ON THE WATER FOR MARCH (2008)

ON THE WATER FOR MARCH          (2008)

 

Holy Toledo, but the Month of February seemed to go by quick !!!! 

 

Don’t you agree Pard >><< Maybe it’s the “Leap Year Syndrome” ???   It just seems like, right off the bat, a Bunch of Members went to the Eugene Sportsman Show >>> Followed by, us having Breakfast & enjoying Casey Deckard & Dean Fleck’s Presentations >>> Followed by, a successful 5 Station Installation of ODFW Monofilament Line Recycling Stations >>> Followed by, recognizing Charlie Currey as our most Senior Member >>> Followed by, Chief Tom Mc Adams giving us “The Willies” about Hypothermia >>> Followed by, a Fun “Fish Along” at Big Creek >>> Followed by a very successful Beverly Beach Patrol >>> Followed by, The ODFW Rock Fish Tagging Program …… Did I mention, WALTER CHUCK has joined us as our Newest Club Member …. Welcome Walter >>> Congrats, to the Giants on winning Super Bowl “42” >>> Mary & I celebrated our 41^st Wedding Anniversary >>> It seems Dick Garvey broke his leg ……… The question now is ??? …….What’s up with “Papa Pickle” ???  

 

Well Pard, you know this all happened because a lot of great folks got involved in all of these various Club Events & Activities. I suppose you heard about Frank Stout’s proposal for All Club Members to kick-In some Big Bucks to the Coffee Fund, which would allow the Club to buy a “Very Spiffy” & “Very Expensive” Fishing Boat. This proposal is still “Tabled” …. It may never see the light of day, but you got to hand it to Frank & Big Fish, they have got their priorities straight !!!!  Wayde Dudley was the Ram Rod on the “Post Hole Gangs” Mono Line Station Installation. I need to mention the Gracious Hospitality extended to all of the “Post Hole Gang” by Don & Jean Larsen, who inviting all of us to have Coffee & Cookies at their home, before we went out on the Installation Trail …. Special Thanks to the Larsen’s !!!  A Great 90^th Birthday Party was held for The Editor (Aka Charlie Currey). Marilyn & Bob Breakfield were instrumental in making that happen along with some help from our friend Donna Pierce ….. Special Thanks to you all. I want to give Brian Hudson & Butch Minich …. Atta Boys …. for their efforts to make our 1^st  Big Creek FAL a Fun Event >>> Special Thanks to you Butch for bringing your Boats !!!! (The only guy to catch any fish (2) was Kevin MacCarthy >><<< Some place in Lincoln County) !!!  Our recent successful Beach Patrol has some mystique attached, regarding rumors of a Risqué Photo reportedly taken of Coach MacCready …. I don’t have all of the details, but perhaps The First Lady and/or Big Fish might be good information sources !!!!  Have you heard of “THE 6 ROCKERS” …. These 6 Club Members (Wayne, Frank, Wayde, Kevin, Brian, Mike) have signed up to be ODFW ROCK FISH TAGGERS !!!! This entails going out “On the Blue Water” all day catching & tagging Rock Fish off of our coast ….. It may not be for the Faint of Heart, but they all seem to think it’s a “Barrel of Fun” & If you contact Wayne Hill, there are still Open Slots available, on the charter boat, for additional ROCKERS !!!!!  

 

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH       I am a little apprehensive about making any activity predictions about March, after such a busy FEB.

 

As You All can see from the recently published Monthly Event Schedule, we have our fun Monthly Breakfast to look forward too ++ The General (Aka, Brian Hudson) has us set up for our 2^nd FAL at Olalla Lake. Trap Servicing will continue >>> Thanks to Wayne Hill’s Scheduling & All of You Intrepid Trappers being involved.  

 

The BIGGIE this month will be our Special Club Tour of the Georgia Pacific Paper Plant located in Toledo. You All need to be aware of the Date/ Time Change of this Special Event >>>>  ( 9 AM at the Club House On the 27^th of March) <<<< We all need to let Wayne Hill know of our confirmed intentions to attend this fun Special Tour ……… Don’t Miss This One !!!!!!!!!

 

Inclosing, allow me to say, as it relates to Mary & I celebrating our recent 41^st Wedding Anniversary >><< We both have agreed to renegotiate our contract for another year !!!!   As it relates to Papa Pickle (Aka, Dick Garvey) ….. Dick, we will keep you & Bev in our “Good Thoughts” & look forward to your safe return to LVH & our Club Activities.   Cogitate on this ……….. “Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, We May as Well Dance” !!!!!!!!

 

Well that’s the top of the news as it looks from here, Hope to See You On the Water …………… THE HOOK
