FreshKATS New Melones

I can help out also ...I'll be there Friday night after work and stayin till Sunday I'll be in site #90

Jim,

Please know that all you guys are in our thoughts and prayers, that things will work out for all.

Frank & I are in site 31, be there on June 6th - 9th. 

Has the waiver been posted and I just overlooked?  Like to complete before tourney day.

Look forward to seeing everyone.

After a report a couple of weeks ago from Bunny and Frank, we did a drive up to New Melones today to check it out ourselves....just a heads-up, the water is very low right now.

We drove around the Ironhorse  sites where most are camping and they look good - there might be a perfect spot to gather/potluck at the top of the hill (in the center of the sites 27, 29, 31, 33, etc). I would suggest that people bring tables and pop-up canopy's if they can.

There is no place to launch except for the cement boat ramp that goes down about a quarter of a mile before you reach the water, so this might be a challenge for some folks. This ramp is a couple of miles further down the road from where the sites are located.

Will it be the same scoring system as Berryessa?

the lake is dropping really fast although it has slowed down a bit in the last week maybe for the holiday idk. If your referring to the launch at angles creek there is a good possibility it will be closed by tourney time. The only launch maybe at the end by the marina.

Yeah, the one we went to was at Glory Hole Pnt, just past the marina.

This is looking like a super event, my family would have a blast. I could get on some fish with support and guidance from the friendly men and women of NCKA. Unfortunately family responsibilities preclude my attending. Looking forward to the reports; plan on ramping-up my efforts to get to one of these events.

Fishing at Glory Hole ramp, start AT 6AM, check in at 1pm

Its doubtful that I will be onsite for this, the forecast is for over 100 degrees, which is above my safe limit (multiple sclerosis has a few limitations...)

There are other NCKA'ers that will be handling this event.
MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO IS SO PATIENT AND HELPFUL

Registration and waiver attached

Thanks for the rollcall Victor.  If you wouldn't mind posting the following update to your initial roll call post, and adding an "update page 1" to the subject line:

Due to the high temperatures predicted for tournament date, we are making some adjustments. It will be way too hot to comfortably cook and eat outside (very little shade at Glory Hole), so we will be having awards and food at Mike's Pizza in Angels Camp (5-10 min from Glory Hole Launch).

Hi Jim,

Thanks for posting waiver & registration.  I will be sending $20 thru Paypal for Frank "Ghost" and myself.

Take care of yourself.

Everyone, don't forget your sunscreen, a hat and have plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Last Minute Registrations?
When is the cut-off/deadline for entering this tourney? SonoraMike drew my attention to this and i may be able to get out of my plans to attend this. I am not yet registered with FreshKATS but have printed out/filled out the forms and waiver. Should i plan on paying at the launch ramp?

You can register at the launch ramp. 

Good luck to you guys!  Really cool to see people pulling together to make this event happen!  Still wish that I was going to make it!  Last time Sara and I ended up swimming most of the time   

I'm in then... Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with set up or tear down I can get there early sat morn or Friday evening if I can find a place to crash. Gotta be home Sunday for wedding stuff.
