OK I'm going again, Tomorrow is another day and I'm going to give it a try since they left the season open and I haven't filled my tag. Shoot, I haven't even hardly started to fill it so I gots to go. Same plan but different week-end and because this one is longer I either have a better chance...

I've kinda been following this thread and remember hearing some talk about Norma saying there were 30 some C-Dories signed up for slips but when I look at the sign-up sheet er thread I don't count that many. Are some folks taking two boats to this gig? If so maybe someone will lone the aft deck...

TyBoo and Byrdman, This sounds like more than just travel logistics to me. Not only do you have to get there but once there you need a place to stay. Not any rooms available as I recall so a spare bunk, or should I say berth, is also needed once one arrives on the island unless the party of the...

Byrdman, Sure hope you know your going to Blakely Island which except for the marina is all private property. Access to this place is very limited and if you don't own a house there you can't even get off the marina's grounds. Accommodations are limited to your boat at the marina unless you...

Spent seven hours on the river and I still have bait for tomorrow. Only one short shaker for us but boats below did catch fish using Anchovies, I only had smelt. Got back to the dock and found Greg, the guy from Portland with the old Laurna Joe. He came back for another try at sturgeon but this...

Friday night and Judy and I are getting ready to hit the river in the morning. We should be up there between 5:00 and 5:30 to head out for another attempt at trying to get our years sturgeon catch caught up to that of the TyBoo. Alas I fear I don't have a chance of doing that cause we don't have...

Mike already said most of the good stuff about the day and the week-end and yes, I am taking the morning off to go chace another sturgeon. I can't believe that so many of these great folks are still hanging out here to spend just one more day anchored up to catch some of these fine fish. The...

Pat, Keep that thought about sturgeon. There are other week-ends and I'm sure Mike and I will be around giving it a try on most all of them till they close the season. Last year that was just before the 4th of July week-end. I was feeling sorry for you but since you're hanging out with all...

Work Release Jim, I have some extra gear available and will have it along. It's not fancy but as Mike says, it came from Englund Marine. They sell both a one piece and two piece rod with ball bearing reel and loaded with line for about $70. This is a no nonsense rig that a lot of the charter...

Hi Greg, Always room for one more, after all it is a C-Brat gathering. See you Saturday. If you get to the dock or ramp and can't find any of us it is likely that we are out on the river. You can just call us on Channel 11 and we'll tell you how to catch up with us or where we are anchored up...

This is getting better by the day. A real Warrenton gathering. We got seven boats coming and six signed up. Kind of reminds me of when Bill and Ell showed up and everyone from all over the place showed up. The north Oregon folks will be waiting to welcome one and all and we'll be more than...

Glad to hear we still have interest in our little corner of the world and that the Fest is still on. I'll be up at the marina early on to meet and greet those showing up in the early PM. I also have plenty of extra gear so don't anyone go out and buy a lot of hooks and such although if you've...

Hey Mike, Didn't bring anything back but still had a great time and AND with my own keys. All are our action was with that one good flurry that involved the big rascal that just kept going towards the dolphin. When I finally put on the brakes was when he straightened out my hook. After we got...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and to that I would add so is a question. So I know the truck is new and must be from this season so that also means that the fish on the back bed are also this years. Mike, good going and it's great to see so many fish on one truck but my question...

Mike, That's a bum deal and especially after putting up with all that wind. Judy and I were up at the boat about 3:300 but just enjoyed the back deck for awhile then headed for home. If you think about it long enough you begin to realize that along with a good chunk of rope you also lost 20%...

Hey Ken, We'll look forward to seeing you on the other side of the traps, crab traps that is. My best deck hand will be with me in the morning and our plan is to fish until about 11:00 A.M. and then head for the nursery to pick up plantings for our deck pots. I may or may not be back again on...

Not sure I'll make it to the marina tonight but we'll be there in the morning to try our luck at them willy sturgeon. Saturday should be a good day on the water but Sunday may be a bit iffy so I won't wait. There's been plenty of room so far so B~C and Helen-O you better motor on down and give...

Thanks Mike, I do appreciate you keeping an eye on things for me. Don't worry about water to try your key, just hop aboard and give it a go. If it works let me know then I'll know mine works in yours too and I'll have a new supply of hot fish lures. Glad to hear you had a good bite last night...

The sturgeon gods were smiling brightly on the Lynn Marie today for our first trip of the newly opened season. Left the dock this morning about 6:00AM with my fishing friend Cleve and got our lines wet about a half hour later. Some of that good old smelt with a little smelly juice dribbled over...

Went up to the marina today and changed out the batteries, they were almost four years old and of a deep cycle only type so time to go, Every thing looks good for a go for the Lynn Marie on Saturday so we'll leave here about 5:00 and be heading out by 6:00 after picking up some fresh bait at...
