Default what a day!!!

I can not beleive my luck. I got out of the house at 4:30 this morning and went to the coast I first stopped by the best bait shop in Oregon (tillamook bait) and talked to my good friend dennis and got his views on a stream that we both fish he said it was good so off I went. I got to the river and hiked for 13.5 round trip miles [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] only to miss my one bite of the day on a jig I could not believe it .

On the way back we noticed a bald eagle, and my partner Lee and I both said "he must be leaving with the fish" at the same time

on the way back Lee and I stopped by the wilson and fished a couple of holes that have been good to me this winter and at the last hole after 4 guide boats and a private boat got through we started to fish it and a man walks up and ask's if it is ok if he joins us. I about feel over when he actually asked and of course had no problem at all with that. I must admitt looking at his rig I thought this guy has no chance it was a thrown together mix of a huge hook and a size 12 corkie with a string with 2 small split shot as weight and the hole we where in was probably 15 feet deep. to my amazement on his first cast he puts the hurt to a 10-11 lb clipped buck!!!

After that Lee and I caught the drift that it was not our day and walked out and like clock work when we got to the car another bald eagle flew over us!!!!

I just had to vent a little. if the guy who caught that fish see's this great job and if it works stick to it.

Jeff,

Sorry we missed you. We were down on the Nestucca River. It was way high too. Had a nice day hike to the Niagra Falls area. Got home late. Sorry we missed you.
