Default Chinooks .... Oh yeah!

What a bonanza! I was off in my favorite spot (somewhere between the mouth of Multnomah Channel and St. Helens) where the water is clearing nicely. As the tide started flowing there was a bite! And do I mean a Bite! 5 boats, 8 fish, 30 mintues. All the fish were hatchery hens, bright as sunshine! Dang, I wish I could fish it again tomorrow. ... Hey! I can! Just follow me and I'll show you the spot. I'll be in the red/green/blue/white/silver alumawillnorthcustomriteduckweld.

Almost forgot. Mine was about 20 and took a plug cut herring in 19 feet. Musta been the Marie's shrimp scent!

Way to go Pete, I have two more weeks to go, tied to a desk in an office. Then I'll be working from home forever and a day. I'll be in a position that will allow myself to get out for a few hours each week. Can hardly wait :tongue: Yeah baby, then I'll be rubbing elbows with some of the barnicle collectors.
FWF1, bummer man, just keep you hooks wet and it will happen for all of us. :grin:

*Fish only bite wet hooks*
