I camped there last weekend. The ranger woman was all in everyone's business. Also, the crabbing completely sucked. I hope it's a different story on both fronts this weekend!

I will be heading out in the morning, here are a few reminders about the weekend. If you have any questions I will keep an eye on this thread.

1) If you are just coming out for the day make sure you pay the day use fee. If you are there before the ranger please use the iron ranger to deposit your fee. 

2) I will be moving my truck to the front of the line Sunday morning and will be securing 4 of the parking spaces that back into the beach. Please keep this in mind if I ask you to not park in a spot that morning.

3) Remember 4 pots/rings per per person, no overnight soaks, and you must register in the morning prior to going out to drop your gear.

4) Please Print a waiver out ahead of time. I will have extra if you forget.

5) This is a potluck, please bring something to share with your NCKA family and don't forget the host  :smt006
    Bring reusable plates, the less amount of garbage the less we have to clean after the event, plus it's good for the environment.

6) The day of the event if you are not camping and just there for the day please do not hang out in the campground.

7) If I forget your name the day of the event, please remind me. With so much going on that day I tend to draw a blank on names.  :smt001

8) Have fun!

FYI

Crab must be measured on the water. Do not bring a undersized crab to the weigh in table. Fish and Game may be there so make sure you know the rules.

Just a  note I talked with a state park ranger (Doran is County) yesterday while he was watching surfers... in his words " DFW is looking to write people up"

A ranger came and checked crab last year. In the end he said we were a great group and that everyone was playing by the rules.

I know the intent of the Styrofoam ban is to keep people from littering disposable coolers, but I'm pretty sure that all my crab buoys are made of styrofoam.  Not gonna sweat it unless directed otherwise.

Didn't think about my bouys.  Did consider removing the syrofoam package my gigantic crab from Safeway however.

Almost packed the awards in Styrofoam to keep them safe in transport to the event.  Glad I opted for the bubble wrap instead.
