I have spent way too much time exploring the mud in Willapa Bay. Every late summer you will find me salmon fishing off of wash-a-way beach. We follow the salmon up the Willapa river. Launching at Smith Creek can be a lesson in navigation as the limbs and poles that mark the channel seem to come...

Joe, It all depends on the weather and tides as to where I bottom fish. If The conditions are good I like to drift over the sunken jetty using jigs. If I have to run north to the rock piles I usually end up off of Pacific beach. The sunken jetty holds lings, sea bass and the rest of the tasty...

Byrdman, great to know you are alive and kicking! When you get out west again have Taterman give me a call and I'll buy the two of you lunch.

Susan, Cathy and I will be happy to go to dinner with the group.

Cathy and I are in! Reservations made. We will most likely be stopping at the Sportsman show on the way up Friday. See you all there.

I too have used Dave Smith, three times. The savings are great. On all three trucks and jeeps the savings over the Olympia and Centralia dealerships has been over $5000 per rig. That's a pretty good days savings for me. I use the internet sales, they call me with a price and I buy it.

Wash a way beach out of Tokeland is heating up nicely. We boated eight silvers in 3 hours. It should continue through August.

Bill, Thank you for posting this! It's a great read even for someone who has spent their entire life in the pacific northwest. It explains so much.

Westport will be where I hang out every day that I can until late August when I start fishing for PIG silvers at Wash a Way beach at Tokeland.

Roger, If time allows I would love to learn more about our stove. It has never let me down and it came with the boat in 2006. Oldgrowth Dave and I repaired several stoves at a Bellingham get together several years ago. All but one were simple repairs.

John! Say it ain't so. What a suprise. Someone will get a great boat that has had great care. Good luck on the sale.

Ten foot wide would be a minimum for me. I have 12'x12' doors on our "toy storage". If you have space and resources enough, make sure the building is big enough to have room to walk around the stored toys. I built my shop 40'x64' with four 12'x12' doors. Sometimes I wish it were bigger.

Cathy and I are sad we will miss the gathering again this year. I will be in Alabama for the next 10 days and have had this trip planned for over a year.

Pat, That's awesome! Cathy and I will be there!

Pat and Roger on a road trip together! This sounds like it could be a sequel to "Animal House".

Roger, Glad to hear you made it to my playground. We have had easy picking on the coho all year. Early in the year it was those darned Kings that kept us busy. The last few weeks we have been fishing at Wash away beach out of Tokeland. You are allowed 3 silvers a day and wild ones are good to...

Happy Birthday Robbi from the crew of the C-YA!

In my misspent younger years I worked raising salmon for 10 years. Not so sure it's so great for fish but might be one hell of a way to get kids to school without all the buses. Just aim and launch.

Happy Birthday Jim! It seems you have one about this time every year. Weird.

Sounds like fun! Sequim has been one of our favorite gatherings and the first one we attended in 2006.
