.   :smt001

    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

I'm on the verge of getting the ok from the wife, still working on it though.

Also, I'd like to bring my dad to do some fishing as well, but he doesn't kayak and isn't a strong swimmer so kayaking is out for him.  Does anyone know if there are any party/charter boats out there I can get him onto for Saturday?  I know he would enjoy the experience.

They might be booked for the lingcod/rockfish opener, but give it a shot - these guys know their stuff and catch some amazing fish both close to the Cove (where we'll be yakking) as well as areas within 10 miles of launch.   Good luck, and I hope you and your Dad can make it.   :smt001

But only until April 30.  Rumor has it that the PFMC has agreed to May 1 opening for this summer - they should announce today or tomorrow, they have been meeting all this week.  We should know in a matter of a few hours but all indications are yes, we will be fishing for salmon.

I'd like to trade some saltwater flies for a home made ab iron & gauge. Leaf spring steel would be very cool for the iron, aluminum for the gauge would be good. Any interest?

We should know in a matter of a few hours but all indications are yes, we will be fishing for salmon.

It's official - salmon season will be open for GS6.   :smt007 :smt001 :smt007 :smt001 :smt007 :smt001

There is something goofy with Dell warranties.  I think if you pay the warranty retroactive they will still fix your computer.  My financial advisor is still rocking 05,07 laptops I swear.

Yes, shuttle recommended! 

I think Albion had 120 last year, and I don't know if there are bigger events down south.

Post by: BANJOTAD on April 11, 2012, 05:37:30 PM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE

To avoid anymore confusion and save me unnecessary time and effort, :smt013
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:

1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Albion was CA's largest kayak fishing tournament last year at 126 (I think), but mostly because attendance for the Steve Moyer Tourney down South has dwindled from just over 200 a few years ago, to I think 118 last year.

I've heard of over 150 at a couple San Diego tournies. Wouldn't wanna deal with numbers that big!

It is not about the the numbers, it is the quality of the experience. I have fished SCAL tourneys and they don't compare to ours for the following reasons:
#1 We are a brotherhood and sisterhood that cant be compared to any other. We actually like each other and want each other to succeed, not true in SCAL :smt011
#2 Our events are actually a multi-day camping experience not a 1 day tourney
#3 The potluck and food are a huge part of the event and experience almost more important than the fishing. I think the loose screws have set this standard.

As far as launch logistics, GS has a large launch zone and unlike the Moyer, it is not a shotgun launch. The natural selection of hard core anglers launching at grey light vs hard core party folk launching around noon helps ease the launch issues.  :smt044 :smt044 :smt044

Well said, Scott, and I've tried to keep it quality over quantity by only making reg materials available here and promoting it only here, at our sister site of NWKA, and an entry on LCKA's FB - that combined with the early closing of registration is testament to the popularity of Gimme Shelter, and I'm very happy with that. But being biggest on west coast with all the rest considered would be cool, I admit.  :smt001

Eric -

The distance from LA to SD is 90 minutes. The distance from SF to Shelter Cove is 3 hours+. The fact that you can get 100+ guys and gals to drive that far with gas costs off the chart is a testimony of the quality of the event. As Dylan said, don't think twice its all right.

I'm arriving on Thursday with three kegs. Maybe I should save one for the potluck in case we run out. Do you have a keg count Doc?

Eric just received my registration which I sent on Saturday. I know of two people he hasn't received yet. I bet we surpass 130 easy by the end of next week!

I mailed the cash yesterday, I am new to kayak fishing, I do have a VHF radio and gear (I think, at least I hope I do), I have not fish on the coast with a kayak only from boats, I do not have a team but would like to be in one if possible.
most likely will be traveling solo but if anyone need a ride from Vallejo,  I could take someone else along with his kayak. a little bit of cash would be appreciated since fuel is so high, but don't mind driving.
I have been looking at the videos and I want to have fun too.
I guess I would leave on Friday around noon and comeback either Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Post by: BANJOTAD on April 13, 2012, 05:52:27 AM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Hey,

A few of us are looking into getting a vacation home for the weekend.  We have about 4-5 guys, and are looking for maybe 4-5 more.  If we can get at least 8, it will be ~$40/night for Friday-Sunday. Its about a half mile from the campground, so we can party with ya'lls in the evening, then retire to more civilized accommodations!  :smt044

Reply or PM with interest, thanks!

I rented a small house that I'm sharing with two of my team-mates.  The total cost including the cleaning fee is $55 per night each.  I rented it sight-unseen and it's supposed to be pretty small but it has a bathroom and a kitchen.  It's also less than a mile from the launch.  I rented it several months ago through the "HomeAway" web site.  I had to place a hefty refundable deposit to reserve it but it's an alternative to camping or the pricey motels.

Heads up, Everyone, this is a very good idea!!!   :smt001

Shelter Cove is laid out to where you'll never be too far from the action if you find a rental somewhere near the airstrip, and, like Fiver and FnB have info on here, there are some good deals to be had.  Having a place to wash gear and hang it out of the weather, shower, take shelter in the evening if the wind blows and it rains...etc., is pretty huge. 

