POAA-

I sent you a PM yesterday.  Myself and Bojangles42 are partnered up.  Team SmokeEaters

Awesome! Thank Saw. I'll take care of that.

TRW4 Update: Here is the official roster of everyone that is competing in TRW4! This is our biggest turnout by far and it looks like the conditions are going to be amazing!

There will be a pre-tourament meeting tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00pm at Pacific Outfitters of Eureka. Everyone will check in, pick up goodie bags and t-shirts and go over all the rules and regulations of the tournament. After that we will be heading to Emerald Forest, tapping a keg and hanging out.

Thank you all so much for participating, this tournament wouldn't be what it is without you all. Bent rods for everyone!

Day of the tournament details:

The tournament will begin at 5:45am on Saturday morning. There are very strict and regulated parking rules. I recommend commuting if at all possible. You can only Park on the West side in front of the beach on in the gravel parking lot. First come first serve. You can not park anywhere there is pavement. If the allocated parking fills up you will be stuck with a long walk up a hill.

Once you and your teammate are ready to launch, you must check in with one of the three people wearing bright green vests. They will inspect your kayak sign your hand, if you need it signed and send you off. Don't expect us to spend time and answer rules and regulations questions during that time because they will be slammed.

I got
26-4 once jigs / 1.50 each
21-3 once jigs/ 1.50 each
45- 4 once pyramid weights/ 1.00 each
12- 5.5 once in-line sinker weights/ 1.50 each

I'll be at camp ground #67 and at the reception area around 6 if interested [emoji2]

You should be able to unload on the beach launch then park at the gravel area by the beach at the bottom of the hill next to Trinidad head before you drive into the parking lot for the restaurant.

Team Bald Eagles will not be leaving the Sacramento area until 2 pm and will not be able to attend the meeting.

Just learned my house guests will be camping so if anyone is in need of a place to stay without dogs, I have space for 1 or 2.  I am about 20 minutes from the launch site.
Let me know!  Contact me directly - I won't be checking NCKA site or PMs as I have a FULL day! 7078224815 or see me at the meeting later today.

TRW4 results coming soon.

Where is the TRW4 report ?, nobody has started one yet ?

Congrats to the Mayes brothers, Rob and Adam and the other winners. Strong work guys, it was nice seeing everyone. This was a really good tournament, things ran well and the wind and swell were extremely mild. Saw some really nice Blacks, a couple of big  Verms, and  some of those who put in the work scored big lings. Thanks to Pacific Outfitters, Emerald Forest Campground, Mad River, and all the sponsors.
Sincerely, Amos

What a great time at TRW IV. I didn't know if I was going to be able to attend until a few days before the tournament and my usual partner couldn't make the trip out. Boyce Meredith mentioned on LCKA that he was looking to partner up and fish hard so ended up pm'ing him and worked out a plan. Come game time we were on the water at 5:45 headed north in the thick fog. For us the fishing was a steady bite nothing red hot but it never turned off. Our 3rd species hooked up while I was eating my sandwich of course and was a beautiful sunflower looking greenling. Congrats to the other winners Rob, Adam, Chris, Matt and thank you Pacific outfitters for putting on another great event!

Good fishing Cameron and Boyce!
