Hey Rasbo,
I haven't been running much, but still in good hill climbing shape for my upcoming hunts. The little lady is doing good, brags to everyone when she catches the biggest fish and likes to rub it in. :chuckle:

I have the 27th of May to the 5th of June off.  Tim said he will take that week off.  I was thinking on coming down the 29th or 30th and staying until the 5th. Might need to take a run back to moses to drop some fish off at the freezer.

It is gonna be just me ....... ok might bring my kid because he loves fishing but will have to see he is a teen and hanging out with me is "lame"  :dunno: plus at the moment he isnt living with me and he is mad at me....

but this time I know I can go because I have no one suddenly deciding I cant go ...

is bearmanric going this year?  please tell him to leave his farm animals at home  :dunno: just saying....

Title: Re: Third annual catfishing trip 2011
Post by: buckhorn2 on January 02, 2011, 10:53:14 AM
If anyone can come it is a great time and some good fishing too. There is a marina and a restaurant and trailer and tent camping and several restrooms with showers and grocerys in the store with ice. They have a nice stainless cleaning station to clean your fish and a freezer to put them in until you leave. On sarurday we have a potluck with everyone bringing there secret dishes and just have a good old time putting faces to the names on here and making new friends. Rick will have a lot of calls with him and will demonstrate how to call with them and Rasbo will jump in to add his bobcat  calling. They are putting together a fishing contest to add more excitement to the trip with some great prizes. If anyone needs any information as to what we have used to fish over there just let us know we have no secrets. Hoping it;s even bigger this year than last let us know if you can make it so we can make sure about reservations. :hello:

between getting my ACL worked on and moving to AK I have missed it for the last couple years. funny thing is I actually may be in WA, if that is the case I will do what I can to get down. If I do I will be down with a 17' Alumaweld. Long shot but I would love to be there. If I'm not down yet I'm out fishing on the Kenai, I think that would also be okay.

Whenever we wreck out old power poles I save the sissy steps to use as tent stakes. I will bring a bunch of extras if people need them. They are like 3/4 of an inch thick steel.

is anyone going to be offering tips and tactics for fishing for the kitties? I haven't fished for cats since I was a kid and have no idea what to look for as far as bottom structure, depth etc. Baits, I remember were nightcrawlers, chicken livers, stink bait and cut up fish. What gear to bring? Are trout rods good or should I bring the steelhead rods? How big do the cats get over there? any and all tips are welcome.

1/2  to 2 oz sinkers I use small salmon size hooks,slip sinker set up..start getting and freezing some cut bait..average fish 3lbs and up I would say...small gear for bass...we fish shallow water 2ft to 20 ft...regular size rods are fine..the marina does not open early so keep that in mind each evening if ya head out early in the am...

There is very little current but another anchor to help keep the boat from swinging in the wind helps. There is a small shallow spot getting into the river but then deeper on up the river after going up once you will learn the chanell. A lot of people fish for smallmouth and walleye so don;t leave anything home.

At the top of the hill before dropping down to Lyons Ferry there is a sign saying Paulose falls. Out there there are signs all over about snakes and to be careful and people said there are a lot there. Ask Rick he had a close incounter. If you bring it Rasbo can cook it.

Bringing plenty of elk and deer sausage. Elk brats too. Of course adult beverages might find their way into the cooler too.

Bring the deep fryer and make hush puppies to accompany the cat fish. Wife makes a really good coleslaw too

hey wait a minute when I gut fish I cut the belly open then squish the guts out with my fingernail ;) then cut the heads off..... and yeah been known to look at their guts just cuz its kinda interesting.....

And truth is I dont mind gutting fish there are worse things like writing technical papers for science class, paying bills, I taught my kids how to gut fish since they liked fishing so much....its kinda cute now when they offer to bait hooks for me and deal with fish in the rare event I catch one  :chuckle:

 :chuckle:   :chuckle:  I'm happy with what I've got at home.

It's been sitting in open covered storage for four or so years.  Not a bad boat for $250 plus new seats, carpet and steering cable.   :IBCOOL: 

Gotta love those Johnsons though (1976 70hp)!  Didn't do anything to put it to bed cuz I thought I'd be back in it, then life got busy with it sitting a three hour drive away....  Started on the first try with my boy turnig the key and flipping the choke while I held the positive battery cable on (nut was gone) after using my foot to pump the very hard rubber fuel bulb.  The gas was relatively new anyways.

Hopefully the cleanup goes smoothly.

