thats pretty much what they look like. quick disclaimer: not my pics, just did a couple pics i have used as reference.

the one by the rock across from the tree. there was water inbetween.

Yeah, its an Okuma SST, it's actually the float drifting model, but whatever, it works for spinners too. I was using 12 lb UG main line tied directly on.

Hey everyone, I haven't posted a ton lately (or at all) because I have been waiting to share good news. I landed a 33 inch (guessing somewhere around 22-26 lbs) hatchery springer today with a #4 purple Blue Fox spinner. It was a long fight as the fish kept getting into faster current. I landed...

Plus the bait caster is more fun. Makes a cool sound, retrieves quick, I have 2 Abu's, one 5501 and one 6501, best reels I've had.

If you find a black/brass blade #3 blue fox in there its mine. Pretty sure I got snagged on that thing a couple times.

Decided to try trolling last night. Made a few passes between meldrum and the mouth with no luck. didn't see any fish landed, talked to a few people who say they havent seen any coho caught yet. Saw a lot of people at clackamette/ dahl, dont know how they did. I know they are in there, just a...

Wiggle warts.

Here2Fish- I'm a PSU student too, but also working in a high school so i am already in the swing of school. If you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to go out in the evening sometime next week after the rain passes, i am more than willing. my boat is moored under the sellwood, so it would...

I've been getting ready for the goin' on the willy too. got a few wiggle warts, a few smaller wobblers ready to go....this will be my first season trolling on the willy tho, so i might be asking (in a week or so) if anyone wants to go out there with me and show me the ropes. i'll also probly...

Not offended. Just wanted to make sure we were using the accurate term. I like "statistically challenged".

I know odfw is pretty lame. I think we can all agree on that. But can we just clean up the "retarded" talk? I'm not trying to ruffle feathers or anything, it's just that I teach high school special education. And really, the kids I reach are amazing, and I bet if the school would allow me I...

Just got back from Coos Bay after two days on the water. Trip didn't go as planned. Was told I would be able to go out on a boat both days so we would have a great shot at getting into some fish. But no boat. Then I went upriver with the brother in law, he said he knew a great spot where tons of...

Pretty excited, I'm gonna be out in the bay area early seeing what I can get into. Then gonna head upriver a little. Will be sure to let everyone know how it goes.

Headed down to Coos Bay for a few days. Wondering if anyone has experience trying for the fall Nooks in the Coos Bay or Coos River. Supposedly is getting somewhat hot right now, and the Coho are starting to make their first appearance. Anyone with a good bank spot or tips, please please share...
