Sellwoodbridge 3 / Gill netters 0

THE HAPPY HOOKER · 03-02-2004, 10:18 AM

Good morning ifishers. Sellwood bridge has showed some activity. Three lucky boats as of 11:00am. One looks to be about 25/26lbs. Believe it or not the chief is not one of the the lucky ones yet. However he's still trolling the waters. Water conditions still look very cloudy. It's nice to know some are getting by the netters.

Thanks for the update Mr Hooker. Sounds to me like I need to kick this work thing and do some of that fishing thing

Happy Hooker ... could you identify the boats that have secured fish this morning? The old man was suppose to be out and I want to know if I should fix dinner myself or if I should show up at Mom and Dad's for fresh fish. Curious also if they are using flasher's this morning or just herring.
Thanks ... that's a tough spot to work and stay focused when you have it all happening right outside.

Good afternoon Bigwaterbigfish, What i saw this am were two gentelman in a red 18 foot aluminum boat net the first. (nice 25/26lbs). Second boat looked to be a smokercraft 16 foot with three on board. Next alumaweld super vee one man and of course his best friend (black lab). any of these sound like a good house to be at for the dinner bell. P.S. Rumor has it the legend (chief) netted one just after sunrise. Have no reason to doubt it confirmed by other boaters. Man this working in a bubble is very trying. It's getting warm in here and the oxygen is running out. Time to go fishing. :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Chief didn't net one this morning...Richard caught the first that was landed. We (John) had one on, but lost it on a short-distance conservation release...must've been some action after we left at 10:30...

I could'nt agree with more Mr Smeltman. It's time to retire and fish our lives away. :grin: :grin: :grin:

hi happy hooker.
thanks for the info, but the real reason im writing this is you got my curiousity up. ive read your post in past and it seemed like you gave an update about every 3 hrs or so.
I hope this isnt too nosey, but are you doing these from a boat, or live right on the water, or somthing?,,,thanks.

P.S.
just curious, not trying to pry, good job keep em coming [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Good afternoon LQQkastar. Having an office with four sided windows facing the bridge and overlooking our store/gas dock makes it sometimes hard to get my work done. Never to busy though to start jonesing everytime I see someone netting these trophy nooks. Should be fishing in the rain later in the week.
