Chief owns the Sellwood

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 08:11 AM

The CHIEF strikes again. AT about 8:45 chief boated a very nice 18 pounder. Once again 16 boaters trying and time and time again it's all about the chief. Chief it's very difficult to get any work done when every time i turn around your slapping your net in the water. WAY TO GO

Just heard that, too...
C'mon, Chief...three in five days...save some for the rest of us or we'll have to take you to federal court.

Don't get me wrong, I love these Up To the Minute, play by plays of the Sellwood Springers, but where do you work? Or do you work?

It seems all you do is give us play by play of the Sellwood area.

Do you work at Staff Jennings? [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] That would give us a clue as to what you do for a living. :grin: If you do can you get me a discount on my parts for my boat?

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 08:28 AM

fishchaser sounds like you did your math correctly. And yes i do work more than i should. However it's a great office to have. Summer is almost upon us. P.S. looks like everyone is following the chief [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

fishchaser · 02-17-2004, 08:30 AM

I do alot of buisness with Staff. Hope to meet you the next time I'm in.

Happy - how long have you worked at SJ?

My uncle Ed D. worked there for something like 36 years before he retired a couple years ago.

Thanks for the updates :grin:

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 08:57 AM

The chiefs luck is rubbing off. Looks to be a beauty. Can't stand this working thing :tongue:

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 09:13 AM

BAIT O EGGS Great to hear from you iv'e been with sj for a while. I was a professional golfers for 18 years before i found out my true love is fishing/boating. Life has been good so far. However we need to be fishing. Looks like a 4th fish is being landed as we speak. more to come.

Thumb Burner · 02-17-2004, 09:37 AM

These play by plays are driving me nuts at work. Yet keep them comming, damn I am tired of plunking I need a boat asap.
Thanks for the updates.

And me too! But maybe he can show me his tricks.

SKP · 02-17-2004, 12:02 PM

Why is the Sellwood bridge the place, why not other bridges and channels. What's so special about this particular spot, I'm sure if fish are there, they are lower too.

The only thing I see special is that it's posted here.

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 12:06 PM

Hi smallfry The chief is the legend of the bridge. He's been fishing there for many many years. He retired from teaching a while ago and notorious for always catching the fish. Very friendly as well as the man to know and follow if you want to catch fish.

Small Fry · 02-17-2004, 12:08 PM

Thanks HH

BigWaterBigFish · 02-17-2004, 12:36 PM

Did anyone see anyone else catch anything at Sellwood, say in a Whaler with a big Rottweiler aboard???

Bobby Ray · 02-17-2004, 01:05 PM

BigWaterBigFish,
Chief was the only one who boated a fish today. He handed me a little special something to try out, I would never have thought of using it. I'll give it a whirl and see what happens... :shocked:

SKP,

Sellwood area is getting highlighted because that's where most trollers are flocking to. It gets pretty congested out there. There's days when it looks like Oregon City :depressed:

Abalone · 02-17-2004, 01:16 PM

The Chief is a River Rat Just like Dud Nelson used to be.

That's what I want to be when I grow up.

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 01:37 PM

Yes other fish were caught four that i actually saw. All before 1:00pm. Only three boats out trying right know. Good luck fishing, I'm hearing of fish being caught throughout the entire river. The fish are here. Let's quit working and start fishing.

Bait O' Eggs · 02-17-2004, 01:39 PM

I heard one of those 4 fish was a sturgeon picked up while salmon fishing.

BigWaterBigFish · 02-17-2004, 01:48 PM

Hey Big n Bright ... that little something wasn't a flasher was it ... noticed most guys were using those smaller Delta's, I think Chief will use a smaller dodger but some of the old timer in times of murky water will use a set up similiar to a walleye spinner ahead of the herring. We'll be there fishing on Saturday and Sunday

Bobby Ray · 02-17-2004, 01:55 PM

THE HAPPY HOOKER,

I seen a few fishermen fighting snags for a while and they were pretty close to your office window. Are you sure about 4 fish? I was there till noon & Chief was the only one. [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

BWBF,
Nope it wasn't a flasher, it's simpler than that.

All Hail the Chief!

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 02-17-2004, 03:41 PM

Well it's time to do some fishin. Currently 2 boats with no luck. All in all a good start to the still very early season. Can't wait to wet my net. I'll be on the waters the next few days. Continued success for those trying. Happy fishing From THE HAPPY HOOKER. p.s. chief you are and always will be THE MAN.

Small Fry · 02-17-2004, 11:59 PM
