Confidence!

Jennie@ifish · 05-24-2005, 04:16 PM

Expect a fish with every cast. I did, today! Read the front page!

We got three in about as many hours. I got my first 30 feet from the get go. :smile: I got two and Bill got one.

It made my face happy, but my body didn't seem to like it. Off to ER, but here is a teaser.

Dang... I wanted fresh springer for dinner, SO BAD!

Hopefully I'll be home tonight to tell more. I really dislike hospitals!!!

Jen

Jennie@ifish · 05-24-2005, 04:17 PM

I'm off. I'll keep Pete updated if I'm not going to be back, tonight... K? :smile:

Have a great evening--
Jen

Pete · 05-24-2005, 04:21 PM

Beautiful smile for a beautiful fish, Jen! You matched my entire springer season in one morning! It'll be a great evening when I hear that you're home from the hospital and feeling better.

10-7 · 05-24-2005, 04:34 PM

EXCELLENT

Fshklr · 05-24-2005, 04:48 PM

Daaaamn!!! that is the greatest Chrome pic of this yr!!

Hope the report is a slap on the fanny and a quick scolding!! "But, Doc!! Doc,..It was a Springer!! Well 2 Springers!!"

Get home soon and good karma your way for good news!!

I love your tag line,

Here's to many, many, many
more skids left to come!

You OK???

:smile:

TooDrunkToFish · 05-24-2005, 05:54 PM

Very nice fish.

Best wishes on the hospital visit. Come home soon.

Jennie@ifish · 05-24-2005, 07:10 PM

The rest of the story:

I left the emergency room against medical advice. Had to sign a waver. There comes a time when test after test gets really old. I hope I did the right thing.

That said...

Tim Juarez gave me a lucky spinner!

I caught these fish on upper Tillamook Bay on his spinner, with a chartreuse dot on the blade. It was a chartreuse and white spinner with yellow beads.

The first was a total slack bite. I reeled up, no fish.. (or so I thought) 3 seconds later a tick tick like a trout. "That's a classic T bay fish!" I thought... Reeled up a bit, no fish... Then... TOTAL SLACK! THAT'S A FISH! I gave it my all and sure enough, there was a chrome beauty on the end of my line.

Next fish came fourty five minutes later in the shallows. (About four feet of water) Total slack and total classic T bay bite. Fish on!

Funny! I can land a fish sitting down! It's awesome! The first fish I was really good at keeping calm. The second fish I fell back into my "WHOO HOOO!" mode and accidently put the rod butt into my gut to play it. OOPS. :depressed:

He was a fighter and wanted to bury his head in the sand like they do, which was odd, cuz it wasn't very deep. You'd think it would be a top water fighter. Nope! Anyhow, I got him! That's what counts.

Next fish came after the wind picked up. It was getting nasty out there. I got to do the trolling motor and Bill got to fish. Nice change for him! :smile:

It's sure hard to set the right speed when you don't have a line out to gauge how fast you should go! Plus, that wind is nasty to keep a straight boat in. I got some good practice time in.

Anyhow-- it was a blast. I think we saw half a dozen fish landed in the three hours we were there.

Have fun! :smile:

I'm going to bed. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Jen

Jennie@ifish · 05-24-2005, 07:11 PM

oh yeah... Here's my other fish and then all three fish. :smile:

Ryan Pultz · 05-24-2005, 07:15 PM

Pete · 05-24-2005, 07:43 PM

I'm sure being home is better than the alternative. I hope a good night's sleep resolves, or at least improves, your problems from today. You have my thoughts and prayers!

Those are some nice feesh!

Glad to hear you guys had a great day. Hope you're feeling ok.

salmon whisperer · 05-24-2005, 07:53 PM

Jen-

I have been having a bummer of a time the last couple of days... (wrong place to go into it in detail) but your picture snapped me out of it.

Thank you for posting a picture of a beautiful fish and an equally beautiful person

Your smile is infectious. Thank you.

Bait O' Eggs · 05-24-2005, 08:06 PM

Nice fish

I sure hope you are feeling better.

We dont need you in a health relapse

Cool fish, now do what you have to. Make sure you don't set yourself back too far.

5-Cents · 05-24-2005, 08:20 PM

Ummmmmmmmm, WOWSERS!