Sorry, Campers, for being a downer!   :smt005  You guys kick ass and I know nothing will affect you.   :smt003

Get your place to stay situated, because things are blowing out - we're up to 124 paid participants as of today (have yet to update and post), so there will be at least a couple to a few hundred NCKA related people in the Cove for the weekend.   :smt001

Sorry guys, I can't make it this year. I'm going to Maui. I couldn't get a decent deal at any other time. Believe me, I tried. I'm happy about going to Hawaii but super bummed about not being able to attend GS6. It's all good though, I will make it up there sometime this season, so be on the lookout for a GS6.1 hookup. Have a great time everyone, and don't forget your crab traps!

Victor,  I'm not pouring to sell.  My baits are similar to Big Hammer with a slightly different tail.  I'll give you a couple to try next time I see you.  Makin' beer and baits is just the way I utilize my spare time.  I need to get some root beer dye to follow Eric's recommendation.

Just watched Al's GS3 flick again - this is good stuff showing lots of the catch potential at the Cove:

Yes, but that's the group area - if you rent a space in the campground OUTSIDE the group area it's like $35/night or something, but they're small sites.  You should call the campground to discuss the different options and accurate prices.  (707) 986-7474.  Maybe you could broker a deal for group area at $40/night because the kids won't be cleaning gear or taking up much space with vehicle or yak...

I hope you make it up.   :smt001

                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

I see that I have been assigned a team.  Thanks.  Better than having to decide among friends.

I will get there Weds late and plan to fish crab dive on Thurs.  Who else will be up there early and want to show a beginner some ab tricks.

 :smt005 :smt044 :smt005 :smt044
Wait till she remembers it's "Mother's Day" weekend

Yeah, the wife doesn't know exactly when I'm leaving yet either and hasn't put two and two together yet in regards to Mother's day...  :smt005

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

When the time comes and she asks I'm gonna blame it on Jim!! :smt081
When I come home hungover and tired as hell I'm gonna blame it on Jim as well, gonna throw Andy under that bus while I'm at it.  :smt002

That's cool....you blame me, and I'll blame you, and we'll just sneak out in the dark on Wednesday morning!

 :smt005

For me...if I bring home a cooler full of abs, uni, dungies and fish I'll be all good.

Well yesterday was the day the wife finally asked about the trip when I started rummaging through the camping stuff. She said all she knew was she sent a check for it and the trip was sometime in May. My response just a couple of days... Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, back sometime on Sunday. Lucky for me she is a great wife and the trip won't cost too many WAF points.
Gonna be a great time from the sounds of it.

Easy, Chachi.  Don't let yourself get too excited.  There is a distinct discipline that is needed in order to stay sane for 3.5 more weeks.   :smt003

I finalized the shirt art today, and my gear order is sitting around three grand!  Domenic just got more hooks in the mail so he can finish out 14 dozen custom leadhead jigs for us.  I've got hours of Hawg Trough Extension production to fit in at work.    :smt005  I need to whitewash and draw lines and boxes on two sheets of plywood for the scoreboards.  I'm wondering how 250 people will look on the patio at The Tides.  And if one bathroom is enough!  I love all this shit!   :smt007

But pace yourself.   :smt004

the wife knows I am going but I don't think she knows it will be for 5 days!!

 :smt005 :smt044 :smt005 :smt044
Wait till she remembers it's "Mother's Day" weekend

Yeah, the wife doesn't know exactly when I'm leaving yet either and hasn't put two and two together yet in regards to Mother's day...  :smt005

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

When the time comes and she asks I'm gonna blame it on Jim!! :smt081
When I come home hungover and tired as hell I'm gonna blame it on Jim as well, gonna throw Andy under that bus while I'm at it.  :smt002

That's cool....you blame me, and I'll blame you, and we'll just sneak out in the dark on Wednesday morning!

 :smt005

For me...if I bring home a cooler full of abs, uni, dungies and fish I'll be all good.

 :smt002

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

Well yesterday was the day the wife finally asked about the trip when I started rummaging through the camping stuff. She said all she knew was she sent a check for it and the trip was sometime in May. My response just a couple of days... Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, back sometime on Sunday. Lucky for me she is a great wife and the trip won't cost too many WAF points.
Gonna be a great time from the sounds of it.
Can't ask for more than that in a wife. Best of luck out there Jim.

Post by: BANJOTAD on April 18, 2012, 06:49:21 AM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Registration closed in mid April.   

3 new entries today, and BTW, it took 6 days for mail to get here from Washington, but it may take only a couple from the Bay Area...  The postmark is the key.  Southern Humboldt got here overnight.   :smt003

Gary Mason / Prophet - welcome back!  and Nick Mason / Guest - welcome!  And a big welcome back to Jack Whiting / KayakJack!  Looking forward to living on tacos part of the time.   :smt001

Post by: LoletaEric on April 19, 2012, 09:46:58 PM
I'd say they've usually blocked off around two dozen sites for us.  If everyone who's doing the group thing calls them to say they're coming then they'll know how much to give us.  It could be a busy time, but not really.  The opener is mostly locals, and the campers and tourists don't show up in numbers until summer (we hope...).   :smt001

It'll be fine.   :smt001

I recommend using Rolleez, and the key is to launch very close in to the jetty. 

It'll be interesting.  I did warn the locals through Humboldt Tuna Club.

Didn't see your name on the list and registration is closed so does that means you're not coming to the GS6?

Registration closed at midnight on tax day which was 4/17/12.  If someone mailed the registration on that day it might take several days for Eric to receive it hence "total anglers still TBD".

Why would they close registration?

