| 1450.1 | Salmon Tournament | DECWET::SEVERNS | | Fri Jul 06 1990 13:21 | 9 |
| I have checked with Many local experts and it seems that a Salmon
tournent would be are best bet.
If intertested parties would reply to this note and give suggested
dates and areas we can get the ball rolling, bait cut, spinner spinning
Whatever.

| 1450.2 | A far long weekend? | SCARGO::HAGERTY | Jack Hagerty KI1X | Mon Jul 09 1990 14:39 | 12 |
| Yo -- Bandit. You paying attention? This is not that bad an idea.
Considering how long it takes to drive to Pulaski, NY - a plane ride to
the West aint that bad an idea. With all our stuff how many seats you
think we will need? "Sir, your seats are One and Two, Three and four.
Maybe you can go Air Freight with your stuff.
We dont need Goretex. Well not the cold weather Goretex. Dont neeed all
the wool fingerless gloves, thermax, polypros, boots. We COULD do it.
Hardest thing to paack would be rods and waders. OK -- Ill buy new pair
of Neoprenes out there. Think of all the new 'bum' bars. Ill bet its
where all the steelhead lures spawn. Bandit you there. you with me?
Its just a hobby.

| Yeah, but I'd probably have to get rid of (as the yuppies say) my
"significant other...". She already beefed when I told her I was going
to Scotland next year for golf. Maybe I should just disappear, show up
in 10 days and tell her (as The DiceMan would say) "I was havin' coffee
wit' da guys...".
At some point, the NorthWest is definitely in my future. Love those
cold "Oly's"!! I'd recommend some 5mm boot foot "Streamline" neoprenes
- the Cadillac of cold weather waders, as you know.
Hey, we could pack light, buy a ton of stuff out there - the
possibilities are limitless. Now, about Montana...

| 1450.4 | Sounds good.... | RIPPLE::CORBETTKE | KENNY CHINOOK | Tue Jul 10 1990 15:39 | 20 |
| I think it's a great idea.
I'm getting tired of hearing about those East Coast "minners" they
brag about.
Puget Sound is still within my reach now, but in mid August I'm
moving to Eugene to set up a marketing office there, so that trip
would take more planning. I know someone in Seattle who would love
to go, so if a date can be worked out, count us in.
BTW. There's also bottom fishing, crabbing, steelhead, etc. to
consider.

| 1450.5 | one from the west | DECWET::SEVERNS | | Tue Jul 10 1990 16:18 | 18 |
| Hello Ken
nice to here from someone on this end of the wire. The other response
was in my mail from Brett and he suggested a Salmon tournament so that
is what I am looking at. but the replies are few and far between so far
a total of 3 from the west and two from the east. If you have any
special place and date go ahead and post it. that way we have
something to work with.
Ken I myself am a BEGINNER trout fisherman who hates to fish alone so I
will go with whatever the majority wants.
in .4 you said you are going to be in Eugene. Are you moving or just
going for a couple of weeks?

| 1450.6 | Going to move.... | RIPPLE::CORBETTKE | KENNY CHINOOK | Tue Jul 10 1990 18:46 | 35 |
| Jerry,
I am moving. We are finally going to do some expansion in this
area. This is my home state, 40+ years, so I'm familiar enough
to have a good idea where the business might be. So, they've got
me down here to see what business we can spook up.
Obviously, the biggest concentration of fisherman should be around the
Seattle area, so the derby should be concentrated around that area. I have
towed my boat up to the Sound on occasion, but I would need some
notice to make that run now.
I've been fishing in the ocean now for a couple of weekends, but
the heavy salmon run hasn't started yet. Saturday I got caught
out in it when a Northwestern wind came up (this is not unusual
for this weather, this time of year, so I should have known better),
and had a rough time getting back inside. Lot of water over the
bow and the banging around jarred some electronics out of their
stays, broke the latches on the forward hatch, and the port-a-potty
came out of the cabin a slid across the deck - didn't spill a drop.
So, this weekend is repair time, but maybe I'll find time for a
Sunday trip.
Anyway, due to the geographies of the situation, I suggest you and
Brett work something out and I'll try to fit in. I would like to
meet all of you and I do enjoy fishing for salmon in the Sound.
My friend from up there is on the Boeing account (cakewalk), so
he has lots of free time.
Ken

| 1450.7 | Let's get this moving | DECWET::HELSEL | Legitimate sporting purpose | Wed Jul 11 1990 14:55 | 24 |
| As for the Easterners with the waders, you better bring long ones
because we'll likely be fishing in 200 feet of water. The year round
water temp is about 53 degrees if it helps you decide which waders to
bring.
I just caught my biggest salmon last week; 30 lbs. Bill Hilton topped
me though with a 37 lber. For the Lake O fishermen that think these
aren't big, they are if you have a commercial fishery to compete with.
I think we could scare up a few fisherman for this.....Gordon
Lewandowski, Mike Peterson, Bill Hilton, and some others in the
"Fishing the Northwest" note signed in and said they'd like to compete.
You might want to send all of these people mail. Then there are the
locals that don't have boats but would fish. My recomendation would be
to have the tourny before August while the kings are running. Then
anyone could go to Point No Point and rent a boat for a reasonable
price and have a good shot at mooching a big king. To pick a date, I'd
suggest looking at a tide chart and picking a day when there is a
morning (7-9 AM) high tide so everyone can fish the outgoing tide.
Ken, you've been threatening to show us how for a long time. I'm
looking forward to the opportunity to watch a pro!

| 1450.8 | lets nail down a date. | DECWET::SEVERNS | | Wed Jul 11 1990 18:01 | 13 |
| "Sounds" good to me Brett how does the saturday the the 28th of july
sound? That is my only free weekend for the month of July you can
almost call it August. If you could Brett could you nail down the tides
for me if you have a tide book handy. That way we can set the date now
and get on the way.
I still have not gotten any word from the state about what we can and
cannot do for a tourney. so maybe this one we should just classifie as
some "Dudes" out fishing who just happen to work for the same company
and if it goes over well we can get legal on the next one.
Jerry.

| 1450.9 | Tides | DECWET::HELSEL | Legitimate sporting purpose | Thu Jul 12 1990 13:37 | 11 |
| In my experience with the State of Washington I find that they don't
really give a hoot what you do as long as you have a punchcard and
stick to the limit. Based on the simple rules that we can post here,
we are just a few guys fishing who with an interest in catching bigger
fish than the other guys around. That will be tough to nail us on in
court! (assuming we were breaking a law which we're not)
The high tide on July 28th for the Seattle region is 10:46 AM. It's
not ideal, but it is a big black dot. Low tide is just after 3:00 AM.

| 1450.10 | 28th JULY | DECWET::SEVERNS | | Thu Jul 12 1990 13:58 | 24 |
| The date is set for the 28th July. right now there is no start time
and the weigh in will be at the Kingston marina.
so far these are the people from the west that can make it
helsel
severns
edry
peterson
faron
saslow maybe
baker maybe
ken
some of the people listed do not have boats. so if you will be there
let me now if you do or don't and if you have any room for those who
don't. I am looking for boat rental places in the area that will rent
for reasonable price and will post it later.
If our friends from the east Jack and Bandit will be able to make it
let use no.
jerry.
