There was a spinner involved. :mrgreen: Ditch the fish flasher and use a green tipped rainbow spinner instead. Lyle caught his using 1 rainbow spinner 5 ft. ahead of his herring. Today I was using a rainbow spinner followed by 2 ft. leader, then another bead swivel and brass bladed...

Ya'll went home to early! I caught the biggest springer of my life this morning. 30 lbs as weighed in by the Elochoman Marina.

My biggest springer yet, 30 lbs on 4/5/05

Of course, :wink we don't call him the fish whisperer for nothing.

A very special thank you to Art Lindsay for providing us with the assortment of wonderful Stone Wolf wines. Delicious indeed!

A big thank you to all that attended Cathlamet 05! It was a great time. 11 Boats were there, I couldn't get a count on all the boats represented. Lyle managed to save our towns fishing reputation by pulling out this 15 lb'er this morning.

Sorry to hear you's can't make it. Tyboo, CAVU, Mar-T and Lyle T. are here. We're looking forward to a fun weekend. The weather was great this evening, warm and no wind. We just got back from having dinner at the River View Resturant.

Mar-T's Mike No pics. I don't know what they did with the Boulton. See ya tomorrow. Tyboo Mike You've already reserved a seat onboard the Helen O for this weekends fish. :mrgreen: Fishing gear is supplied. The dock has 110v and 30 amp outlets. I think they have spare plugs in...

I just got back from the harbor, talked with Jackie (Harbormaster). Our case of Stone Wolf wine has arrived and is resting comfortably. :cocktail Some guy launched his $65k Boulton sled and forgot to put in the drain plug. It sank in the harbor. :shock:

Tim The ferry is in normal operation. It departs Westport 15 minutes after the hour and departs Puget Island on the hour, 5 am to 10 pm daily. Dan If you've fished bouy 10 you're a battle hardened veteran. This will be a piece of cake. :thup

Dan The current in this area typically runs about 4 mph at peak. Not like the swifter upstream Bonniville currents or even the tides I've seen on puget sound. I refuse to go near a hogline, there's no need to. Many kwikfishers anchor in a staggered formation so that there is no need to...

Many of you remember Art Lindsay the owner/president of Stone Wolf vineyards. He and Chuckpacific attended the impromptu Warrenton gathering last fall when El & Bill completed their Columbia River cruise. Art brought a mixed case of his delicious Stone Wolf wines for our enjoyment. And enjoy...

Lyle We dropped the first line it at 7:00 am, first fish on at 7:15 weighed 8 lbs. Second fish at 8:50, weighed 12 lbs. Back to the dock at noon. The forecast 20 -30 mph winds were only about 10 - 15 mph winds. See ya soon.

Mar-T's Mike had a nice morning.

CAVU Ken No need for downriggers here. It's to shallow with uneven bottom. Generally we're fishing 7 to 20 ft of water, dragging the cannonball right on the bottom. Only 1 week to go!

I blundered into a 13 lb'er this morning. Other boats seemed to be catching more fish too.

Good point, Ken. And more importantly, take care not to feed your hand to the sea lion. :shock:

Dan The season is quota driven. You won't find it in the regs. They will shut down the season when the quota is met. Treble hooks? Yes, they're legal here. Barbed hooks? Yes, they're also legal here. New rule is that you cannot bring a native (non finclipped) fish onboard. You...

:mrgreen: See you real soon, Mike. The easter bunny doesn't do much for me. But an easter hog.... that's a different story!