It takes a lot of prep work to organize an event of this size,
By closing the registration it allows the organizers time to prep for things and gives them a realistic head count.
If registration were left open till the last minute, there would be no way to get an actual count as many procrastinate till the last minute ... this makes it very difficult to prep for the event.
I'm sure if you missed the registration date (after being posted for 4 months or more) you could still come fish with the group, just wouldn't be an official competitor (couldn't win prizes and would not receive bag).

Just my thoughts, Eric would have the official say ... may want to send him a pm.

Eric's correct.  There are lots of preparations to make and gear to order and pack prior to the tournament.  Scoreboards to prepare too.  Also, I don't want to hold a tournament where people could decide late whether to attend based on water and weather - it's either in or out about a month early.

If you have never attended an NCKA tournament, I guess you would have no idea how much work these guys who put them on do.  Having never organized one myself, but attended many, guys like Eric, Yakhopper, Ravensblack, and others work their asses off to make these things happen.  The best thing we can do as participants in these events is to register as early as possible so the organizers can begin getting things done ahead of time.  I know some may not have the cash but those who do would really be helping the Host/organizer by registering as early as possible.

Depend what's your definition of decent  :smt003  Yes SC has a general store with minimal goods and a gasoline pump.  If you need lots of groceries, I would pick them up at Garberville's supermarket.

When you turn off of 101 at Garberville to head to Shelter Cove you pass through the town of Redway and they have a decent store right before you make the left to go to Shelter Cove.  About 23 miles away and 45 minutes to drive.

The lady broke her leg in 3 places in roller derby so honestly I cant make plans just hoping she heals, but Im a horrible planner anyway. Had I payed attention I may have just sent the $ cash as support, giving me the opportunity to show up spontaneously, or not...

I spoke to the campground owner and have details worked out - he's aware of the big numbers coming his way.  I put up a poll that I'd like everyone to respond to so we can get an idea of how many heads are staying in the group area.  Jack assured me he has plenty of space to make adjustments if necessary.

There is a drum beating in the back of my head that represents my building anticipation and energy, and I have to keep myself focused to keep it from overtaking me.  I should probably be on trainquilizers by about Cinco de Mayo.   :smt005

This was a case of a check snafu and the need for a concession.  The fact that I could speak to my Bro about this on the phone, and work it out, with the vivid and meaningful relationship we have online too, was like a bonus dose of reality for the moment.  I'm all overwhelmed by all of it tonight.  I love it.  Thanks for calling, Bro.  It's all good.  :smt001

Post by: LoletaEric on April 21, 2012, 08:21:53 PM
Here's what I have to offer to everyone:  this map shows an L at launch, and the general area that most of us will fish is within the red outline.  There's an X and a 1 on the way out to the (green) Bell Buoy, which I've underlined and is a little less than a mile nearly south from launch.  That X represents where I've caught quite a few salmon over the years including my largest 38 pounder trolling an anchovy.  It's also a great rockfish and lingcod area, and there's halibut potential - crabbing area is just inshore from there in about 50 to 60 FOW.  X with 2 by it is a nice set of pinnacles on the way out to the Whistle Buoy, which is red, about a mile west of the Bell, and I've underlined (the "Red Can").  This area is so good for all species, and when the wind and swell allow it's nice to venture out further here.  Lots of salmon get caught trolling within 2 miles of the Whistle, and much of that is right around it.  The rough part of that area is it can be snaggy - I lost $30 in gear there the other day when I spaced it and trolled my DeepSix/Dodger/chovie over the reef there where some kelp shows. 

--Side Note about trolling with the expensive and cumbersome DeepSix:  taking the chance of losing about $30 in gear trolling for salmon with the DS and a dodger/flasher is different - you need to get to know depths and the layout of the reef before you will have confidence sending that gear down.  Generally, you can tell from the powerboat fleet where everyone is trolling and how deep - most of them have DR, so I even troll my expensive salmon rig over the reef and try to just watch out.  You can catch every species with that setup, but it's a bummer to snag it up and lose it. 

So X with 3 by it is a common trolling area where you can also catch the other species - I've caught a few 20 pound class salmon in this area including my early season score. 

The 4 is with the arrows outside the red outline - when the wind and swell allow many will get further outside the Whistle to try for halibut, troll for salmon, jig for dabs, pickup some sporadic monster rockies, lings and cabs around the 120' cutoff...etc. 

The 5 is a reminder of the prevailing current and usual winds.  Unless we have a specific call for south winds, the winds and current that come up will be from the north to northwest most of the time.  It can often be the case that the entire fleet is fishing in around the Whistle and there are sheep herds further outside - that mess can make its way inside all the way to the ramp some afternoons or even late morning some times.  Other days it never makes it in, and the place is paradise.  Continue to pray for calm seas.   :smt001

As for what to use, you know I like my expensive salmon trolling rig with DeepSix, Herring Dodger and slip rig with anchovy - and it will catch ALL species, but I also often run a banana weight with a mooching rig with fixed barbless circle hooks and a herring near the bottom - especially if I'm sitting there doing something else - just pop that second rod down while you work.  Leadheads, knife jigs, shrimp flies, squid...etc. all works, but I prefer just chovies and herring any more.  I've fished all that hardware lots in the past, and that will be the mainstay of most and will catch lots of fish.  Find what you like and go for it!  I can't wait.   :smt001

Also, ALL of the area within that red outline is prime rockfish, lingcod, cabezon and greenling territory.  If it's rough or windy we actually have good potential for most species and good size fish within 1/2 mile of the launch.

