GS6 - 5/12/12 - Another Year in the Books - Thank you to all who participated

I was feeling kind of bad about not making the time to brew a batch of beer for GS-6 but it looks like there's not gonna be a shortage!

This is going to be awsome,
Close to 150 anglers ... going to need the wide angle lense for the group shots

Tad ... can you please add the last member to the Team Long Shot Roster... Mr. Kevin Johnson (Guest)

See Ya There,
Eric / Yakhopper

Just took the time off work for GS6. I'll be heading up Thursday morning and leaving Sunday afternoon. Can't wait.

Hopefully with SS2 this week-end and my secret plans for Cinco De Mayo in two weeks, the time will just fly by!

Hope so!  People better consider looking into those vacation rentals.  I have no idea if there are any hotel rooms left.

Thanks, Scott!     This is crazy!

Yep, a group of us got one of the vacation homes.  I know of at least 2 other groups that did the same. However, we are still invading the campground for the festivities in the evenings before retiring to our posh sleeping quarters! 

How many sites are they blocking off for us is it usually busy there? I will be calling tomorrow to make sure I get a site!

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...).   

                              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

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.

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)

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!

Thanks,
Tad- GS Team Tourney Coordinator

With 153 anglers at the launch on turney day, they are going to need to install a stop light at the bottom of the hill

Seriously though, 
Might be a good idea to have a few people helping to direct traffic so as not to disrupt the tractor buisness or any locals

It'll be fine.   

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.

Hey Darius,

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