I think they need a floating espresso bar that works the salt.. (could potentially work on the major rivers too-espresso driftboat maybe?) Just think of the possibilities, working all the derbys, all those short openers, Lake Washington sockeye season. Man am I on to something! Someone could get rich with this one. I'm just way too lazy, and would really like it if someone floated up and made me a triple mocha while I was fishing.... Man would that be something. thumbs Feel free to steal the idea, just give me a discount out on the water.

I had it but I rolled it under the Bogachiel Bridge on the first float.

Not to belittle yer idea but I've been sayin that fer years. Along with bait and munchies, like sandwiches etc. I bet it wouls work, spectacularly so if the PS enhancement program ever worked as advertised.

Sincerely,
Roger

We've long thought about doing that on the Kenai ... sometimes 700+ boats on the water every day smile Call your order in by cell phone and we'll track you down!

I've thought that a lunch wagon type affair with espresso, the best local gear sandwichs etc. would work really well at a place like Blue Ck., the Barrier etc.

There used to be a floating "snack bar" out of Point Defiance when I was a kid. I think they had a gas leak and nearly died.. a guy I know noticed them running in circles and came along side. He boarded and pulled them all outside the cabin saving thier lives.. I think he got a letter from the president (carter maybe??) Anyway, The Sekiu fishery would be a money maker.... cold mornings, tons of people.... stay upwind and start pouring shots!! $$$$$$$ hello

I remember that guy at Pt Defiance. I do believe the final blow came from the Gov't. I guess he didn't have a license of any sort. Was pretty much shut down that way. I had heard about some sort of boat fiasco, but that wasn't final blow I recall. But not sure.

Yeah, I thought about that myself. Stop off and buy some krispy kremes (which the Tacoma store will be open in acouple months), have onboard grill, and cooler with drinks. Would make a fortune. Only one big problem. You'd have to have a business license for EVERY city you fish from. Not just county, but business. You can try to get away with not having one, but get nailed w/o one, and you're SOL.
