Went to Laverne Park Thurs. Got skunked, but it was a good learning experience. One Guy did bring in a pig though. About 36inch and around 16 lbs. It was a nice fish. He fought the sucker for about 30 min. On another note, I have to say I haven't been in Or. long, but you guys are much more open about where to go what to use ect. Just wanted to say I respect your guys knowledge and overall attitude towards fishing. CA is so much different, You can't hardly get a tip out of anyone.
For example: I approached a guy out there at the park on thurs. Askin him if he'd take a look at my set up and tell me if I'm waistin' my time or if it looks alright. He proceeded to give me a few things out of his collection and invited me to fish with his dad and brother and refused to take payment for his offerings. Just makes for a nice time out on the river, when you're fishin' with good dudes.