You're welcome, Antonio - my pleasure.   :smt001

After looking at it, I've given info based on my salmon obsession and other focus on halibut - these are definitely harder species to catch.

As for rockfish, lingcod, cabezon...  The green area is where to be, and the X is where so many of us were just hammering it at GS3. 

Here are the standards I hope to see met by our group if conditions allow:

- several 20 pound lingcod;
- several 8 to 10 pound cabezon;
- several 22 to 24 inch rockfish;
- greenling to 17.5";
- more salmon than we've ever caught at a GS event;
- multiple Pacific Halibut caught in one day.

Post by: BANJOTAD on April 22, 2012, 07:58:50 AM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Thats a beautifull cheat sheet Eric,Now to find them in the fog :smt044.Whats the regs  regarding having barbed hooks in yak or  other poll while trolling for Salmon?Is it that I have only barbless systems while going for salmon?I think thats true but whould like a little clarification for some of us,thanx

Yes, it's about what you have rigged up at the time you're targeting salmon or when you have them on board.

Eric,

Great map info. I took your map and did a overlay in Google Earth. Fellow yakers will be able to get GPS numbers, depths and distances to and from where ever they would like on the map, including to your marked areas. I also mapped out paths to all your marked areas from the launch.
Google Earth is an awesome program, I'll use it after a fishing trip in combo with my Handheld GPS #'s to mark where I caught fish, placed my traps, etc. Based on my logged GPS intel, I'll try to find similar productive areas based on my trip waypoints for my next outing on the water. I'll keep track of all my data and eventually have a spot figured out. There is so many benefits to using this program as a fisherman.

Directions...

Download the the Google Earth ap. http://www.google.com/earth/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=ha&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sk-eargen&utm_term=earth%20download (http://www.google.com/earth/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=ha&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sk-eargen&utm_term=earth%20download)

Download my attached GS6.kmz file (this is the google earth file with the map)http://www.whitemountaingraphics.com/gs6/gs6.kmz (http://www.whitemountaingraphics.com/gs6/gs6.kmz)

Drag and drop Eric's map with the green markings onto your desktop (The name of the file should be index.jpg)

Once you have the ap downloaded and both files on your desktop. Drag the GS6.kmz file into the Google Earth icon.

It should open up at Shelter Cove with Eric's map (index.jpg) overlayed on top of GE. Hopefully GE finds the index.jpg map by itself. If not you might have to point GE to the map on your desktop.

Ok good luck yall and I hope it works for out for everyone. Be safe and see you all at GS6. Mike

I'm going tomorrow since I didnt end up going this last weekend.  My backup VHF radio STD Horizon HX751L will be here today so now I can charge my old STD Horizon HX751L.  If time allows, I will have my Crack of Dawn rudder installed so I can test it out when trolling tomorrow.  I will have a report when I get back.

Here's another shot I found that gives a pretty good visual of the area.  The Tides at the far left, lighthouse in the center, campground/launch just out of the pic on the right.  My vaca pad is at the far end of the main drag, far enough away from the drunken debauchery I may actually be able to return next year!  :smt002

+1 on the saving of the Karma.  I never took a practice swing when playing golf because I figured God only gave me a finite number of good swings and there was no sense risking wasting a good one.  I'm hoping my lack of fishing these last few weeks will provide some good Karma at GS.  For what it's worth, the lack of a practice swing never worked very well and I quit playing.  I guess Karma didn't work with golf.  Fishing the salt is what it's all about for me!  Can't wait!!

Andy1976 has been in touch and is planning to bring his bling to the GS thing (it's sometimes primetime for a rhyme   :smt003)

I think he'll have them to offer for trade and sale (don't want to speak for him) and there should be a nice offering for the prize pool.  Thanks, Andy, and I'm glad you're coming!   :smt001

Title: Re: GS6 - 5/12/12 - Registration open through 4/12/12
Post by: BANJOTAD on April 27, 2012, 05:42:58 PM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Thanks, Dustin - I just found that out too.  Thanks to whoever got it!

I put a new headline up about wheeling to the ramp and walking to the potluck.  One of the biggest issues I'm concerned about is traffic congestion!  Wheeling your boat to the ramp is important as there is limited parking down there.  For the launch on tournament day the tide will be very low, so there'll be lots of room at the ramp, but not parking room.  It's possible to drive your boat down, drop everything off in a ready position, and drive back up to park at the campground or elsewhere, but parking down there will be a mess.  Just so you get a good impression of this, it's less than a 5 minute Roleez trip from the campground down to the ramp - maybe 1/3 of a mile tops and more like a quarter mile if that.  As for parking for the potluck, we don't want to plug up the cul de sac because across the street is the Oceanfront Inn and Cove Restaurant.  Parking for the potluck is in a field to the north side of The Tides, but it's best to walk from the campground as it's very close.  Thx   :smt001

Post by: BANJOTAD on May 01, 2012, 03:29:06 PM
                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

If it's your first time on this road please make sure to take Eric's advice.

Can't stress enough how important it is to take your time along Shelter Cove road from Redway to the Cove.  Leave yourself 45 minutes to an hour - see the sights along the ridge above Whitethorn, and be sure to pull off and let locals/faster vehicles pass by.  You'll be there soon enough, and there's no margin for error on much of the road.  ALL vehicles should use low gears on the way down two different ridges - the final descent being long enough to smoke the brakes of any rig.  DON'T MESS WITH IT!  Go slow and use low gears.

