Way cool and creative direction with the artwork Eric! I was thinking the skeleton was a call-out to the iconic Dead man's beach. An interesting perspective from the artist on the artwork thing-makes sense, maybe one or two signed for the raffle. I'll see you there

Any chance you can post picture of hat logo?
Thanks

Hat is the same as last year.   🙂

I have a few of the dark blue with black yakker and a few more of the black hat with sapphire yakker. 

Doing hats with the new logo would be great, but it’s hard to produce quality and keep the price reasonable without buying numbers up front. 

The art is pretty busy for a hat too.

True. I guess a lot of detail would be lost in reducing it to a hat size version. Almost need to do another rendering, which would cost again.

Two different years, a Pacific halibut has made the difference and elevated the GS AOTD above all other anglers that day.  Jacks / Terry Saufferer and MattSwayze / Matthew Mayes both achieved that difficult goal on tourney day - they were gracious and triumphant champions, and everyone was stoked for them.

On several different years we've caught and/or hooked Pacifics over the GS weekend - there have been some brutes, topped by BigFoot / Randall Nellums' 51.5" beauty a day or two after the tourney on a flat ocean.  I'll dig up some pics in the coming weeks.  If you were there, you know how intense it was to realize that we all have a chance at these amazing fish at the Cove.

I was lucky enough to get one back in 2011 - not at the GS weekend, but out of the Cove.

It's part of what we're doing:  trying to achieve something amazing that the entire community can be stoked for and that each of us can strive for.

 

Can I put dibs on 2 hats
, 1 of each style

First come first served - beat the rush!   

Regs in the mail, looking forward to May.

 

I was just told by the campground personnel that the camping fees will be $60 per person per night.... Which is insane!  Has anyone else heard this?
