The Umpqua Post :: Anglers catch a 115-lb. halibut

The Umpqua Post :: Anglers catch a 115-lb. halibut: "However, there have been a few surprises. The biggest, so far, occurred during a lingcod trip by several Winchester Bay anglers to Charleston where Rich Olson used a four ounce lead jighead and a plastic worm to dredge up a 60-inch halibut out of 130 feet of water.

According to Larry Scott, one of the anglers fishing out of Tom Roden’s boat, the lunker halibut weighed 115 pounds, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife formula for figuring a halibut’s rough weight based upon length."

AAP CLASS of 2008 GRADUATION .....

CASTING BREAD UPON THE WATER -- AAP GRADUATION OF THE CLASS OF 2008!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful time we had, yesterday afternoon, working with & ultimately Graduating 14 Aquatic Angler Program Boys & Girls at the Newport Middle School. As you may remember, this is our Fishing Club's 2^nd Year presenting this worthwhile ODFW Program designed to encourage young children to “Get out of Doors & Just Do It” -- as Responsible Anglers, away from their TV Games, etc.

Special Recognition needs to go to Brian Hudson as our Lead Instructor. He was joined, in presenting the 8 weekly AAP Sessions, by Wayne Hill, Butch Minich, Frank Stout, Barb Dudley, Wayde Dudley & Me.

At yesterdays Graduation Ceremonies we were joined by some very Special Guests: Ms. Darlene Sprecher representing the ODFW AA Program, Mrs. Bambie Henderson our Host Teacher, James Ray & Casey Deckard Local ODFW Biologists who work closely with us, Alan Canfield & Mac Andrews both of whom are qualified AAP Instructors (Mac was recognized for a Special Certificate he designed for this years AA Program). In addition, we were also joined by many of the student’s parents for this fun event.

It is of Special Note & was a Complete Surprise that, at the conclusion of the event, Darlene, James & Casey presented our Fishing Club with an ODFW Certificate of Appreciation for the Community Service Work we have been doing with the Aquatic Angler Program. Look for the Certificate, which will be displayed on the Fishing Club WALL, in our LVH Club House (and can be seen in the photo above).

What a Grand Day it was & I am always humbled to be associated with such fine people that give, so generously, of their Time & Treasure to invest in the wonderful young children who will inherit & have to carry the Sustainability Mantel of our Oregon Fisheries into the Future.

THANK YOU ALL FOR CASTING BREAD UPON THE WATER ………….

A REALLY TOUGH BALL GAME !!!

A REALLY TOUGH BALL GAME >> or << What’s up with Coach (aka Rod) Mc Cready !!!

 

Our Good Neighbor & Fishing Club Pal is having a rough time right now. Lee Anne tells me he is over in Corvallis at the Samaritan Hospital. It’s my sense that a Card or two would go a long way in letting him know we want him back in our lives Painting Houses & Doing Fishing Club Stuff.

 

So, what say you all consider sending THE COACH a fun Card or a Note, either to his home address or drop it off in their LVH Mail Box …… Lee Anne will be delighted to take our Fun Cards & Good Thoughts to The Coach when she goes over to visit with him >>>>>

 

Here’s the scoop >><< Home Address:   5945 Deer Lane, Newport OR 97365 …. or …. LVH Mail Box # 79

All,

I do not have anything to say about Saturday's event that has not already eloquently been said by John or Alan; however, I would like to add one thing from the perspective of myself and my colleagues in the ODFW Newport field office. Our intentions towards the communities in which we work and live are nothing if they are not sincerely good; however, without people like yourselves they would be nothing but good intentions as we simply do not have the capacity to achieve the types of things that were achieved on Saturday without being part of a team. I know I can speak for Casey when Isay that we both feel very privileged to be able to work with you all. We appreciate your support and enjoy supporting you.

Thank you.

James

REFLECTIONS ON THE KIDS FISHING DERBY -- ECKMAN LAKE -- 17 May 2008

This wonderful annual event, sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Waldport, went off without a HITCH!!! The only way that happens, is when a very fine bunch of very dedicated people come together TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

On Saturday, the 17th -- IT HAPPENED -- We had beautiful Weather and a lot of wonderful Children caught a bunch of fish and enjoyed all of the many family activities made available to them compliments of the good men and women of the Church, Central Coast Fly Fishers, ODFW, US Forest Service, Parks Service, various Local Merchants & the Longview Hills Fishing Club.