Hey if I had to pick any way to go it would probably be after limiting out on chrome bright springers

PullShootExplode · 05-24-2005, 08:26 PM

I had to put on my sunglasses

those are some beauties. Hope that sleep helps and hope your back on the water very soon. Way to put the

down to them.

ampersat · 05-24-2005, 08:48 PM

I hope you're sleeping already and dreaming of catching them all over again. Hopefully the thrill of catching them will give your spirit a boost of energy and help you get healthier quicker. I gotta see more pics like that!!

Steve L. · 05-24-2005, 09:23 PM

Your smile says it all ! Now get some rest 'cause there's more boats need floatin and more fish for catchin' and days on the water to relish.
Thanks for everything Jen

Jen, awesome fish you and Bill got today! Take it easy though, health is now fish will be here again. We all want you to be here again too. Plus that Bill got one diuring Bounty on the Bay, leave some fish for me. I hope to bonk one or two this coming weekend, will be down there Friday when the sun comes up. Hope to shout at ya, since I missed meeting you at Bounty on the Bay, site had problems on Friday night, saw you there didn't get a chance to say hello though.Talked to Bill a moment on Saturday, he told us of your racing heart, so missed meeting you then too. If I see you and Bill on the wayter I'll give a holler, and save some chrome for me! LOL

fatfish · 05-24-2005, 10:36 PM

Great looking dog and the fish aren't bad either.

Jennie@ifish · 05-25-2005, 07:29 AM

But what about the pretty lady?

Just A Little Chrome · 05-25-2005, 08:05 AM

Jen, first let me say stay on top of your health but sometimes you just have to get out there right? Believe me I know.

Second you post was exciting to read and very informative to someone that has only fished T-Bay a couple times with no luck. I am coming to the coast for a long weekend and was planning on fishing T-Bay but was questioning my decision based on my Portland Springer experiences :depressed: Do I need any more punishment???

Anyway what I'm trying to say is this is how the board should be used all the time. You get it. I get it. Let's hope everyone will catch on eventually. Information is a good thing to share.

Enjoy those fish you are my hero

Great job Jennie, and please keep yourself healthy as your devoted and caring fan club would greatly miss your presence on this site.

Jennie@ifish · 05-25-2005, 09:12 AM

I've never seen so many scales. The first fish still must have been feeding that day. They just exploded into a celebration of glitter, all over the boat and all over me!
It was so fun!

The Greek · 05-25-2005, 10:26 AM

Nice job Jen....I would bet the trip to the hospital was a small price to pay when you match it up to a quick limmit of 20+ lb, T-bay, spinner caught springers. To many fisherpeople, that is a once in a lifetime dream. Take it a little easier on the "Whoo Hoo's" next time and dont get that heart a racing so fast. :grin: Keep up the good work and see ya on the water, tomorrow maybe

Jennie@ifish · 05-26-2005, 09:12 AM

Pretty darn good.
Last night I tried it with maple syrup and a bunch of spices.
I love having springer around to try different ways. YUM. Can you do anything to ruin it? NOPE!

Tillamook Bay fishing should be good for spring chinook with this weekend's strong tides. Jennie Logsdon of Tillamook caught two hatchery springers Tuesday within an hour.

Second you post was exciting to read and very informative to someone that has only fished T-Bay a couple times with no luck. I am coming to the coast for a long weekend and was planning on fishing T-Bay but was questioning my decision based on my Portland Springer experiences :depressed: Do I need any more punishment??? Anyway what I'm trying to say is this is how the board should be used all the time. You get it. I get it. Let's hope everyone will catch on eventually. Information is a good thing to share. Enjoy those fish you are my hero __________________ 20' NR Ranger 350 HP Inboard. 22' Hewes Craft HT ET Honda 150 / 15 HP German Shorthair Huntin/Fishin dog

They just exploded into a celebration of glitter, all over the boat and all over me! It was so fun! :smile: I'm still high. Why do people do drugs?

Nice job Jen....I would bet the trip to the hospital was a small price to pay when you match it up to a quick limmit of 20+ lb, T-bay, spinner caught springers. To many fisherpeople, that is a once in a lifetime dream. Take it a little easier on the "Whoo Hoo's" next time and dont get that heart a racing so fast. :grin: Keep up the good work and see ya on the water, tomorrow maybe Chris V. __________________ NOW BOOKING WINTER STEELHEAD !!! 503-349-1377 G.LOOMIS & SHIMANO PROSTAFF FISHERMANS MARINE & OUTDOOR PROSTAFF NW GUIDES & ANGLERS ASSOC.
