As soon as my 18month old daughter finishes up with presents and we fill our bellies, I will be on the river..

I have cleared it with "The boss- my honey" to fish New Years day in the morning. Start the New Year with some fish! I'll give a holler to T'08 and others to get this on.

I dont know If Ill get back to the cowlitz this year. But my dad and some family are going down there for a week just not sure what days yet. Will be in january that I know. I will be down for a 24 hour period or so. Might even get into a drift boat for a lil bit if my cousin brings his down.

Jens, where you going on NY Day? I thought about going somewhere myself. Gotta try my new XMas present - Daiwa bait caster and Lamiglass rod.

One more week of being on the disabled list.Then its on the river. I have caught more steel using a pink Corky with pink and orange yarn then on any other lure made.I like the Pearlescent pink.Still its hard to beat the orange and green set up .When I get to my hole I start by casting a weight only to get a feel for the bottom then tie up.Good luck and happy holidays to all.

:cyclopsan :cyclopsan Had zero fish in 3 hours xmas morning- went 0/1 today. This time, my faulty egg loop knot disaster strikes again. The fish broke the knot right above the eye of the hook.

Donman, probably somewhere local, I'll email you when I get details.

Let's just say there was no doubt about the hit. The first fish snapped my 8lb leader. Switched to 12lb. Next cast, bam! I said many prayers fighting this fish. I don't know if I really enjoyed the fight, I was so worried about it breaking me off. I took my time fighting him. Pretty happy guy I am today!! and relieved...

Curado... From the pic of your dads fish, to me it looks like he was using an aero jig drifter... Is that what he was using?
