Title: Take a couple kids fishing?
Post by: Taco280AI on November 30, 2023, 10:01:54 AM
A work buddy from way back in the day recently passed from cancer. They've only been fishing a couple times, and I'm hoping to find someone willing to take a couple kids (8, 14) and their mom salmon fishing next summer. I'll happily pay for gas. Just a day to show them some fun and keep their mind off the obvious. Or if a guide is willing to cut a deal to help out. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Maybe negotiate a price with a commercial fishing guide who is known on Hunt-WA.......preferably on a 6-pack type boat (so the kids get more help and assistance) and probably get their limit. Then do a fund raiser here. Set things up so they have a good chance at success.

If our schedules work out next summer I would be more then willing to take them out for the day.  I own and operate fin-natic fishing.  We mostly fish halibut out of la push until July.  Then I move down to ilwaco for tuna.  But I could certainly take them out early july.

Always got free seats on my boat. Summer is mostly Wesport which could be a stretch. Springers on the big C is always an option. Slow and boring but dry and warm. MA13 will pick up late spring. Gimmee a holler then

Post this again in the spring.  METHEAD is my neck of the woods and resident expert via PM for great advice my way.  I can help with my boat as well.

OOOOOOH Yes he did !!  I arrived at the boat launch , parking area at daybreak , just in time to watch fish n feathers cuff n stuff two toothless hicks for camping over night , even though there's a sign as big as my sameri, that says NO OVER NIGHT CAMPING !! But that's probably why they figgered it was a great place to enjoy some hillbilly heroin ,fish n feathers and his just as well dressed counterpart , Johny law , had all there illegal toys neatly arranged on the hood of his fancy shiny car you and I supplied him , WOW ! a lot of trinkets there , ANYWAYS ,,, we headed down the trail to our spot , we were there about two hours and what heard just couldn't be true , but as usual I was correct , a FREEKN 9ft. Tall drill Sargent sounding neanderthal was guiding 5 little kids down the trail , and that trail only goes to one spot ,I knew the comfort of the quiet enjoyable day was coming to a end ,he's got 5 kids , 5 chairs , 5 backpacks , and yep !!! 5 poles , he sets up his cannery business about 25 feet from me and I'm just waiting for the generator and neon sign to show up , this guy sets up 6 poles in minutes , gives official orders to the troops in Russian , and they acted like they just got out of fish processing camp and had baited and casted there poles , and were in there chairs very quickly , I don't know what they feed those worms there using , but it's fish on every ten minutes. Mr. 9ft. Is butn n gutn fish as fast as he can , I'm telling you guys this is a well oiled machine !! In about 3 hours , they figgered the buckets were full enuff I guess , and they trooped off with a ton of fresh meat flesh , to this day it's known as the Sunday fish factory story , but this dude brings a whole different meaning to take a couple kids fishing , we cought 4

Let me see what I can do. I typically take out ministry leaders and their kids. But, I may be able to find an opportunity for them to jump on my boat this summer. Or, maybe get them connected with a good buddy who's a guide down on the Columbia by Woodland.
