Smily's shuttin\' down the river again (Rivised)

Went out to the MC Mouth at the Willamette and only seen 2 fish caught. I seem to get on that river and shut it down. I must have countless days springer fishing and nothing to show for it. Does anyone any pity left for me? :whazzup: Does any one know of a guaranteed fish and method know for the Fishing impaired? :hoboy:

Don't get me wrong, I love fishing. It would be nice to catch one once in a while.

Andy you haven't been on the Sandy lately have you? That might explain the shutdown in the bite :wink:

Marty,
I haven't been on that river for a while. It had a very slow Steelhead season for me there too and I was waiting till more springers show up till I hit that river again. I thought now is the time.

Not anymore, from where I sat today! Let's see that beauty Smily!

You and Lipripper can get offa' my river now. :laugh:

Lost one at the boat after you left. Handed my rod off to someone else who is still "Springerless." :depressed:

Nada' after that.

Good going you guys. :grin:

Okay,
Here we were trolling all morning long. Lipriper finally got into a nice native that we released unharmed. Next thing we see is this crusty old barnical that we thought might lead us into fish.
See Crusty old Barnical: :grin:

We started to get hungry so we thought we would anchor up and fish on anchor for a while and eat some lunch. Not 10 minutes go by and my rod folds down. I'm finally into a fish. Yippee, Hooray!! :dance: A nice fighting 16 lb buck. Of course my daughter has to help me bring him in. so here is the Prize.

It was a nice to meet you out there Nanook. Thanks for showing us where the fish are. :wink: Glad you guys got to brawl one too, too bad you lost it.

:smile: Smily :smile:

It feels great to get the stink off. :dance:

Re: Smily's shuttin\' down the river again (Rivised)

WAHOO!!! You were way over due Andy. Now that you got your first one the next dozen or so will come easy. And a big thank you goes out to Nanook for showing us where the fish were.

Way to go Andy. Cute little girl too. :smile: The fish ain't bad either.

Just curious though, did Pat let ya back the boat in again?????? :shrug: :shocked: :wink:

Did you use the Preacher Juice? It's working for me right now.

Rick, glad you got to brawl some in your boat too. Spinners?

Congratulations, glad you hooked up.

Hey Smiley, congratulations!

From the looks of that picture, you better shut that cooler before the next hard take-down snaps that center pole! :wink:

C&E, Yep the preacher gave his sermon and the fish was quite attentive and bit the dang thing!! :shocked: The rest is history.

Nanook, You know Lipriper ran inside to fetch another secret weapon on them fish when she was talking, I heard her out and My little girl would have gotten the next fish if her or my rod went down. She has gotten into them before but after 3 or 4 cranks on the reel she says "I'm tired, You bring it in Daddy" We are working with her though. She still makes a fine fishin' partner. :cheers:
