Really want to thank those who have responded here and/or reached out by message and email, expressing their joy for the event and intent to attend.  I am finding that not having GS in my life for 4 years has been rough, so thanks for helping me bring this back around.  I am super stoked and determined to make this the best ever.   :groupwave

Thank you for the quick reply Eric.

You're very welcome, brother.  It feels good to be back behind this wheel.   :smt001

Registration will be done next week  :smt001

Glad to hear it, Sonny!  We'll see how many of the original 6 we can get.  PK is making noises like he's coming...  Etienne...  hopefully!   :smt003  Hawk and Chris...  I wouldn't take those odds, but would be great to see them.  We're talking 17 years after the innaugural run...  OMG.   :smt005

Thank you Eric for putting on this tournament.  Are you including Cabs and greenlings in the rockfish category?

Thank you, Terry! 

Great question.  Yes - cabezon and greenling can be turned in for inches, but any fish in the RCG complex will count as "rockfish", so only one RCG can be turned in.  This may seem contradictory to my halibut strategy, where one Californian and one Pacific could be turned in, but that's how it's going to go.  I'd like us to have a smaller impact on RCG species than the bigger game fish in lingcod and halibut.

Just spoke to Brandi - she is down for bringing her veteran Gyotaku skills and organizational prowess to the event again!  The Gyotaku will be on Sunday this year, time to be announced, but it should be early enough that people departing on Sunday can participate.  So stoked about this!!   :smt007

Here's a press release from CDFW showing that the rockfish season is just one formality away from approval:

I have the registration materials and a fresh message up on the 1st post.

Get it.   :smt004

The alternatives for this year's rockfish season, both showing that May will be open in the Mendocino Management Area in waters 20 fathoms and less, have been forwarded to the Office of Administrative Law for final approval.  It is my understanding that there is very little chance, if any, that the OAL will alter or deny the approved season structures.

I'm working on preparing my registration forms and will attach them and make a more detailed announcement soon.   :smt001

Looks like I better whip up a fresh batch of Fisheducator's crema sauce... just sayin'

Now I'm the stoked one!   :smt007

Funny story:  years back, I asked Tim what's in his famous crema sauce.  He was immediately taken aback and quite indignant, replying with "There are like 23 ingredients!"  Put me in my place for sure, my brother!!      :smt005 :smt008

If all goes well, we will all enjoy some of Jack's tacos with your famous and rightfully proud crema sauce within a couple months.   :smt001

Thank you, Paul.  I'm looking forward to that 3/26 final decision.

Any update on the final date yet?  Last I heard, May 11th but maybe May 4th.

Waiting for final word on rockfish season - should know early next week.