Safe travels.   :smt001

Not much coming out of the Cove lately, Andy - it's been windy.  The season opened up here out of Humboldt Bay today and very few boats went out due to wind and swell - no one caught fish.  The wind is up right now, and that bodes well for us...  I hope!  It's gotta calm down sometime.

This time of year can be windy and tough to get out, or you can get a stretch of sweet water and sunshine with the salmon biting even close in to the moorings at the Cove.  We'll get 'em.   :smt001

Check this out from USA Fishing just now:  Shelter Cove:

Captain Trent Slate of Shelter Cove Sport Fishing said, “The weather was horrible on Sunday 4-29 and they couldn't get out, but we were able to get out in the morning on Saturday 4-28 for a troll near the Red Can.” After pulling the crab pots to cull 20 large crab out of the 35 in the five pots, they trolled for three hours, releasing three shakers. Slate said, “I was just about ready to quit when lightning struck, and we hit two doubles in a row within 15 minutes and finished with our salmon limits.” He added, “We got bit again as soon as we got our lines back in the water.” He has his first charter next Saturday for crab/salmon, and he will be running a combination of salmon/crab, salmon/crab/Pacific halibut, and salmon/crab/Pacific halibut/ling and rock cod once the rockfish season opens above the 40/10 line on May 15th.

That's how it is - put in your time and the bite will happen.  (and the rockfish/ling season DOES open the 12th!   :smt012)

It's Stormsurf:  http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display.cgi?a=mendo (http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display.cgi?a=mendo)

There are also wind and other forecasts on there, but I just use the swell forecast, and it's been very accurate over the past few years of comparing it to NWS forecasting.

A blurb from a Humboldt Tuna Club report from today at the Cove:

A friend from Sandpoint Id. came down to visit and salmon fish for a day. He picked a GOOD day to fish at the cove. Started at 10am, saw a large group of birds right before the BELL, stopped for no love, decided to troll to the place we got them last time. We approached the whistle from the downhill side and had a hit, that turned into our first fish the day. Green apex 40 pulls on a deep six. Then all hell broke loose doubles and triples reported by many on the radio, every depth, and anything that was in the water. We landed a triple that included a twenty. From what I gathered even a blind mouse would have found food today at the cove.

 We finished with limits for three in three and a half hours. Largest just over twenty, smallest about ten, average was about 13 pounds. Very EASY day here today on a beautiful ocean very close to home! Gotta love the Cove!

Also, I know we need barbless hooks, but do they need to be barbless circle?

North of Pt. Conception: No more than two (2) single-point, single-shank barbless hooks shall be used, and no more than one rod per angler when fishing for salmon or fishing from a boat or floating device with salmon on board.

Horse Mountain to Point Arena (Fort Bragg)

Open April 7 - November 11, 2012

    2 salmon per day of any species except coho
    Minimum size limit: 20 inches (total length)


Horse Mt. to Pt. Conception: If fishing with bait and angling by any other means than TROLLING1, no more than two (2) single-point, single-shank barbless CIRCLE HOOKS 2 shall be used. The distance between the two hooks must not exceed five (5) inches when measured from the top of the eye of the top hook to the inner base of the curve of the lower hook and both hooks must be permanently tied in place (hard tied).
NOTE: These special gear restrictions apply to each angler fishing for salmon or fishing from any boat or floating device with salmon on board.

Post by: LoletaEric on May 02, 2012, 10:00:58 PM
Here's the deal:

- circle hooks are ONLY required for mooching.
- 99% of the time I'm trolling my non-circle hook slip rig - it's not hard to troll 1.5 to 2 MPH.
- I do keep some fixed circles handy for when I stop to eat lunch, take a leak, or otherwise work on something so I'm not paddling.
- ALL other times I'm trolling - downrigger is cool, but I've caught almost all my salmon with DeepSix - go with the biggest size, even Double DeepSix.  I've also caught them with a banana weight and a chovie.  Apex is popular at the Cove, and many have been catching without a flasher or dodger.  I run a dodger.
- BE READY FOR SALMON!  I'll be bummed to hear of people not being ready, but I think it's inevitable.  BE READY!!!   :smt001

Rob's on overdrive!   :smt005  I'd say one pound will do, but if you have the lead then go for it!   :smt003

**************************************************************************************

I don't want to be a downer here, but...

When people catch salmon with barbed hooks or otherwise illegal gear it's something that can get around...  BE READY, and encourage your teammates to be ready.  You've gotta go into it with a level of preparation and some level of communication of your intent so that you are never scrutinized for possibly catching a salmon without using the legal gear.

BE READY!!!   :smt001

The beauty of it, Derrick, is that you can catch all species on a more simple (and legal) rig.  If you put an "Alabama Rig" out for halibut and you hook something else you'll be looking bad, Bro, for going overboard on the hooks when it prevents you from keeping some of the fish it will catch.  Hope I'm not too preachy for you.   :smt001

    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes :smt002

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me. :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Got two questions ,that are probably repetative but want to be right on. Can I fish with barbed rockcod gear for non salmon species after boating (in possesion) a limit of salmon, or do I have to unload salmon off Kayak before fishing barbed gear ? How much weight (oz.) is typically used to bottom bounce a threeway swivel set up at The Cove . Iam shure LoletaEric can answer my question !  :smt003 WAITING SUCKS!! :smt010Peace Out....Jose

Barb question:  You have to unload the salmon before using barbs again.

