Looks like they are going to throw us a bone.  5 hours of smelt dipping Thursday 8 to 1:00.

Of course it’s on a weekday. I hope to find an excuse to go. Last time it was open my spot was one dip and done.

Truck is in the shop and can't borrow the wife's car, so might set this one out.  Still got last dips limit in  the freezer, and seasoned for bate.  I'd have to smoke them.

Workin man gotta stay workin. Support those that need it. With so little sturgeon fishing anymore, my bait stash just may last forever.

Just got asked if I would help chaperone a bunch of 9 -12 years old for an outing.  Anyone know a safe spot?  I'm seeing nothing but red flags.

I guess my sarcasm didn't come through. I don't think you can camp there, but I would get there hours early to beat the others.

The campers and trucks were parked in their "spots" at 6 when I drove down the Westside Hwy. on my way to work.  My Dad called from Snowbird land and asked me to get him some.  The problem is; I no longer have a net, and have to work anyway.  Hopefully my son can get some for him.
