Orange County Chapter Gathering

UPDATED by Wiseguy: (copied over from page 13 of this thread)

Here are the details:

October 18th @ NPH Coast Guard Station
1911 Bayside Dr., Newport Beach CA

Launch Time: 6am sharp
Weigh in (digital photos) 12:00 noon
Custom Rod Competition Entrance Fee: $10

Simple Rules:

For the Custom Rod competition it is pretty simple, Heaviest fish with a clear photo showing the weight of the fish and a special sticker that you put on the scale will need to show up on the photo to win the rod. Make sure you get a clear picture. I will pass out the sticker that needs to show up in the photos the day of. No minimum size of fish required, so snap a pic of your catch!

All three species of BASS count (Spotties, Sandies, Calicos) and HALIBUT also. So bring your "A" game!

I plan on getting there at 5:30am as I know other will too. There are several parking spaces at the coast guard station, first come first serve. There is also plenty of parking on the street.  Look for me and pay your $10 entrace fee and be ready to launch by 6am!

Dont forget your camera and scale! That would be like fishing with no bait. If you don't have a scale, fish with someone that does.

NO live bait, plastics ONLY. Bring it!

I'll post up photos of the Custom Phenix Bass Rod someone is gonna score by tomorrow.

For the original posters and organizers, feel free to use these same simple rules if you wish.


Pavo21's original post below:

So everyone i need to know if maybe oct 4/5th or 11/12th would be a good time for us all to meet up, and i was thinking Either NPH or maybe a local lake. NPH imo would be awesome since we could all cruise the area and take over! or we could find a lake and decide what a good place would be. so shoot me some ideas on lakes or some harbors. but i think the date would be good. it gives people time to get off work

Need more info bro
1. You talking am or pm?
2. Location/meeting place ? NPH is a large area and there are 1000 of places to launch.

Am and I know there is a lot of launching spots I'm just trying to see if people would prefer fresh or salt. And I want to see if people have a lake preference. I could just make a list of places and hold a vote.

Ok so time to just be stubbern and strick lol i guess.

NPH Will be the spot to meet up I will post a image of the drop location. Launch will be 6am. Date will be 10/4/14 which is a Saturday

We can decide later if we want to fish till a certain hour then grill or go get lunch after somewhere to hang out after that. Or we can bring our own food and chill after that. i say we fish then grab a bite somewhere.

201 park ave Newport beach ca 92662 is location

Hey Pavo,

Might be down with that date

as far as the launch, its great for 2-3 peeps but for lets say 5-6, it sucks, parking there sucks....i think it will be hard for peeps to find a spot on a saturday morning in my opinion,

i suggest if were going to get together we do the coast guard station, its one parking lot and has plenty of room, interact with each other get ideas while setting up also gets us away from trying to set up on the street

my 2 cents....

ok tony sure not a problem drop the address in and we can go from there. jsut so people know where to go if they dont know excatlly.

I think tonys talkin about here its the location at the beach area, we can go here for sure.

address: 1911 Bayside Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92625

for sure, just trying to find a spot where in wont be a pain in the ass to park and free and the coast guard station has both, see address below

US Coast Guard
Address: 1911 Bayside Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92625

Or if anyone has another opinion for another spot or dates then throw it out, im game on new spots as well!!!

I agree with you man, i tried that but as it was suggested thats not a good idea. apparently we need to be STERN! lol

still looking for more people to join in on our gathering at NPH. post up people

Good luck guys

I'd be in but the off road expo is that weekend and my dad's bday. Good luck and try for next gathering.
