Skunked 2..the saga continues...

Oh well...another day passes with no action on my fish bonker. Pete...I guess you're not the jinx...unless it's lingering. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] On the brighter side...we DID see one fish caught today, and it wasn't in my boat. It was kinda in the distance, but looked like a pretty good one. Will be "Fishing in the Rain"...tomorrow. I just know they're coming. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

The good news is guys that a fresh batch of up river brights have moved into the Astoria area in the last few days.............The bad news is the nets are going to get them before you do [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

STOP the insanity! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Other good news is water temp is down and the dang things come out today, yes?

Mark - should we start charging Stew?

I see nets in the posts, Are all the nets above 205 bridge?

I think you're in the wrong place FM. Hate to kick you when you're down but Cody and I have been fishing our haunts and doing quite well. Past three days have been some of the best all year.
Monday - 1 hatchery steelie
Tuesday - 1 hatchery steelie
1 30 lb upriver bright
Wednesday - 9 steelies hooked, 7 landed for a boat limit of 4 hatchery fish! This report is just off the river. I had to work today and got the message when I got home. You can guess where I'll be tonight. Give me or him a buzz and we'll see if we can't help. Good luck.

Birdhunter..Yeah...I know where you guys are...been using our fav. spinner?? Glad you're having some action...Actually..I've had enough steelie action....I'm targeting the big dogs, and only the big dogs now. Let's compare notes in about a week or so!!..and yes ******...I think Stew at least should be buying the beer!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Not your spinner, but one of Cody's personal ones. He's tying them up and selling them now. They do look suspiciously similar to some I saw this spring. Just a few minor tweaks. The chinook was on a gold clancy for the record.

FM, we're waiting on pins and needles for your daily report.
How was it today?

Pete · 08-24-2001, 05:00 PM

The tide runs from about 11 am to almost 7 pm ... he'll be on the river for a while. Don't wait up, Ma.

Perfect Drift · 08-24-2001, 05:03 PM

That's why I like this place
Chuckle, chuckle
Make me laugh

SureSet · 08-24-2001, 08:15 PM

I'm sure the beer and the BS was good.... How about the BIGSTEW Karma? Was it as effective as it was on the Wednesday PB drawing or did you guys have some takers today?
