Just don't get to close the carrier group on the Seattle Waterfront. There are gun boats patrolling and they will chase you off if you get to close. _________________________ Carl C.

Looked at the USCG website and 100 yards from ships is a red, shoot first zone and 500 yards from ships is a warning zone. Supposedly the Navy and USCG will be warning boaters off. Easy, when I was out with you we did not go near where they will be moored did we? I don't seem to recall this. I will be looking for posts on how the fishing was....will determine whether I attempt to go out in my new boat this weekend or wait until next. _________________________ I work to support a fishing habbit.

sushi Smolt Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 96 Loc: seattle	i suppose if they were to chase everyone within 500 yards off the ferry terminals, the stadiums heck a solid chunk of the pioneer sq/ 99 viaduct would be in trouble. that aircraft carrier is right there, it's pretty amazing to see. i work in a restaraunt on the waterfront and can't help starring down that way all day long. on to fishing, anyone out there yet?

Busy Returning Adult Registered: 07/18/02 Posts: 275 Loc: Bellevue	Mike, installing the fish finder today. Rod holders too. Downriggers may have to come a little later ( next week) as I do not have them yet....but they will be installed. Gonna take it out on Lake W this aftenoon to see how it runs. Can't wait... _________________________ I work to support a fishing habbit.

Mike C Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 1373 Loc: Redmond	Maybe you should go to lake Samm and avoid the SeaFiar insanity. You can open your boat up and enjoy with less worry about the drunk boat drivers (at least not as many on lake Samm). _________________________ Mike, Editor www.washingtonlakes.com "Featuring readers lake and saltwater reports."