As far as the bottom bouncing I recommend a pound, but I guess it would depend on how deep your fishing and your line.

Is predicting the weather and swells this far out really science?  The local weather guys seem to be wrong as often as they're right, even on the short range projections.  Accuweather shows temperatures in the low 60s with NNW winds 14 to 24MPH.  for Saturday, 5/12.

Great photo of me standing on the yak, Dom!  I love it!!  Thanks for posting those.   :smt001

Jose - Matanaska's right on - unload those salmon prior to fising with barbs, or go barbless all day.  4 to 6 ounce leadheads are common for jigging.

Yeah, I saw that Stormsurf forecast bump up a bit, but we'll have to wait and see.

Encouraging is the NNW wind call - the more north there is in the wind the more it potentially misses the Cove.

Keep fingers crossed!

You caught my reasoning why I do this. It helps keep this on the mind of those that have not experienced tourney conditions. Just try fishing Albion and you find out if you got what it takes ( at least a couple of years ago)  :smt005 . Nothing like chumming along to help the fishing conditions :smt078

Going over the regs again just to be sure of everything, as Oregon and Cali have some differences. 

I thought I read somewhere only 2 hooks allowed for rocks, ling, cabs, etc.... I'm not finding this now.  Up here we use 2 shrimp/squid flies above a big jig head, is that going to get me into trouble?

Also, regarding ocean salmon, I don't see any regs about needing to be being fin clipped or not?

Craig - we used to run 4 flies over a leadhead back in the day.  The law here has limited rockfishing to two hooks for several years now.  One fly above a leadhead is the standard now.

As for fin-clipped, that's not done on all hatchery fish down here, so that standard is not followed.  Even if you catch a fin-clipped coho you can't keep it down here.

Forecast is doing some back and forth schizo stuff, but all in all it's not looking too bad.  Here's Friday morning at 11AM - the good part of this particular forecast shot is that there's not an increasing gradient of swells heading in from the NW, which is what you typically see if a disturbance is approaching.  Tomorrow we'll get the forecast view for tourney morning.   :smt007

Awesome Eric!!!

Also guys remember your Salmon regs while on the water if you troll in the morning and hook into some salmon there is no switching to rockfish with your traditional gear(swimbaits, irons) everything if not trolling must be Circle hooks once you have a salmon on the yak. So keep that in your mind when your planning your attack.

Hope everyone is planning to have some tight lines. I know I will next week at this time. Im stuck at work on a 120hr shift and when I get off I am packing and getting my stuff loaded and going to try and jet down. Should be heading out of South Eureka by 3pm at the latest Friday. Locked and loaded. Gear will be tied ready for a dusk troll wx permitting.

The long range swell forcast on some of the swell sites is looking great.

Yeah, Scott, ugly stuff, but I think midday Wednesday may actually have a window for the earliest arrivals like Big Jim and CNew.  Thursday looks crappy, but getting out will likely be in the cards for those with experience on wind and swell.

.WED...N WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 5 TO 7 FT. NW SWELL 7 TO 9 FT...BUILDING TO 10 TO 12 FT. 
.THU...N WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 3 TO 5 FT. NW SWELL 9 TO 11 FT.

Heads up on frying food at The Tides Inn: 

Taco shack has a special Abking permit to contain frying activities along the fence at the north end of the patio.  EDIT:  All other frying, BBQing and other cooking should be done there and will have to meet some standard of minimal impact.  I'll remind people that day and will appreciate help from others with reminding those who want to fry, BBQ and otherwise cook food to do it in the right place.  We'll figure it out there too, but just go into it with the expectation that we will NOT have any frying going on on The Tides' concrete patio or their landscaping.  We need all that room for people, and we cannot create any hazards or degrade their property.

Thanks!   :smt001

That sounds cool, Scott.  Would love to see some of that.   :smt001

Dan - thx!  I went ahead and bought a new one and figured I'll have a backup now.  Thx too for offering the support boat - I'm stoked to have you out there with us and will sport some gas money on the tourney for sure.   :smt001

TBONE - good question!  The Tides is a pretty rare spot right on the water with an indoor alternative in the double garage (last year dozens of us in the garage...) - it's been a great spot, but we're definitely outgrowing it.  Next year I plan to check into using the community center.  The campground option would be cool only if we know the weather would allow for it.   Anyway, I'm confident we can work out an area for the cooking and frying that will allow for safety, cleanliness, and leaving room for people on the main patio area.  Canvass tarps come to mind as something that could allow for an area that's self contained and would block the wind.  Canvass onto the cyclone fence and down onto the concrete sounds ideal, with the option of putting up a pop-up to tie it together.  Anyone have a couple big canvass tarps?

Eric - Just wanted to let everyone know the launch ramp has become sanded in substantially since last year.  Powerboats can only launch in a narrow area near the breakwater now especially at other than higher tides.

Hand carting the yaks to and from the launch area should help - may need to single file if heavy traffic.  Some of the self launcher powerboats and tractors with heavy boats can have trouble stoping on the grade.

Also  it will be very beneficial to leave a clear path for the tractors/self launchers to make the turn at the bottom of the road to the right, as well as room for them to pull up the beach in line to back into the water in the deepest area near the breakwater.  They don't need the whole area but do need a clear path back and forth.

