Dory Fisherman

Is there anyone on the board who Dory fishes off the beach. It might be fun to get a group together and fish for a day.

I think Fish Assassin is/was a dory dude. So tell us about your dory. Did you build her yourself? Never enough stories about fishing boats.

I fish off the beach but I'm in a 16' inflatable, I have a lot of friend in Pacific City that beach launch dorys. On the Weed ends (starting Memorial Day week end and continuing till at least labor day. Lots of them have reservations to Camp at Webb Park owned by Tillamook county, right across the street from the beach at PC.

Let me know if you want to hook with them sometime this summer.

I have a 22' wood dory that I just got this year. I haven't launched off of the beach yet but I plan to this summer.

Fish Assn is a Doryman with vast knowledge on the subject.

In a few years, I will get one of Vics boats.

Mark and the dog.

Hi Guys,

While we're on the subject of Dorys and Dorymen ... there will be a Dorymens
meeting this coming weekend at the Fire Hall in Pacific City. I'll try to get
more details about time and stuff from my wife ... I think she kept the notice that
they sent us. Maybe one of the other dorymen here on this site has the details at
hand?? Greg O??

Capt. K,

Thanks for posting the meeting date and time. If I have a slow day salmon fishing, Friday, up North, I'll attend the meeting. If the fishing is decent I'll be fishing until dark on Saturday.

Birdnest, I have a 22' Learned Dory with a cabin. I commercial fish salmon, tuna, and halibut.

If anyone wants to fish with me, let me know. I normally fish alone.

fish assassin · 05-20-2003, 06:27 AM

Deepline, what is the name on your Dory?? I know most of the Dorymen ... do I
know you?

Deepline · 05-20-2003, 08:33 PM

Swampy,

How does the middle of July sound? The catching should be good for salmon. I'll e-mail you with further details.

FA,

The name of the boat is the Pursuer. You don't know me, but you may know my dad who fished a dory named the Newana (Spelling may be incorrect) during the sixties. I don't fish out of PC, because I have no market close by. If I had a market to sell to I would really enjoy fishing off PC.

I will be down this weekend with my Dory. Getting it out of Greg Marine at Garibaldi tommorrow. I fish Grays Legacy II. See you at the meeting or on the big blue.

When I was a kid nearly 50 years ago now ( man oh man) I would go to the Newport Beach (Calif.) pier and watch the Dorymen launch their boats by rolling them over wooden rollers into the surf. I would wait for them to return and help them push the dorys up to their market right there on the beach.

They would carefully coil their longlines into large wooden tubs so that they could easily pay them out baiting as they went.

I was a real wharf-rat in those days and would rather hang out at the beach or get up at 0400 and put bumperstickers on cars in the parking lot of the charters to earn a trip out fishing.

Anyway, after awhile, a couple of Dorymen taught me to coil the lines and take care of the boats and then they would take me fishing occasionally. They were my heroes.

Anyone else remember the Dorymen and the market at that pier?

Kugo - I made it to the Dory meeting this past weekend. Thanks for posting the time/place. I am now an official member of the association!

I live in e. Oregon, yet my in-laws live pretty much 1/2 time in Pacfic City (retired), and I'm there in tow with the wife and kids quite often in the summer. My father-in-law and I are seriously considering purchasing a dory sometime in the next couple of years. I'm in the process of doing my homework and I could use a lot of help.

If any of you Dory guys need someome to net fish, cut bait, bring a big lunch, take pictures of your catch, lie to, load/unload the boat, and even clean fish on a trip, please let me know! I'd love to go out and pick your brain! I'll be in Pacific City from June 20 through July 4 - I'd love to go out!
