Official 2006 Elk info thread- More prizes added!!

That looks so cool!!!! Is there any particular kind of paint we could bring for T-shirts to help out???

Bill,

I say we figure out counties and do both... dividing the counties into North and South (note slight color difference in my map).

For example, I'm in Sonoma County which is also "North of the Gate" so my biggest fish goes towards the average of both.
Another example, when Mooch comes back empty handed he'll add a big goose egg to the average of San Mateo county as well as "South of the Gate".

I don't know if anyone is coming up from SoCal, but we could make that a third regional group if there are enough of them.

As for counties with low representation, we could consider grouping a few of the counties together if they only have one or two representives each as long as the counties are from the same general area.  For example, I think there are a few people on this board from various counties in the foothills of the sierras and maybe they could team up together.

We can figure it better once we know which counties everyone is from.

Thanks for the offer Tote,

Just bring a few cotton t-shirts that you'll want printed, I'll take care of picking up the paints and Sean has informed me that this will be an official activity and that I'll be reimbursed for supplies.

Oh, with the t-shirts.. light colored shirts are great with dark paints, but also consider dark shirts with light colored paint.   And if you're bringing new shirts be sure to wash them first... having a new t-shirt shrink will crack the paints.

I don't remember the name of the paints, but basically they're heat activated.  You make the print, let the paint dry and then use an iron to set it.  I'll have to double check on whether those paints are non-toxic or not so maybe we'll end up only printing a few small fish like that.

How of the central valley crew made it in the tourny?

-Brian G

Yolo county representin'!  We got 2 (Sean and Ashley).

Or I can be in on the CVC (central valley crew, for those of you not in the know).

-Sean

I don't know, maybe we need a roll call.  (names, nickname, county)...

I'll start for the Bodega Crew...

Brian (bsteves)                Sonoma
Jim (InSeine)                  Sonoma
Naoaki (Naoaki_uminchu)  Sonoma
Levi (Steele_leader)         Sonoma or San Diego (he's in grad school down there now)


As for the central valley crew.. with my current division of counties Yolo and Sacramento would be "north of the gate" counties.  So I don't know whether you'd have a central valley north and a central valley south, or maybe we make the central valley it's own, but I'm not sure where to draw the line.  The nice thing about North vs South is that it's farily simple.

i would really like to have a lingcod print shirt. with some teeth!

Careful I might claim Levi as south of the gate!!!

BSTEVES~ Would a heat gun set it as well??

Chris,

I'm not sure lingcod teeth will show up, but I suppose you could always paint them in.    The problem with big fish like lingcod is that they don't fit on the shirt, but I suppose you could do a print of just the head.   Maybe from above rather than the traditional side view.




Bill,

I'm going to set up a google spreadsheet with the names, counties and NOTG or SOTG, I'll send you the link when I'm done and post a list here as well.


Tote,

I'm note sure about a heat gun, it might be too hot.  Generally, you let the paint dry and cover it with a towel and run an iron over it.  I'm going bring an iron anyway to make sure we don't have wrinkles in the shirts before they're printed.

In SoCal we did team tournaments several times.  3 or 4 man teams and combined the catches and did a MBF style tourney with money going to the teams.

I am a member of the Floating Banana Brotherhood.
