You are a wise man. I had a chance to walk away but after I said, "You don't own the bank", he went into a rage. My big mouth seems to get me into trouble. At this time, the sloping bank was wet, and slipery with cobble rocks, so I couldn't back up. He could have stabbed me if my quick hands...
We are not talking about being aggressive with a fire arm but to simply ward off an attack by a raging human or animal. Yes, it's a sad reality that you may face some day especially if there is no where to retreat. This is the first in 66 years for me.
I do like the idea of going to the fish...
Wow, never had plans to point guns at people.
If I would have stood my ground and bit my tongue, then things may have turned out different........I don't like to run off like a dog with it's tail.... blah blah ............when people rudly talk and yell, this sets me off..............I kept...
Fishfinger, are you saying that during hunting or fishing one can carry a concealed weapon without the concealed permit?
A weapon would never be pulled out unless my life was in immediate danger and the first shot would be a warning, and second shot in the knee. This fellow wanted to pull a...
Maybe this will provide some insight into this matter. On Wednesday, I went up the Cxxx River to the mouth of this creek. This thirty foot long narrow river bank is prime salmon fishing certain weeks in early Fall. A three hour window is when they bite and suddenly stop feeding.
Well this...
I'll see if I can find some at the fish market.
I tried bobber and eggs for about an hour and I think it needs more time but these other choices might provide hope. Try each bait on bobber and eggs.
I rigged up the big long and black bobber that uses a 3 ounce weight and ran the bobber stop...
It was really good during the first part of September but it has cooled off. Fish are showing but seem to be sitting in warm water not wanting to bite. Any ideas to get these fish to bite if the water is too warm for them?
We live along the Coos River Esturary, and I can tell you the kings are stacked in areas of deep water with in a mile of two either way of the Mill Casino. But.................they won't bite, and I've tried lots of methods. They just sit there from 20' to 40' deep in certain spots which fish...
Where is the best salmon fishing along the Oregon Coast bays or rivers now and in a few weeks?
I can tell you the Coos River isn't it since we live here.
Went fishing off Horsefall Beach north of Coos Bay and the bite was really slow. 4 of us were fishing and one fellow had 4, and I only had two. The surf was up and the fish were way out and I needed my big pole to cast that far. Going to try again tomorrow. One hole is right off the parking lot...
Good to hear from you fellas. Getting one was pretty good considering the weather and ocean Bythesea. I was ready to go in and did the one more cast, a prayer, and wam. Then my reel fell apart!. Couldn't believe the fish were actually concentrated in a rough area where the swells began to break...
Went fishing north of Coos Bay to my favorite spot and fished hard to locate perch. The beach had no sand crabs for bait. The current was ripping my 3 ounce sinker south parallel to the beach and followed it for about 100 yds and finally stopped in a pocket. Had some hits, and finally hooked a...
This fish were caught last Spring in April or May. Every day wan't like that and usually have to hunt for the school.
I haven't been out this year yet. Where are you located?