If the sea conditions are decent (looks good so far) it will be extremely congested this year at the ramp like never before so we will need to be careful to keep traffic moving.

I have heard some locals are afraid we will cover the whole area with yaks and block their only access to launch.  Let's show them it can work well for all of us and I know it can with a little effort.

The launch area needs to be dredged but it's almost impossible to get approval, etc.  Thankfully the access road was resurfaced since last year so no pot holes to deal with.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.  I expect several yakers to get their first salmon this year.  See ya soon,        Boogieman

Maybe pound in some stakes in an area at the launch with signs like "GS6 users: Please reserve this area for Power Boats only". 

Kind of a courtesy to the locals and the power boater needs.  We are portable, so we can easily launch in shallower water. Maybe have some of the local power boaters help locate a reasonable area to stake out?  If stakes don't work, maybe cones?

With the low tides in the early morning I expect many PB launchers will try to launch early however there should be light traffic till at least to 6 possibly 6:30 AM

If water conditions are decent this will be a case where the early birds will benefit greatly and I know many GS'ers will want an early start anyway.

This will be an epic event even greater than last year (and looks like much warmer!)and with 150+ yaks - can't wait to see it.  COME ON UP!

Any staging to the left of the concrete will be in the way, IMO.  Stage up against the breakwater or we'll be in the way of tractors and trucks.

Thanks for the visual Eric...that really helps clear it up for me where to unload and launch.

Chris and I are going to be without wheelez unfortunately (long story, but too late to do anything about it), but will unload as stealthily and quickly as possible and get the truck out of there ASAP or borrow wheelz from someone else on tourney morning.

I'm going out of my mind here wanting to be up there and in the water already!!!!

ps...dive and fish and kayak and cooking gear packed in truck. Beer bought. Chris comes over tomorrow after work to load his stuff and strap the yaks on...will be leaving at 3am I think to try and get in the water on Wednesday before wind and swell pick up...fingers crossed that we get decent conditions for pre-tourney diving...otherwise I may have to dive in the AM on tourney day before pulling out the fishing poles!  :smt005

I'm staying over Sunday to fish some more.  Too far to drive and such a beautiful place in California for just one day.  I'm  really looking forward to seeing and being around like minded people.   I'll take care of mother's day before I leave Friday.  Can't forget Mom.

I'm thinking what your thinking. I'll have to sneak out early before the wife wakes. I'll make sure she has plenty of wine the night before to seal the deal. Ok, Operation Secret Squirrel. Who else is in?

Whenever I go to Shelter Cove I always make sure to gas up in Garberville at the Shell station before heading to the coast. Shelter Cove has a gas station at the General store but I have never used that one and not sure of the hours there.

On the way back I fill up again at the Shell station in Redway.

Then I'm good for gas for the drive back to the bay area.

It might be something to consider if it's your first time there.

Conditions turned out better today than forecast at the cove.  Heard there was a good bite today, not many boats out but sounds like most if not all got their limits of salmon 12 to 20# range.

NOTE: Almost always best gas prices north of Santa Rosa are in Willits at Safeway (on right heading north).  It's not far north past Ukiah.  Heading out of Shelter Cove I always top off there as well as on the way back to the cove.  Sometimes near .50 per gallon cheaper.

I talked to one of the tractor drivers and sounds like they are not expecting to start launching till around 7AM Saturday so I'd shoot to be in the water before 7AM and avoid the circus.

Okay, so what are they using for salmon over there?  Flashers and hoochies or mooching?

Rey
Title: Re: GS6 - 5/12/12 - This Just In! Forecast Improves for Saturday!!!
Post by: matanaska on May 08, 2012, 04:29:16 PM
Mostly deepm sixs or downriggers running a dodger or flasher with anchovie or hoochie.  Also a deep six and a 4.5" black and white or watermelon apex.  All those will work.  Dont hesitate to mooch since you can get a salmon, rockfish, or possibly a halibut.

Post by: boogieman on May 08, 2012, 05:40:11 PM
Today I heard one of the boats that limited only used black and white and green and silver apexes with no flasher, no dodger for limits.  I expect Brads cut plugs (plastic) would also be interchangeable.   If slow trolling (yak style) a cut plug herring (real not plastic) is most dependable and no flasher/dodger needed just keep checking your bait often.

Post by: LoletaEric on May 08, 2012, 05:42:39 PM
Great advice and info, Dan.  Read it, Guys!   :smt001

Continue preparing and meditating on good energy to come.  Be safe, everyone, on the road!  Take your time, get there in one piece.   :smt001

Don't forget to hit up the tournament check-in and safety meeting at the ramp Friday at 5 until at least 6PM.  Get your shirt/tackle/rule sheet/other stuff or you may not get it until Saturday night.  I will do rounds to find those who arrive a little later Friday.  Thx

Don't forget to help spread the word among our fellow participants that we need to stage right up next to the breakwater vs anywhere in the greater ramp area.

Don't forget that launching anywhere but right up against the breakwater is risking a yard sale unnecessarily.

Thx   :smt001

Well my client is a greedy Bitch and cancelled a sale of a house, so She is waiting to sell later for more.
after working on a sale for the last 4-5 months my client ( now previous client) would not give a guy serving in the Navy in the middle of the gulf a couple of days extension and killed the deal. what a bitch.
Poor guy gave notice at his apartment. too bad his Real Estate agent was so incompetent that did not have him sign the extension that I asked her for.
Now he has no house, I lost 5k in commission and NO SHELTER COVE FOR ME.
I will ask Jedmo to please get my shirt and stuff so I can pick it up here in Vallejo.
You guys have fun.
I hope to find a place for Albion.

