We are making a change to the Captain's meeting. Will be held at North Fogarty Creek park. Friday at 7 pm. East parking lot, south east corner.

Chinook Bend double booked the area of the stage. Getting our deposit back.

Pretty sure I can make it. Any idea how many people are showing up? How does every feel about the forecast?

I will be there. Forecast looks like it is trending g better for Saturday.

Sounds good I'll probably show up Friday night. Only debating because I work Saturdays, so I'll have to use up a vacation day.  Swell looks about 4 ft. Not sure what the max is for depoe

Yeah, 4 feet isn't usually too bad. I would like to see them a little further apart but should be doable.
I was hoping to pre fish on Friday. Not sure that will be happening. Game time decision.

Pretty sure I can make it. Any idea how many people are showing up? How does every feel about the forecast?

Currently there are six people signed up. Honestly, I feel pretty good about the forecast, not much in the way of wind at all on Saturday. It'll be a little bumpy with the swell at 8 seconds but there isn't much of a south swell to really mix things up. I think when it comes time to come back in at the end of the day we'll be glad we launched out of Depoe!

I want to come, but am eyeballing the conditions.  Went out earlier in the year and surf was bigger than expected.  My head was still rolling when I went to bed.  Weather also got a bit choppy on the way in which wore me out.  Never felt unsafe, but man that was work and I got pretty wet/beat up coming in.  Did catch a good bunch of fish.

Not super experienced judging conditions so kind of hoping some of the old hands will weigh in with their thoughts.  swell not bad height wise with a period that's pretty tight to the 2x rule. Wind looks great though

I will be there but not signed up because of the donation. Planning on doing it at the captains meeting. Not sure which to donate to.

If the ocean is too bumpy. I am planning on clamming and salmon fishing. The nestucca or the siletz( at camp) have salmon. Clamming at Newport will be an option too.

Could update the tournament to a salmon tourney if the ocean is bad. Either way should be a good time.

Forecast looks better for Saturday evening and Sunday morning. I plan on targeting coho if it’s doable.

Planning on Thursday thru Sunday at chinook bend.

Making donation at the Captaim's meeting just fine! Thank you!

The forecast for Saturday looks decent. Not great, but decent. Would be nice if the duration inceased a little. Not much for secondary waves so that is good.

Now we will see if mother nature pays attention to the forecast.

I will be in Depoe Bay from Thursday evening to Sunday. Staying at the Worldmark.

Alright I'm signed up. Short wave period be dammed, everything else looks good. 

What time are we all meeting at the ramp?

Anybody considering Sunday with conditions  a little more favorable?

I am coming down Friday afternoon and plan to fish thru Sunday.

Here are the rules for 2023 minus the Map.

The map is expanded a little to the North and West and still single launch point, Depoe Bay, OR

What time will you be at the marina for launch on Sunday?
