[salmonquest]

got out just as the tide started to run. Saw lots of fish caught. Dropped a brads down, and bam. 21lbs. That was so cool. They are here now. go get em. :cheers:

[fish_on]

Started at daylight, at 7:15 wifes rod goes off after a short battle she tighted the drag, fish to the boat, net almost in the water.... drag to tight fish OFF. Only fish we touched all day, bite did not happen untill about an hour before low tide. At low tide it was pretty good with many boats taking limits. Fish checker said you either had near a limit or nothing.

I was there ! We went 4 for 4. 22,19,& 18 with 1 tule! I thought the fishing was fantastic . We were anchored down by the Sammi Crystal in 46 feet my silver Alvin caught all the fish.

You guys have it all wrong. Bad day at Frenchmans. graemlins/eek13.gif No fish. May as well stay and watch football sunday afternoon. :grin: :grin:

[coyote one]

The bite never came to me! What are you fish catching guys using at frenchmen's to catch all your fish? Kalama they use clancys and alvins are are have a huge success ratio!

[Fshklr]

Lemon Joy is all I can say. :shocked: :cheers:

[crabbait]

There are no fish in the river! No one is catching huge salmon from above Portland to way below Longview!

Wobblers don't work and neither do spinners. The only effective scent is to sleep with your wobblers tucked in your armpits!

All those people waving nets are just trying to herd the wayward whales back into the ocean!

(How am I doin Mission? Think they are buying it?)

nice try, crabbait, but i don't think the real idiots are listening. could you send that out as a broadcast over all the cell phones in the portland metro area? that might help a bit. :grin:

[Lipripper]

Had a pretty good day. We went 3 for 4. Two nice nooks (#22 & 28). We also caught a tule that fought so long that when we put him in the net he died before we could turn him back. We were anchored directly below ******. We got the fish before he did. Sorry ****** http://www.ifish.net/uploads/404608250.jpg

I went from red hot to ice cold in 24 hours graemlins/berry.gif I was down by Sammi Crystal on the outside watching the guys in the inside hammering them. We pulled anchor and went upriver above WaterDog, SureSet, and ****** but couldn't get the two takedowns we had to stick. We did see SureSet, WaterDogs folks, and ****** pop loose so I know those guys went home happy. Congrats to the victors :cheers:

[talk2elk]

Uh oh Hogmaster, sneakin' out the best looking women fishing eh? :wink:

Great to meet you Flatfish, his better half and dog and 5 Cents, his better half and family.

My old man landed a chrome 24 URB today, visiting from out of state. Precious time. Saw Tilla bogart two himself today. :rolleyes:

With all the other posts going on about no brainers, I still say "hey you turkeys, leave some more room below each other between the lines!" This ain't shad fishing. :grin:

******-
I used to hand the rod off to the wife but she really doesn't want anything to do with that anymore. Plus it was one of the few times that I did better than her. I am still sore from the last spanking she gave me and my buddies on Cowlitz steelies. graemlins/berry.gif :grin:
She just hung a picture by the kitchen table of her and her 53 lber so I have to look at it everyday! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I hasn't been fishing that has let the weeds go. I have been buried with work. The last thing I want to do on a day off is deal with weeds. Especially when the fish are in. :grin:
