OceanBlue · 07-10-2003, 08:53 AM

The Pilar will depart Depoe Bay 0500 hrs Saturday, 7/12 with Pilar, OceanBlue and Puffin's Crew.

Undetermined whether the Pilar will see the ocean tomorrow. She's undergoing hull repairs today.

Miss B Haven · 07-10-2003, 08:54 AM

Have fun Bruce and crew! Looks like I'll be digging up a water line in the pasture and repairing. I either have a broken fitting at a frost free hydrant or a new artesian well has suddenly sprung up and is trying to reform Lake Hillsboro in my back yard. :shocked:
Hmmm...beach front property, I like it! :grin:

Pilar · 07-10-2003, 08:54 AM

Saturday, Depoe 0500 w/ Puffins Crew as able deck hand and Ocean Blue as my number one. She will be driving the boat and acting as pilot.

We may also get a little Salmon Fu Fu by the Newport whistler Friday if all goes well. I'm not sure who will be in the boat then but I feel like I need a little shakedown after the latest repair episode.

Fishmstr · 07-10-2003, 09:01 AM

I will be fishing out of Depoe Bay Sat and Sun with my Pa and crew. Departing launching ramp at 5 a.m.

Has anyone checked out the latest SST's? They look awesome...how close do you think the tuna will be???

best fishes,

Ragnar · 07-10-2003, 09:15 AM

Well Popeye,
I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but........I'll be going out as crew on the Black Rocket with CAPT KUJO and fellow crewmember Cooter on Saturday. We''ll be sporting the drysuits and probably be going pretty fast from what I hear. Cooooool! I believe the plan it to leave bright and early from Depot. See you out there I'm sure.
Ragnar

Threemuch · 07-10-2003, 09:33 AM

I will be out Sunday out of Newport On CD Johnson's 24 Bounty with CD, Bluebeast, and my youngest brother Chris. Coming down about 3pm on Saturday for some Recon. See you guys at the carking stations.

tailchaser · 07-10-2003, 09:43 AM

Looks like I'm going to make the trip up to see you guys on sunday out of Depoe Bay. I'm going to try and make the run with the pack of ifishers for the first time up North. I'm probably going to have a couple of rookies with me unless dad decides to bring the big boat. I'm chomping at the bit though to get it on! The weather forcast looks awsome. They should be getting closer and closer with the west swell! I wish I was out there today. WORK SUCKS!!! I'll either be in a 21' Fish Rite Sled (aka tailchaser) or dad's 27' Bayliner (sallysea). I can't wait to say FEEEESH ONN!!!!!!!!!!

Gun Rod Bow · 07-10-2003, 01:29 PM

Hello Popeye.

We admired your ride from quite near last Saturday afternoon (6ish) while crabbing down there with the fam. I pointed out the Salty Dog flag on the bow.

Looks like I'll be running out of Depot with "Big Shad Brad" on Saturday.

Goin home to spool the big reels.

Tight Lines!!!

Oh yeah, Nice freakin ride!!

Miss B Haven · 07-10-2003, 01:33 PM

popeye- you'll be able to pick up some bonus flatties on the way out. Pre-cooked and layin on top gaspin' for air. Proly some nice nooks too!

Oh ya- but El Nino subsided and disappeared. Hmm... wonder why all those floods have been happinin in the South/Midwest? :whazzup:
So - what's the end of August going to look like out there?

Fishplay · 07-10-2003, 01:37 PM

OceanBlue · 07-10-2003, 01:45 PM

Keta and Waterdog!? Greg, you and Dell got some great crew there! Waterdog's inagural trip? Or did he do the black rocket for tuna already?

WaterDog · 07-10-2003, 01:51 PM

DipSeaDiver · 07-10-2003, 02:00 PM

Skein and I are still interested in a couple of empty seats if there are any?? :grin:

If not, good luck and safe journey!!

Miss B Haven · 07-10-2003, 02:14 PM

fishplay- Keep an eye on Keta, I'm pretty sure what he did with that Tuna is illegal in every state except Alaska and California! :shocked:

OceanBlue · 07-10-2003, 03:07 PM

You go 'Dog!

Janis - I hope you and Skein find a ride!

John - We need a bigger BOAT! Dang!

Chum King · 07-10-2003, 03:25 PM

Popeye,

With 61 degree water on the Pile and climbing, we couldn't stand it anymore. We are planning to launch at South Beach at 5:00 and head out for the longfins. Do you have a specific location you are heading to, or a general course that will put us in the same general vicinity as you?

I'll be on board a 21' Trophy as my steering went out on my last trip and I just got the new parts today.

Good luck and hope to talk to you on the water.

Chum King

CATCH AND EAT · 07-10-2003, 03:38 PM

fishwhenican · 07-10-2003, 06:04 PM

I will be there Friday PM for o-dark-30 launch Sat. AM, with northriver1 and deck hand. Trying to get the "homemade outriggers" made (sorry Mark Mc they are not made from bamboo) in time for Sat. trip.

Albacore Tuna Captain · 07-10-2003, 08:21 PM

Go team go!!

I envy the fun you will have but I must fish close to the beach for bottom fish and salmon. I WANT TO BE TUNA SLAMMIN!!!!

Captain Mike

WaterDog · 07-11-2003, 07:11 AM

Catch and Eat,

I haven't caught sturgeon in so long I have forgotten what they looked like. Last fish I caught was a 13" trout under a bobber with power bait.

You can guarentee there will be pics. Lots of pics! :smile:

Let the blood bath begin.

OceanBlue · 07-11-2003, 07:14 AM

ATC - Why? I bet you can talk your customers into a tuna hunt :grin: Slamon and bottom feeders on the way in?

Sounds like it's gonna be one heck of a

on the water Sat.

Fishplay - you got a full crew or can you take Jim and Janis? I'd love to see them get out there for the bullets.

Sea Jypzee · 07-11-2003, 07:48 AM

Sorry Gang, Sea Jypzee won't be venturing out from Harbor this weekend, as duty calls and I must work this weekend. Will be with you all in spirit.

I wish you all tight lines, and blood covered decks! It sounds like you have a good group heading out. Read my report from last night, and you'll see that we hooked our last fish coming back in just inside of 15 miles out from Depoe Bay!

Uglygreen · 07-11-2003, 09:40 AM

Uglygreen and Gun Rod Bow depart Depoe Bay @ 05:00 AM Saturday.

TUNA TUNA TUNA!

UG

Gun Rod Bow · 07-11-2003, 09:58 AM

Big reels with fresh 60#, clones rigged and ready, plugs shiny and sharp, homemade outriggers should be ready for the next trip.

Casting rods ready for swimmers!

Let's get bloody!!

Miss B Haven · 07-11-2003, 10:58 AM

UG- Watch out for FA's boat when you go out! :whazzup: Almost a minus 2 tide, he might be stuck in the crack in that wide body of his! :shocked: Going to be might skinny. :grin:

Hope he's OK, he's been fighting an ear thing for weeks and I haven't seen him. :depressed:

Critr Gitr · 07-11-2003, 01:40 PM

Crit'r Git'r is crashing the party with Reef Diver and Dr. Feelgood.

Ah yes, reminds me of the days on the Gulf Coast chasing Mr. T's cousin - BONITA (aka Little Tunny) !!!!

Kevin Newell · 07-11-2003, 03:53 PM

Well I'm outa here and headed to Depoe Bay!! See all of ya at the boat launch in the morning!

It's going to be hard to sleep tonight.

Good luck!

SamBen · 07-11-2003, 11:03 PM

Choo Choo will be heading out on sunday for tuna if weather permits. 20' long has to be a nice day to make the run. Any gps coordinates would be appreciated as well as any one else interested in teaming up or meeting at a spot.
If not there are always sams and lingers. Also noticed people from Sherwood and Tigard in the discussion would like to meet with people who enjoy this sport as much as I always saftey in numbers

El Shaddai · 07-11-2003, 11:15 PM

Sounds like quite an armada of boats on Saturday........we will have to settle for batting cleanup on Sunday.......

corrirod · 07-11-2003, 11:35 PM

Well, still trying to get over the pneumonia but I've had all I can take of you guys cleaning up the tuna! [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img] I'm going to see if I can get out tomorrow, maybe just for salmon, then Sunday make a tuna trek. No guarantees though.

Reef Diver · 07-11-2003, 11:47 PM

Reef Diver will be running with the pack out of Depoe Bay Saturday in a friends Tolly Craft.

See you on the Blue!

TUNA TUNA TUNA

:tongue: :grin:

BUGLEMAN · 07-12-2003, 02:22 PM

15 miles out of Garrabaldi and Robalo Bill and I hooked a U-turn. Too sloppy. We did end up with 4 nice 7 lb coho though.

Captain and Marie · 07-12-2003, 11:50 PM

Hey please keep us posted on how everyone did today!

Im anxicous to hear who did what out there.

The wind is picking up here, a small front has moved in all ready! I hope everyone is going to have a safe trip in.

The boat launch in Garibaldi is packed with boats coming back, too much wind...
