GSXVIII - Registration is now Closed - See you at the Cove!

I see tacos in your future...   

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

         The crema of all cremas. Hell yeah.

In case anybody needs it:

Please elaborate.

I found it on the Fish And Game website
 Kinda like scratch notes of what they wanna do
each one of them has an Aand B plan
This was from the meeting on 26 March

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.   

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

Get it.   

RIGHT ON!  (I get to say that now.) 

I almost missed what date you settled on, then read the thread title.  Ha!

Fucken A!!! 

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

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

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!!

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.
