umrules Spawner Registered: 12/28/99 Posts: 610 Loc: wa., usa	Made a long one day trip down to the longview area with Dangerous Dave on Saturday for a shot at a Springer. Got a nice bright 15lber trolling the outgoing tide about 7:20am, had high hopes that it was going to be a good day, but that wound up being it. One of our other friends picked up a nice 18lber on the first troll of the morning (about 6:20am). Both fish were caught on whole herring in herring hoods. The wind started picking up about noon, so we headed off the river about 12:30. Not a great day but there will be fresh Springer on the grill tonight _________________________ M Go Blue!

GutZ The Original Boat Ho Registered: 02/08/00 Posts: 2917 Loc: Bellevue	Sand Island was dead. We saw two fish in the morning Sunday and 3 in the afternoon. Of the three in the afternoon, one was an unassisted Sea Lion. I didn't know that those fat bass turds could catch a fish on there own! Of the others, they were both Anchored. One was taken by a FBSL who actually came clear out of the water during the breif battle. That had to be a rush! Nonetheless, it was a truly specatacular day! _________________________ It's good to have friends It's better to have friends with boats *GutZ*
