That was not a payed endorsement.. But if anyone from Mel's is on this forum, I'll take and use that sparkling 20' Ranger (the one with the 250hp Merc) to put out the good word.... P.S. I am very active in local tournaments. I'll get your name out there.. P.P.S. I INTEND to be active in local...

And before anyone thinks that I'm trying to bash Mel's Marine... There are countless local (Salem) dealerships that I could have bought a used boat from.. I did my due diligence and Mel's Marine is THE PLACE to buy a boat from.. Used or new (they have GANGSTER new boats). The new boats were...

This might not be an option for most.. But I went to the Marine Board office (downtown Salem) and was in and out in 10 minutes. I payed what I had to pay for the "Skeeter Eater"(my bass boat), and was on my way. Even though the dealership that I bought my boat from was dragging their feet (9...

I used to "bonk n' bank" these fish. Someone I used to fish with, who I now can only describe as "inexperienced", convinced me that they're an invasive species... Good for nothing but racoon food. He told me that all they do is feed on salmon and trout smolts. Decimating the numbers of the...

I have a few other spots that I fish for sturgeon. Thanks for the info guys. But before this turns in to a full blown hijacking... Let's get back to cdumitru78's question. Happy Fishing, Kyle

Come to think of it, I have a question about that area as well. I have an 18 foot Skeeter bass boat which, like all bass boats, sits incredibly low in the water. Is there anywhere in "retention territory" that I can bring my boat without getting swamped? I've ventured on to the Columbia around...

Weird.. I copied a link that had info about Bonneville. Not just the Willamette. When I clicked on the link to verify everything worked, nothing about Bonneville... Oh well..

+1^.... I just hope you won't have to shoot it at some point to put it out of it's misery....

The suspense is killing me! You are a born showman, pinstriper.... I'm on the edge of my seat.

My current boat is about to be christened the "Whiskey & Water".. Either that or another name that I'm playing pretty close to the vest....

I'm sure including the word "submarine" in the name of your boat will tempt one God or another. Kind of saying "try it.. I dare ya."... But I digress... I had a rather generic name picked out for my last boat. Never got around to getting the vinyl made or making the speech to Neptune... What do...

Thanks playhooky.. That's exactly the information I was looking for.. Charlie... If you see a bass boat with one annoyed adult and 3 cackling teenage girls, please come save me with at least a few minutes of civilized conversation... Kyle

I'm in an aluminum boat as well... An 18' Skeeter bass boat.. I drive to Bend from Salem fairly frequently for work. The last time I drove past Detroit, I remember thinking "oh, [screw] that..".. But I've also heard, from a consistently unreliable source, that they're going to back up the lower...

I'm in the exact same boat.. I'm taking my daughter and her friend out for their first ride in my new boat on Saturday.. Her and her friend will do more swimming than fishing, I'm sure. But never the less, they're dead set on me taking them to my "secret spot", as they put it (Kinney Creek)...