BTW  will those cats eat shrimp or old salmon?

don't know about old salmon, but I heard they love shrimp. I plan on trying herring strips as I was not able to get out for any trout fishing this year.'there is something to be said for a boat like yours, yours is paid for, yours floats the same as mine, yours will catch fish. it ain't pretty but it does its job. I spent many years in a boat like yours and I an say my NEW boat doesn't catch any more fish than my old boat. see ya over there.

kenzmad

Snowmelt. It won't last through August, can guarantee that. With the hydro blockers they'll start controlling flows a little more. It's still fishable, just not optimum. I wouldn't let it keep you off the water. Just be a little more cautious if you're anchoring and while on plane.

All the hard work that goes into "playing homeless" is well worth it once you get to where you are going. I haven't even started getting ready yet. My list of stuff includes replace right front wheel bearing on the superduty,mount anchor nest on the boat, get fishing licenses for the wife and girls, get tabs for the boat and truck,oh ya, I still have to get the canopy off the truck so I can slide in the camper. all this and I still have to work on monday and tuesday. late nights for sure.

Are there size requirements for crayfish pots?  Checked the regs but couldn't find anything.  Would a shrimp pot work?  I could bring one or two.

If you stay close to the marina you would likely be okay. There are some bass right around there. But that wind come whipping down the canyon and it could get western out there in a hurry.

I think the catfish derby will be 6am to 4pm and the potluck will start after all fish are weighed and prizes are given out.

I was just down there and the weather sucked today.  It is improving and should be very nice over the weekend.  Fishing is good.  I'm headed back Friday night.  Hope to see some new faces.

I had a great time. The hunt wa. members are awesome. But today I got my rating paper for the KOA and I rated it as aweful. The people were rude to some of our members and even told one member he had 45 minutes to get out of the campground for rinsing mussells off for our barbeque in a station that said no fish cleaning. One of the members talked to the owner who said he could stay but they were very rude. The restaurant did;nt open until 9 so you had to wait if you wanted breakfast before you fished we asked if they could open before that and they said no. We got 4 pieces of bacon the first two days then they dropped it to 2 pieces for a 10 dollar breakfast. Our members who were there were all going to rate the campground so it was;nt just me. The barbeque was fun and the fishing derby was great and the prizes were way more than expected. We had some great cooks there and a special thnks to Rasbo; Quackwacker and his family for making all this happen.

I have to say with all the fishing,and running through the flats with a pucker that wouldn't quit because of low water,the great food and good fellowship.Watching those folks with their children there,Including myself. it was awesome to see the family's bond..For me to sit with my son on the water or share the tent at camp is what its all about.Playing Frisbee with Lil Loki, sierra,and Katlin was a blast...Sierra tried to get me fatter on a variety of jelly beans,me teasing Katlin about boys a little,oh and the look on Lil Loki's face when he was given a fishing pole that elite1 had won was awesome also.Think I teared up a little on that one..My son smoked me on catching fish,yet never picked on me about it,,,,,NOT,,,LOL .Having a cup of Joe with my friends in the morning Buckhorn2 and bob,which I haven't done in quite awhile was something that I had looked forward to...Shooting marshmallows at buckhorn2 and folks with my wrist rocket was fun also{thud] lol...Sitting with Steve aka elite1 and having a few sips of apple pie was up there on the list of times I will not forget.Steve and his wife did a wonderful job on the quilt and the derby.But all in all it was the families bonding that really was the topper..Thanks to all of you for the great memories.

I have to say with all the fishing,and running through the flats with a pucker that wouldn't quit because of low water,the great food and good fellowship.Watching those folks with their children there,Including myself. it was awesome to see the family's bond..For me to sit with my son on the water or share the tent at camp is what its all about.Playing Frisbee with Lil Loki, sierra,and Katlin was a blast...Sierra tried to get me fatter on a variety of jelly beans,me teasing Katlin about boys a little,oh and the look on Lil Loki's face when he was given a fishing pole that elite1 had won was awesome also.Think I teared up a little on that one..My son smoked me on catching fish,yet never picked on me about it,,,,,NOT,,,LOL .Having a cup of Joe with my friends in the morning Buckhorn2 and bob,which I haven't done in quite awhile was something that I had looked forward to...Shooting marshmallows at buckhorn2 and folks with my wrist rocket was fun also{thud] lol...Sitting with Steve aka elite1 and having a few sips of apple pie was up there on the list of times I will not forget.Steve and his wife did a wonderful job on the quilt and the derby.But all in all it was the families bonding that really was the topper..Thanks to all of you for the great memories.

well said.

