Ok. Here we go. The forms are up. I will fill in some details soon. The format will be the four original specie. Lingcod, Cabezon, Greenling and Rockfish. You may have three fish in your bag. No duplicates. The heaviest bag wins the tournament. There will be plaques for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Made by Sean Walker/ Piscean. These will be colorful and highly sought after items. There will be a special prize for the heaviest salmon and the longest abalone. We are not sure about next year at all right now. The State is planning to replace the bridge possibly so this may be the last Albion. There will be a raffle. We went this year with a modification of the original artwork from 2010. The proceeds after cost from the raffle and the clothing sales will go to a program called , Circle of Friends. This is a nationwide program in high schools that help students with learning disabilities. Help is provided by other students. The decision to have this group as our charity this year came from Paul Lebowitz who lost his son James earlier this year. James was involved in the program at his high school. In this way we will honor James and Paul who has done so much for the kayak fishing industry and he is one of us. All registrations must be in hand by July 3rd at the latest. There will be no registration at the event this year to simplify things. Please join us this year. Thanks, Craig and Linelle.

Please send along with your payment your name, address, NCKA handle and phone number. Please. If I  am not able to figure out your clothing order I need to be able to get in touch. You need to fill out the registration form AND the waiver. Mail payments to
Craig Davis

The clothing will be black in color and printed by a local shop who also did the printing in 2010. Which is still holding up very well. I apologize for the issues you had in 2012 and 2014.

The tournament will be on Saturday August 8th. Paddling out anytime you want to in the AM. returning to the weigh station at the fish cleaning table no later than 1 PM. No latecomers will be allowed.

The potluck ( it wont be like last year, that is why there are no big dollar prizes for the tourney) Will be at 5 Pm on Saturday and the awards ceremony and raffle will be shortly there after.

My hope this year is that the tournament returns to what we knew in the past as a family and fun time get together. I am hoping for decreased attendance by those just seeking out prizes and money. Sorry if that offends anyone. Too many people showed up with out bringing items to the potluck and partaking. Thank you for your consideration on this. Last year was the first time ever that I saw that happen at an NCKA potluck and I think its my fault for giving away a grand for first place.

In the next paragraph he explains that he believes that the sizable cash prize attracted folks who were there only to take and not to contribute.

He is referring to two different issues.

I hate to say, that is something that irks me. I feel that if you partake in the pot luck, you should contribute something. Even if it's minimal. Been to gathering's where people show up empty handed and even have several people in tow.

Am I just getting old and grouchy ?  :smt001

What I believe happened is this and its not two separate issues. It was well known that cash prizes were being given to the top 3. Soma. 1,000.00, 500.00 and 250.00. We had 40 sign up for registration on the day before the event. Mostly by people I had never seen before.  Mostly single guys looking for the cash. I saw people load up on food that brought nothing to the potluck. In fact the winner sat by my trailer drinking bottled beer and in the morning they had left a pile of beer bottles for ME to pick up. So I don't really give a crap if those kind of folks stay home. If you would like more than that send me a PM. Thanks Soma hope to see you there. :smt006 :smt003

+ 2 my whole family loves this function!  IMHO, if you need more explaining than what has already been said, from Craig - don't  come! Albion  is his event to run!!! All the folks  that take on the challenge  to give US an event, have too many people  constantly  questioning  them on why this and why that; $hit just don't  go if you don't  like it. Also, don't  complain about it  either, most of us don't  want to  hear it! Thank you  Craig & Linelle and all the others who host events.