A lot of preliminary, behind the scenes, work goes into doing something like this so well. It is most appropriate that our CCFF Friends be recognized for doing such an outstanding job of taking the lead with this year's various Fishing Support Activities. A lot of Fine Anglers, from both of our Fishing Clubs, contributed Time and Treasure to make this event so successful.

One man in particular needs to be singled out, Butch Minich. He clearly went Above and Beyond in his display of support for this successful Waldport Children's Event. Butch is to be congratulated and both of our Fishing Clubs are very fortunate to count him as a member.

It is most appropriate that I conclude by recognizing the many contributions made by my Longview Hills Fishing Club Colleagues. It always makes me proud to stand with each of you and I Thank You All ……….

The LVH Fishing Club had their annual tour today of the commercial fishing boats in Yaquina Bay. Captain Mike Pettis and Dean Fleck of Englund Marine showed us the different types of fishing vessels, explained the current status of the Pacific Northwest commercial fisherman and all their efforts to sustain the fishery, and followed the tour up with a graphic video showing a great deal of what our fishermen go through (good and bad). Thanks, guys!

Also, we couldn't have picked better weather to go out walking on the docks looking at boats. I don't think we can thank Mike and Dean for that, too, but it sure made it a nice day.

Have you ever eaten at the Historic Anchor Inn? If not, there is a real treat in store for you. Not only is it charming and the food absolutely fabulous (with good prices) but they have the best waiter in the business. Wait, isn't that our own Mike Samples? Yes, it is. The only thing he wouldn't do for us is sing. Oh well, no one is perfect. Unfortunately, last night was his last night for a while as the Anchor Inn restaurant closes this week-end and won't be open again until after Labor Day. They are only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday night but keep it in mind for next fall. It really is a wonderful dining experience.

THE MAY SCHEDULE FOR THE SILETZ FISH TRAP IS AS FOLLOWS:

MAY 9 FRANK STOUT
MAY 16 FRANK STOUT
MAY 23 WAYDE DUDLEY
MAY 30 WAYDE DUDLEY

A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR NEW LVH FISHING CLUB MEMBER ROGER WILSON WHO COVERED TRAP DUTY ON MAY 2ND.

The Posse went out and shot Sunday, May 4th. As always we had a great time and, I must say, not bad for a bunch of old guys (and me).

STAND DOWN AT SCHOONER CREEK - EFFECTIVE 9 MAY 2008

Gentlemen,

As you all know i've been working out of the office a lot and for some reason my connection to state email won't allow me to recall any of your saved email addresses so i'm sending this through Casey. The trapping effort went well again this year and i appreciate everything you all did. I'll summerize the numbers and send out last years records for comparison. I think at this point it is safe for us to discontinue trapping for this year on Friday May 9th. That is the trap should be opened up so any addtional fish can pass upstream without getting trapped. I will be at a conference in Portland until Thursday. Please contact Casey with any questions.
Thanks again for all your help.

James

p.s. Mike because the trap will be opened on a Friday will you be able to take care of that? Let me know.

Check out below "Stand Down at Palmer Creek . . ." to view the slide show. These photos, of course, do not cover everyone's stay but it gives you some idea of our experiences. Enjoy!

What do you do when the bait tastes as good as the prey? | StatesmanJournal.com | Statesman Journal

What do you do when the bait tastes as good as the prey? | StatesmanJournal.com | Statesman Journal: "The first time that I confronted the idea of eating fishing bait was in college. It was at the terminal end of at post-community college higher education at California State University Fresno.

Long story short, there was a major paperwork malfunction and the G.I. Bill checks didn't come, and didn't come, and neither did the job prospects.

So after burning through all of the savings on books, tuition and move-in fees, it was decision time: Food or rent.

And there it was, the lone protein source in the racks on the refrigerator door next to a nearly depleted bottle of catsup: About three-quarters of a mini-brick of Velveeta cheese.

Trout bait."

This from Phil Reed:

Finally got a chance to get out and do some fishing, joined some friends fishing the Willamette River in the Portland-St. Helens area, it was slow but I managed to hook and land this nice 18-20 Spirng Chinook. Hope Spring is finally here and we all can get out and do some fishing with out getting snowed in!
