I was being tongue in cheek Paul, perhaps as you are in your response? FWIW, I have a feeling there are far more mind altering substances in OC.

Re: Pacific Coast Championships ?

Things are starting to come together for the event and I think this is going to be a fun one. It looks like we might have a few more people than we originally thought. We just might break the 20 count.

I just finished the "Biggest Fish" award. A custom cutting board for the man or woman who brings home the big one.

See you Friday night

Re: Pacific Coast Championships ?

Dennis; we usually try to grab the center section, on the southern side. If that makes any sense?..... I'd say by the big pine tree- but there are 50 of them, so fat chance of that making any sense!!

Re: Pacific Coast Championships ?

Diving Before the PCC Event:

For divers that are looking to get wet on Friday and catch a little fish dinner, you may dive at Pico Creek.

Park at the GPS below and attached is a picture.

N 35°36'51.41
W 121° 8'50.57

Pico Creek was last years venue and it will not be included in this years drawing. Please respect the integrity of the event and don't push the limits of this area. Please stay in front of Pico or to the North.

Thank you,

Re: Pacific Coast Championships ?

I am happy to say that I have been getting a couple of emails regarding the registration for the event. Means more people are interested. Okay the rules I copied are a little misleading. One part says to pay by day of the event and the other states registration is due by 9 PM Friday. Please have all payments and paperwork to me before 8AM Saturday morning. I will be bringing printed registration paperwork. All you have to do to fill it out.

Remember potluck is Saturday night. For those of you with access to firewood please bring some. As for the location of the potluck it will be decided by the divers that show up. I am depending on those that have done this before to make this happen. Hopefully we will get the area that Dennis H has suggested.