We got the trailer loaded and van packed. Gotta crash we're hitting the road at 5am. We're probably driving the farthest and need a head start LOL

I think Ed and Allen win on the farthest away they are coming all the way from vernal Utah !

I've been in NYC for a week now with 2 parents fresh out of the hospital.  I was hoping to get back in time to make Shelter Cove (and Michelle's B-Day Friday) but it just ain't in the cards.
I want to thank AbKing for the opportunity to show-off The RTM Abaco 4.20, Tiny for hauling it north and wish all of you a safe weekend and the best of times.

I think I may be a little ahead of myself.  The yak and gear are loaded and ready to go.  There's still almost 16 hours until I pick up Daviator and head for the Cove.  Maybe I can sleep at least a small potion of that time.

         TEAM SIGN UPS CLOSED 
    I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer) :smt002

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion! :smt003 :smt004

Apparently some did get out this morning and nothing was caught but rockfish on the troll before wind and swell picked up. We pulled in at 1230 and there were heavy whitecaps 2 miles out and just messy inside with zero viz mud water out to 1/4 mile. Weather in town was sweet - sunny, warm breeze - me and the kids went boogieboarding in light wetsuits at 5pm and it was great.  Also got 49 people checked in so far!

Quite a few will go out in the morning.  iPhone updates to follow.

there is a hill/dirt road that leads down to the beach from the upper camp areas. It's a haul from the camp to water, but nothing crazy. The parking along the beach is very limited.
have fun bros! and dont kill everything you catch :smt003

Same here!  Hated not being up there but I spent the weekend down in Atherton watching my daughters hoops tournament.  (almost as fun.. :smt005)    I have to wonder if people are all still stuck in traffic..  southbound 101 looked like it was  CRAWLING from just past santa rosa to the GG bridge.    Luckily we were going the other way. 

I spent the whole ride home checking for updates and pics on my droid.. lol

This community is all about helping people in need.

Anthony: A small donation from you, to Sonny, to help replace the $1000.00 of fishing gear he lost, only because he wanted to help you. That will help towards healing the wound.

Anthony,

You may not remember me from Friday night...and I get that. I have been there and done that and have struggled and still struggle with my own demons.

I'm willing to forgive you for what you did up at Shelter, but others on here may not be so quick to forgive until you show that you are trying to make things better.

Admitting you done wrong and apologizing is the right start.

Next step in my opinion is reaching out to Sonny who risked his life to save you and seeing what you can do to help him with replacing some of the gear and $$ he lost out there trying to save you.

I hope your future actions will show all on here that you are trying to do the right thing and make amends.

I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,

Jim

Anthony, thanks for reaching out to the group it means quite a bit to us all. As others have mentioned Sonny deserves a call or PM. He will say its not a big deal he may be the most humble person on the site....I'd say buy him a beer....but perhaps a nice bro hug is better all things considered.  :smt044

While I do acknowledge his apology, it would not be so easy for me to forgive and I most certainly will not forgot if had been in Sonny's position.

One can not merely buy forgiveness with monetary restitution; he needs to make it right with ALL who he offended, whatever the penance may be...

I, for one, do not want him around my personal space until I know for certain that apology is genuine and he is good on his word......

I have been reluctant to post based upon my close friendship with Sonny.  However, and I make no accusations here. Alcoholism is a devastating disease, especially when left untreated.  I'm not in a position to diagnose, but I have seen the symptoms.  If this is a one-time situation, it has a chance of being corrected.  If not,..............   I share Glen's concerns for personal safety but I guess time will tell very quickly.

I know something about drinking too much, I have been there myself. Day 6. Drunken behavior is something that should not be tolerated, beyond being a little goofy. When someone is going to get hurt, it becomes a problem.

Anthony,

I am glad your OK man! I was yelling to you right before you got taken at that wash rock. Myself and backeastfreak barely noticed you and tried to yell for you to get out of that area just seconds prior. I went to grab my radio to try'n contact you, at that point it was too late, all I seen was whitewater and the bottoms of your feet. I then radio'd in the distress call and began alerting fellow paddlers around me. I was just glad that I noticed you when I did, 5 seconds later I never would of seen you. I don't think anybody else saw you go over and we might have never known, especially if you got really worked.
Anthony, please be more careful next time, know you're location at all times and always, always, always have a radio on you if you leave your team, especially in the fog.

Sonny, I am sorry you lost your gear. I have a bag of jig heads and swim baits for you, please pm me your address. Mike

He may not have felt comfortable or safe doing so. Not everyone reacts the same (and shouldn't be chastised for their personal reaction). There is a fine line between being heroic and foolishly stupid (And no, I don't think Sonny was being foolish). Each of us needs to be responsible for our own safety first. Help and assistance is nice to have but it shouldn't be counted on or assumed (IMHO).

cawingshooter,
You played a great role in the rescue by alerting everyone and quite possibly saved Anthony's life.
As for the above question, I wouldn't feel any pressure to answer it posed as such.
Were are all ultimately responsible for our own safety. For some rushing into wash rocks is another day at the office, for others it would be another body in the impact zone. Knowing your abilities is key. Being able to see a situation and being close enough to do something about are totally different things.
