To all you boat owners!

07-29-2001, 05:31 PM

I was thinking about this yesterday when I had the good fortune of having an excellent day with Mark (fishin mission)on the Columbia. If it weren't for gracious and generous guys like Mark and others I wouldn't look like some kind of fishing expert (which I'm not) So to all you guys that let the boatless of us tag along a big THANK YOU!!!! This is the list of the boat owners that I've been lucky enough fish with this past year.
A BIG thanks to all!!!!

Hey Stew, You've never made it out on the Ol Sea Swan. Have all the post in the past scared you off. I did cover that hole with tape on both sides and I do not try the water in the gas just so the tank says its full anymore. See I learn from my mistakes. I was wandering though that if I charge my batteries up to a full charge on both of them and turn the key to start if I could troll that way on the starter without hte motor running in casse I do run out of gas instead of buying a trolling motor. What do you think will it work.
Seriously we should plan a bouy 10 trip. Me, you, RT and Mr. Fisherman or maybe bait boy.
Remember we only target 30lb steelhead!

Stew:

I was fortunate enough to be invited on a boat, when I was still a bank maggott.

"Tanner" took me out on both his drift boat and sled.

We should think about putting together a "take an IFISH bankie on your boat float".

Stz ll · 07-30-2001, 06:55 AM

I would be happy to participate in a take a bankie fishing day or whatever. After we have these gethers and I get to know more people I would hope to get the opportunity fish with lots of i-fishers.

Stz ll · 07-30-2001, 06:57 AM

**** I did it again thats get togethers not gethers. Where is the spell check when you need one??

Speaking as a fellow bank maggot, I think that you've had a great idea smokey! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

I think Capin' Dan has been sponsoring his own little private take an Ifisher fishing rally since springer season on the Columbia.

Deepsleeper, You know you are always welcome on the Read Headed Hook'r, but if you only knew what went on while you where sleeping, you would probably not go! Any of you guys ever get the chance to take him along, don't forget your ear plugs!

I think I live with one of those guys. Hey count me in for the fishing trip. I'll take someone out. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Tanner · 07-30-2001, 01:04 PM

My son and I usually have an empty seat on my boat. Hope you don'yt mind being outfished by a 10 year old kid. It took me a while to get over it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

FishinMission · 07-30-2001, 03:35 PM

There's occasionally seats open on my boat, and there have been a few Ifish non boaters and boaters coming along with me me. I enjoy meeting Ifish folk. Your ticket in my boat is to be available after about 11 or noon.

rags · 07-30-2001, 04:31 PM

If any of you IFishers can go during the week let me know. I can sometimes get away and have an open seat.

toblerone · 07-30-2001, 08:06 PM

Wow,I just Row'd in from Umatilla and boy are my arms tired. Good thing I was going down stream. Us drifters sure have it hard chaseing fish in the big river. Flat bottoms over whitecaps sure take a toll on ones kidneys. Somewhere near the Dalles I found some fun whitewater going over this big cement thing??? Kidd'in aside. I got pretty pumped reading that several of you folks would open up a seat on your sea-going vessels to a bank maggot or even a drifter!
If the offer is still available I sure would appreciate an opportunity. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] With a few days notice I can move my schedule around.
Foods my business so lunch is on me. Share gas whatever? Keep me in mind PLEASE and Thankyou.
Think Fish

Deepslayer · 07-30-2001, 11:20 PM

I wholeheartedly agree with Stew. If it wasn't for sturgn taking me out so often. I wouldn't know half of what I do and wouldn't go fishing much.
Thanks, John.

NEUTRON · 07-30-2001, 11:29 PM

Rick, what a hoot. No wonder my web browser is locking up so bad today. Too much CRACK I guess. Somebody needs to come up with an award like an Ifish grammy for best use of graphics or other photo props. where's those
moderators????

WheresMyBobber · 07-30-2001, 11:31 PM

Which one of those guys is RT? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Slow Roll · 09-27-2001, 10:02 AM

Sounds like a great way to meet some new people. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Hey Rags, you watch "Fishing the West" to? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

rags · 09-27-2001, 11:05 PM

Slow Roll,
Yea, I loved that show. Larry was kind of corny. I loved some of his stupid little sayings. We used many on the river and it was always good for a few laughs.

Slow Roll · 09-27-2001, 11:17 PM

He may have been corny, but he always got into some really nice fish. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

No Pilgram · 09-27-2001, 11:51 PM

I wonder if you can get some of his reruns??? He was great until he got traveling to these out of the way places fishing for cats and bass. I guess fishing is fishing. How are you feeling Rags. I'll bet your trigger finger is twitching. Has Snapshot given you a call. He is supposed to have fished up in the sound this week.
