Registration

Member Registration
Active club members, including kayaking professional and lifetime. Provisional acceptance, pending approval by the trip organizer if this is a paddle"

This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED). To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt. Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment. If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Activity Title: Lincoln City Event: Nestucca Kayak Crabbing, L1, 6-26-22
Date of Activity: 6/26/2022
Narrative: This trip on Nestucca Bay will focus on showcasing the equipment and technique for crabbing from a kayak. Jack Sanders has crabbed here many times and will provide our instruction. There will be additional information put together by Jack and sent out to the Lincoln City Event participants ahead in case they want to get equipment and a license to crab on this paddle - and hopefully take home a few crabs with them. Those wanting to just observe are welcome as well. We'll meet at the Little Nestucca River Boat Ramp at 8:00 and launch at 8:30. We'll head out to the bay, and set the traps, returning somewhat later to check them. We may also explore some in the bay and/or in the Little Nestucca River. The trip length will be perhaps 5 miles and we'll return about noon.
