You guys are great, I sure appreciate this!

Larry H Did you pass through Porlier Pass to get to Silva, or another route?

Hey thanks Larry. I was busy typing my above post while you were posting yours. That is exactly the info I wanted.

Okay, here is my rough plan. Put in at Swantown, motor up to Gig Harbor. Gotta be careful going through Tacoma Narrows, can be rough. Should be traversed at slack or incoming tide. Spend the afternoon and evening wandering around the town of Gig Harbor. Day 2. Motor up Colvos Passage...

We have relatives that live 1 block from the False River Harbor in Vancouver, BC. Either this year or next, Helen and I want to journey there in the boat. I'm trying to figure out if going from Swantown to Vancouver is doable in 2 weeks. And of course, which route I should take. And...

Thank you Robbi & Larry. This is a wealth of information to someone planning an extended cruise in unfamiliar water. Tyboo Mike & Bill: We have a topic of "Cruises and Gatherings". It contains information almost exclusively on Gatherings. What do you think of the idea of splitting it into...

How long should it take to make a run from Gig to Cornet if I were to cruise at about 15 mph? (Saratoga Passage) I'm looking for alternatives to driving the bumpy stretch of I-5. Was thinking it might be fun to put in at Swantown in Olympia, spend the first night at Gig Harbor then head...

How bout directly after the Blakely gathering?

Well said, DeW. Welcome to the group.

Yah Ken, Mike, Bill and Red Fox are obviously evil and should be banned from all websites. Your arrogance never ceases to amaze me.

Grand Poobah = fearless leader Getting poobed is the act of being corrected, deleted,banned or edited by our keyboard heroes Mike & Bill. :mrgreen: If you ever watched the Flintstones, you know what the Grand Poobah is.

Jim There are two most popular methods of catching springers in this area. 1. Trolling herring in the Clifton Channel. Clifton Channel fishing is an area approx. 1 mile long and 1/4 mile across. The depth runs from 7 to 18 ft. depending on tide and location. I troll a herring on 6 ft. of...

Welcome Jeff & Diane. :thup I've yet to catch a steelhead in the Columbia

I'd like someone to correct me if I'm wrong, but my thoughts are... With twin motors both motors are offset on the stern. This works great when both motors are running, Because they are offset, and when only one motor is running, the motor is pushing at an angle to the stern causing a...

Come on down, Brock. We'll find and open seat for ya! :mrgreen:

Ken, you're a genius. :mrgreen:

Robbi You're also welcome to fish on Helen O. Lyle T., Fred (Anita Marie) and myself would feel honored. :mrgreen:

Roger There's more good news. Last years run was supposed to be huge, but only 2/3 of the predicted run showed up. They are predicting that some of that 1/3 of the run stayed out in the ocean an extra year. What that means is that we should have more 5 yr. old fish this year. Those will...

:mrgreen: I might believe that if I hadn't witnessed your boat limiting out on halibut..... or seeing that springer you had up to your boat at last years Cathlamet gathering. Glad to see you're going to make it Steve.
