Is it possible to jig up live bait near Westport? If not, where is the bait dock located?

Bob,

If you can find the bait you can always try and jig it up but locating it can always be the problem.

As far as the location of the bait dock it is located just NE of docks 8 & 10. It is the non boat-slip looking dock on the map you can download here:

I will try and post an image with the dock actually highlighted later.

Thanks for the great question.

WD.

Thanks for the bait dock info Ken. Good talking to you this morning.
Next Question, Do I make the check payable to ""The Washington Tuna Classic"?

Hi Doug,

Good questions.

You can download the registration form and liability release waivers on our website, www.washingtontunaclassic.com .

If for some reason that does not work, PM me your e-mail address and I will e-mail the files to print out yourself, or I can fax blank ones to you if that is easier, just be sure to send me a fax #.

As far as taking credit cards, currently we are not set up to do that, but if Pay Pal ever gets done playing with our paperwork, we will then be set up do handle everything on line.

Thanks again for your questions.

WD.

The website hasn't been working today. FYI.

Thanks Todd,

Last night the machine running the website had a drive controller error that messed up all four drives. I had everything backed up online and recovered everything WTC related but the webserver itself isn't running at the moment due to the drive it was on being dead. I'm running a bit level recovery program which hopefully will recover the webserver as well as a bunch of other applications I had installed on it. Unfortunately, it takes a while to recover 800 gigs of data. The other three drives were recovered today. In short, I'm working on it...:-/

after looking at the rules and regs. I was wondering if Dorado could be included in the Pelagic pot, there always the chance that someone could find one.

Also we are "all in" and I was wondering how that pot would be paid out if different species were caught and would it be split?

If two of the same species were caught how would it be paid?

I was just checking if someone had thought about that.

This thread is an awesome idea you. guys did great jobs. Thanks my brothers.

Mike,
Dorado would be considered a Pelagic. Heck, even an Opah!

We are following the OTC rules on this one and the winner is the heaviest Pelagic fish turned in. Just don't turn in a Blue shark.

Is that clear?
