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

Wow, this is looking really good. thanks eric for updated intel..Im super excited for this..Ill be ready for some pink! I'll be downrigging or LongLiner-Ing..no deep six's for me!

i got the apex, mooching rig, double hook kripple anchovie im ready need a deepsix an dodger and ill be set

an i need a couple alabama rigs for the 5swimbait halibut buffet ima feed em

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.   

Eric, can you post up the pics again of the necessary salmon slayer gear you use?  I know you posted it somewhere, but I'm not finding it.  Going out tomorrow for an oil change, tire rotation, LP fill up, bait and gear run in prep for the state line on Thursday.  I'd like to whip up a quick list of what I'm shopping for.   

Here you go, Bro!   

I know, that second one's not the gear!   

Eric I'll take up on ur offer.... Local connection ....

                              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

Can you stand it?  Can ya?

Here are some pics of Abking from the salmon opener.

Man yesterday I was dreaming about calm seas and flat water for the opener , now it is looking like full on swells coming in for Saturday.   


Let's hope it turns once again so we can have some great conditions.

I will be checking that link every 8 hours for the next 7 days .
