I had a good run attending GS-6 through GSX, but looks like I'll be missing out on GS-11.  I have a mandatory work training the week of May 22 in Springfield OR.  Dang!  Hope you guys have calm seas and sunny skies this year!

It's 272nm from Newport to Shelter Cove.  You have enough time to get an airplane and a license to fly it.  I'm sure we can come up with a loaner kayak for you.  No excuses.

Damn, Chris!  We'll miss you for sure.

Maybe you'll reconsider doing a marathon run just for tourney day...  :smt001

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

We are going to all miss you this year.  With the addition of the Starry Flounder and your flat fish fishing skills  this could of been your year.

So, my strategy of not really promoting GS11 is working...  Maybe it's working too well.  I intend to keep the event from getting out of control, but I didn't mean to scare anyone off.

However it turns out is fine.  Just wanted to reassure that I am setting things up as usual - just not promoting much.  I will turn up the volume soon though.

Thx,

Eric

I really don't think you need to promote it at all. All it takes is for a person to experience a GS event and they're hooked for life. I haven't missed one since GS 7 and it's always on my vacation list request from work.

Thanks, Herb.  I do realize that with quite a few more annual events on the calendar these days people aren't as apt to sign up early for any given tourney.

6.5 weeks until end of signups...

Ah yes, the quiz...  Don't worry too much about it.  Quite a few people are getting a detail or two wrong, but my main intent is just to get people thinking.
