There comming

[Bait O' Eggs]

I have had it so bad I have actually spent a few hours on the water. These trips are kind of like a nicotene patch, just enough to relieve the shakes and nervousness from chinook withdrawl.

They're, there, their. Which one did you *really* want to use in
your subject line?

Steve has no idea, his secretary is on vacation and just found his office after looking since Monday. :shocked:

He didnt even get the other word right either. Good thing he left it at 2 words.

I don't know about everybody else, but I'm getting antsey..... Haven't fished since Mid November, just been working.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Fishbait, you forgot you fished in December at the Sturgeon Challenge. But then again.....was that really fishing?

Roy, You are already trying aye? Well, I'll be trying this weekend. I'll post a picture of a fish so you can remember what they look like. :tongue:

I cannot wait for them either boys. Bring 'em on!!! :grin:

Seems like every time the water was clearing up, I'd be at work. Then it would get blown out again, and I'd have a few days off. Can't seem to get it right. My ducks have been in a row since late January- boat, motor, and trailer tuned, lubed & gassed up, rods rigged, herring in freezer, tackle boxes organized, etc etc.
If the Willamette doesn't clear soon I'm gonna have to go hit the lower CR. [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

Hey, I just noticed I made Chinook 16 posts ago! Party on, Garth! :smile:

Sturgeon fishing being as good as it's been, I'd have an Alvin or Kwikfish dropper on my line to improve my odds of actually catching something.

BTW, BOE, the shaking just gets worse and the fever goes up after you hook one them, based on my own recent experience. If I were you, I'd go back to the shop for another month or two.

Steve,

I can't even get to work on time!!! Here it is 1:30 and I just made it to the office...
okay you'd think I spent the morning on the river right, NOT! Started the day with good intentions, after picking up my morning coffee I thought I'd check out Meldrum Bar and enjoy the morning, nothing there (just watching) so on to work? Nope let's drive-up the Clack and see what's going on. Up to Carver (just watching) fish-on for a Willie boat at the wall (trout=steelhead) Okay time to go to work? Nope go to the Coffee hole and visit a new fishing friend and throw a couple casts off his dock, bobber and jig.....nothing. So here I sit infront of my computer reading about fishing! Didn't take the day off to fish because I'm to busy? man that made sense

Man I should just get in the boat and waste my time there!

Still trying to find that place in Pacific City! Maybe I'll waste a few more hours on the computer looking for Real Estate? Wouldn't want to get to much done at the office you know!

[fish_on]

Has anyone heard any reports our of Cathlamet, or Pilar rocks?

[fishbait]

C&E,
do gators really count? Asa matter of fact I am in the Sturgeon Derby this Saturday. Team Saltwater Cowboy.......... but man o man, cant wait for that first piece of fresh springer to come off the barby.....

[Lunker]

You guys are getting my adrenalin going with all this springer pitch. Has anyone looked at the fish count over the dam?

[fishbait]

Oh, and another thing.......... Ya know, I feel sorry for people that can only think of one or two ways to spell a word. :grin: I know I can't speel, never could..... but I can catch salmon......... Heck sometimes I can't even get close enough for the spell checker to work, must own a dozen dictionaries. Any body feel sorry for me.... [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img] Yah right

[WaterDog]

Steve, good thing you don't work numbers like the way you spell! :tongue:

Come on springer's, climb that ladder!

[The Fishing Geek]

I've heard rumors...*whistling*...

[CATCH AND EAT]

Lunker, usually the fish counts from Bonniville do not begin until mid-March.

Steve I am with ya. BBQ springer!!!! Yum yum. Now would you serve that with potatoes or potatos? :whazzup:

[fishbait]

ya ya ya, I would serve it with taters......... and some grilled peppers (red, yellow & Green) and some onions.


Go ahead , take your shots....... I got thick skin. Well see who is trotting around in the tall grass with the big dogs when late June gets here and we do a tally of big bright springers landed.......... OR we could just count those over 30 lbs........ spell that will ya 3 0 thirdy pounds............

[fishbait]

The springers are comming, the springers are comming............ Some are even here

I don't know about everybody else, but I'm getting antsey..... Haven't fished since Mid November, just been working. Haven't even been in the drift boat I bought half of, although Fishin Magician has been wearing it out from what I hear.

My ducks are getting lined up, pouring lead next week, whashing my quickies and counting my jars of eggs..... Soon, very soon..... Some Ifish members, wont say who so I don't get accused of picking on Pete have even been catching a few.

Anybody else that is not a big steelhead (wont say slimerocket) fisherman getting as antsey as I am?

[ANDYCOHO]

The fever just now hit you?

There are definately some fish allready here, just got off the phone with a friend that just released a 20# Native on the Columbia, I may have to go give him some company tomorrow!

Good luck,
Andy
