towing challenge for the challenge?

greenbuttskunk · 01-08-2004, 08:26 AM

I'm keeping me fingers crossed it will warm up today and tomorrow so I can get the boat out. Came into work today, pretty nasty, but I made it.
Sure enjoyed the two days off with the family.
Lets all pray for some melt off by sat.

Yes, a collective prayer for warmer temperatures might just help!! No school again today, so I'm home. My husband couldn't miss any more days so braved the roads to Stimsons, just below Hagg Lake. Made it okay, thank goodness :smile: . He said 47 wasn't bad, but the turnoff to the mill was pretty dicey.

Dipnet :grin:

GBS,

I HAD to get into the office today. You know what they say about idle hands...

If we need to, I have studs and chains on my Explorer. We can get that boat out. But lets hope for better roads, ramps and weather. I would hate to reschedule. Seems like I have been doing that a lot lately

:grin:

greenbuttskunk · 01-08-2004, 08:34 AM

no kidding! I'm chompin' at the bit. May take you up on the studs, would come in handy on the boat ramp. I think we'll make it out, or "team nose hairs" will have to hit a river for steelies, but I'm going fishing by god!

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 09:16 AM

I'm wit ya brodda

FallRiverGuy · 01-08-2004, 09:21 AM

I also have studs on the mighty Tacoma. If Saftychain's rig has trouble getting out of the ramp I can hook up my rig to it and she'll be right. One way or another we'll be fishing.

greenbuttskunk · 01-08-2004, 09:27 AM

be safe coming over Brian. Hope the drive from Bend is not too dicey for ya. If it's too lousy at you moms out in east county you can stay over at my place in portland too. The offer is still open.
Brad

FallRiverGuy · 01-08-2004, 09:31 AM

No worries. We have a heat wave in Bend. I don't expect any trouble till I get to the Sandy area. If it is still icy at mom's then I will take you up on your offer.

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 09:34 AM

Brad,

We're going fishing Saturday even if you have to stock you son's kiddie pool :grin: [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

goodkarma · 01-08-2004, 09:42 AM

it's all clear in Corvallis, kids are back to school and the roads are clear.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">That's not such a bad idea...Then you guys might actually catch fish !!!

Riverkeeper · 01-08-2004, 10:05 AM

Steelies might be a good idea for team nosehairs, since Team HE WHO SMELT IT will be catching ALL the sturgeon that day!!

Reel Fun Fish'n · 01-08-2004, 10:08 AM

Jeesh, you guys are talking about Saturdays challenge and I'cant even get out of my driveway yet. Roads here are still iced over and undriveable (imo)Ice so long it go from the wheelwells on my truck all the way to ground, and in someplaces it's so thick it supports my 275lbs

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 10:23 AM

Calling you out John,

How about a side bet? Losing team gets their picture taken fishing from the kiddie pool and posted on the board :tongue:

(deal subject to team acceptance :grin: )

wootersen · 01-08-2004, 10:44 AM

Yeah...I better not get too deep in the smack talk just yet :grin:

I managed a pity seat with baitboy and andycoho (thanks again guys). I'd be game for it, but I don't know about my teammates. (If you guys are watching this...get my back, will ya ?)

How about a pitcher of Mickey Finn's afterwards ? 1 Point for every shaker to the boat, 5 for every keeper ? Least points buys beer ? I hope you guys bring some money, I can drink lots of beer.

We will be fishing tomorrow, getting the team dialed in. We're pretty hardcore :grin: Maybe we'll decide on an appropriate team name then. You guys might need to change your name to "I'm Buyin "

FallRiverGuy · 01-08-2004, 10:44 AM

Keep it up RK. Team They Who Stunk It Up just might be setting themselves up for a Seahawk like overtime melt down due to bombastic overtures.

Riverkeeper · 01-08-2004, 10:48 AM

Riiiight. Brad, got any whitefish in your wading pool? :grin:

wootersen · 01-08-2004, 12:59 PM

Yeah...We should all definitely meet up at the Mickey Finn's afterward.

Greatboatskunk and his team will be buyin' !!!!

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 01:06 PM

Buyin' tissue for your cryin' :grin:
can't stand cryers

Riverkeeper · 01-08-2004, 01:21 PM

Towing challenge for the sturgeon-challenged :grin:

greenbuttskunk · 01-08-2004, 01:24 PM

hey riverkeeper,
better bring that bushmills along, I'll be looking to steal some from ya!

Tanner · 01-08-2004, 01:54 PM

Hey Safety Chain,
Just make sure you grab the right waders this time. :tongue:

Riverkeeper · 01-08-2004, 02:10 PM

I borrowed a radio controlled model speed boat, which has enough room on the deck for the bottle. It has a range of up to 500 yards, so we can be anchored in different spots, and still pass the bushmills.

kodiakfisher · 01-08-2004, 04:01 PM

I wasn't really jealous until the talk of bushmills started. :depressed: All I will say is that there were a few times we had to stay late at work in order to safely go home. I don't know if the company made out or not for our "extra efforts"

You guys really know how to hurt a guy. I hope you guys get a few keepers for your efforts. Brad I know you're sitting good with the fishing gods.

FYI I have a towing machine F-350 Diesel CC 4wd chains all around. Don't worry I don't have a boat getting in the way of helping one of you out with lesser vehicles.

Greatboatskunk...

Tanner,

Got it covered.

Thanks :grin:

bait boy · 01-08-2004, 08:20 PM

I still dont know if I can make it up and down a boat ramp yet. I guess the time will tell, praying to the weather gods as we speak....

Did someone say Beer me?

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 11:01 PM

Andy will cover you and baitboy will school you, you got a nice ride :grin:

Still, Team Nosehairs will be thirsty from the warm up shakers and workout of keeper retrieval.

[img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] RK and the boys can play the mood music for their humiliation

greenbuttskunk · 01-08-2004, 11:11 PM

RK,
we're gonna hurt you're boat in all kinds of ways.
As Stallone once said. I'll give you a war you won't believe!!!!
Woot,
I like the mickey's pitcher Idea John, I should start thinking about what kind of brew you'll be buying me since I'm the captain of the boat. :grin:

wootersen · 01-08-2004, 11:14 PM

I think the "skunk" says it all.. :grin:

I like a nice Hefewiezen....write that down.

:grin:

:grin:

Riverkeeper · 01-08-2004, 11:26 PM

Hey wootersen, I like Hefy too. Maybe we'll drink a couple glasses together while we watch team greenbutthairs fishing for carp in brads pool.

SafetyChain · 01-08-2004, 11:27 PM

don't need to, my fav as well, Big ones :grin:

WaterDog · 01-09-2004, 05:05 AM

I headed to the boat show yesterday and due to the chain requirements on I-5, I crossed the St.Johns Bridge. Based on what I saw I don't think anyone will be launching out of Cathedral Park tomorrow unless the road gets plowed and the Parking lot gets cleared. The condidtions in that area of Portland are horrible. I would assume the 42nd St. ramp is in the same shape. Maybe it will clear up but it's hard to think that positive after seeing the conditions.

Sturgeon42, You live there near Cathedral. What do you think?

Good luck and be VERY careful if you head out tomorrow.

Sturgeon 42 · 01-09-2004, 07:05 AM

Pretty dicy last night, but the road behind the Police station is sanded, I will give it a drive this evening, or this afternoon...will report later unless someone goes there today.... :grin: :grin: :grin:
