Ok, so I don't see any posts about how the guys on the floatilla did. I take it no one had much luck. I know I should have stayed in bed or done my honey-do list. Drove all the way to the guide shop and then my ride doesn't show up. So I have an idea! I'll drive back to Portland and pick up my boat and hit the Clack. Get back, rig up the boat, drive down to the Clack, and the motor won't start. Not a good day of not fishing. Lets hope I've paid my dues for the year.
On a good note. I met Empty net (Troy went through this whole thing w/ me since we were carpooling). Really good guy who I will for sure be fishing w/ again. He did say that he wanted to use his boat next time.
Then that night I cleaned up in poker. Took money from all my neighbors. That never happens. Usually I'm the one going home broke.
So Tues the boat goes in to see what is wrong.
So how did everyone else do?

[glow=red,2,300]Captain Jaeger............................[/glow] Took the best of people out of the competition and the rest of us went for a nice boat ride. We waited for an Hour for RT and gave up on him and then made the drift. I wish i got up early enough to read his post. We did talk about a make up trip though. Dan got a hen. We seen a couple of others caught but that was it. Thanks for showing us down the upper part. That was pretty tricky up there. It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with Salmon Lips. We thru eveything we had at them. Everything except the dupont spinners. Marv got a bump and I got nothing for the hole day. It was still a good day fishing though. Nice meeting Gas Jockey and emptynet out there at the guide shop. Sorry to hear about your ride. Phone calls or emails with reasonable notice would have been nice so that you wouldn't have made the trip for nothing. Smily

So you guys think that was hell? There's 4 guys who can tell you where hell really was on Saturday morning!!! I called Andy and Marv to apologize (first time in 20 years I've missed a fishing trip for that reason), and I'm going to take them on a make up trip in my boat. I'm thinking because of the confusion heading into this thing along with the organizer having to bail the night before, some of the other guys that didn't show may have assumed it wasn't gonna happen?

Yes, there was only one fish caught by all who played. Does that mean I win? ;D Smiley Salmon lips Bob n jig fishin Carl Tilla Fishalot Emptynet gas jockey Thanks for coming. I to believe that this whole thing was confusing at the end and that caused some problems with people showing up. Next time will be better. On a separate note. The new board is in the works, boy you guys are going to love it. That's why I haven't been here posting much. I hope to be done with it by the first of the month.

Sorry to hear that you guys didn't do so well fishing, would you like to know where the hot spot was on Saturday? ok, I'll tell Middleman got one with Aaron, imx1021 got one with "someone", who hooked two and landed one hatchery fish and every boat they talked to had at least one. One boat with two people tagged out. Ok, do you want to know what river now? And by the looks of my road it was the hot spot again today. There must have been 20 boat trailers just down from my house this morning.

AJS777 and Myself ended up going ahead and heading to the Nestucca. I just did not feel safe in floating the Wilson with the possibilities of all the boats over there and this was my second time on the sticks.
Had a good day out. Hooked into a nice hen and then tried to get Aaron into one. It seemed that at least 1 fish per boat from all that we talked with.
I can honestly say that each time down that river I have hooked up at least one time.
I hope everyone that made the float had a great time. I am still looking forward to fishing with everyone eventually.

Rt, you are way off But since middleman gave out the seceret spot I guess I will tell the rest of you . The Nestucca was hot and has been hot. Yesterday was an even better day. I talked to several fishermen that came through the station and they all did good.

Ok, Don't get used to me giving fishing reports for the Nestucca. I was only trying to make a point. The Wilson is not the only river in Tillamook county that has fish in it.