I didn't get any camp pics because my camera was on the boat  but I did get some good one from the water. rattler was caught outside of Othello while on a St. Helens ash collecton mission.

Rasbo,

Thank you again for taking me out in your boat for 2 days.  I had a great time with you and your son Bob. 

To everyone else, it was awesome meeting you, and I look forward to seeing you again, someday soon.  I had a blast, and can not wait for next year.

Anyone wanting some pictures, please message me your email, and I will get them sent asap.  Please tell me if you want them large or small files.

Del thank you so much for letting me hang out on your boat I had the best time reminded me real quick how much I love the water and miss it the fishing was fun but thinking need a smaller pole for those silly little yellow bellied beasties, Bob and Rick kept me amused and laughing the whole time ... oh and my dog (Byron the pug) liked the fishing part the whole go fast part was not to his liking at all he climed nearly onto my head  :yike: :chuckle: he also liked the meatloaf

the food was amazing I even tried a steamed mussel and still think they taste like seaweed  :chuckle: :chuckle:

now its time to get back to finishing up my quarter for school....

oh and yep Kenzmad I think I noted a bit of a crush right away...darn kids....mine has been warned to behave his self, these are my friends daughters and they all have guns..... I received an "I know mom"  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Well if the pictures are representative of the trip. Rasbo did all the cooking and Lokidog? did all the cleaning of the fish :chuckle:
Where did you get the mussels?
Looks like a good time

That's what usually happens....   :chuckle:  Not this time, just Runamuk's and my son's, let's call him LegoBoy.  The food was great, glad I didn't have to cook all of it!

BTW, mussels were from the saltwater.  I'm sorry I missed out on hanging out before the good eats Saturday night.  I was a little distracted with the rinsing the mussels thing.  Cranky dude made up for it a bit on Monday morning when he loaned me and LegoBoy two sets of discs for the frisbee golf course.  LegoBoy was pretty excited about trying that.

It was nice meeting many of you .  A big thanks to Elite1 for the fishing rod, and Bob? for the line.  LegoBoy was pretty excited to try his new rod and learn how to cast it.  He got a bullhead all by himself with it.  I think he had as much or more fun chasing Kenzmad's little girl around camp though.   :chuckle:

Did you guys see the news, a boat with three adults and one 2 year old went down on the Snake River this weekend.  Seems they were in a 14 foot Jon boat and the anchor snagged and down she went.  Two of the adults made it to shore, the 2 year old drown and the Dad's body has not been found.   :(

Sad for sure but no one was wearing a life jacket. even the little girs had a flotation device, not a life jacket. I know that neither of my girls are wearing their's in any of the pics but there is a HUGE difference between anchoring in the snake in a 14' jon boat that is loaded vs. anchoring in the palouse in a 21'. Jackets are worn whenever boat is in motion.

sad is right...but i saw a boat out there that was tiny and looked pretty overloaded no one wearing vests and my thought was if the wind kicks at all that boat is not gonna make it back....there is a huge difference in boats, fast murky rivers and small boats are not usually a good combo....sad for sure but people need to learn their limitations and little boats + kids = life jackets

Your boat is a lot different then the one described, plus your girls were quite a bit older than the 2 year old.  I too would only have them wearing lifevest while under power.  Up on the Palouse they were plenty safe in your boat. 
P.S.  That is a very nice set up you have!!

the quilt that we got is awesome. I can't believe the amount of work that goes into these. Everyone there was great and we are already to go again next year. hope there can be some more kids there next year, maybe those of us with kids taking turns not fishing and keeping watch over the children. wife told me she wants to go over for 6-7 days next year so as to not have to be fishing all day every day.I gotta be a little quicker on the draw for those waterjet fish next time. Thanks to all that helped put this on and maybe it'll continue to grow.

Machias, I know who ya are. Thanks. Toyman, I am confused, I was the only good looking guy there soooo. :chuckle: Not sure I got to meet you, are you in any of denali's wifes pics? how about Robert and Todd, what are your screen names?

kenzmad

Toyman was the firefighter. Robert isn't on here and Todd can't remember his screen name. AND I was the good looking guy..... especially with my new hat...
I know that one day this year,you are going to run low on undies and you will look to the hat to bail you out :chuckle: if this happens, please don't bring that hat back next year.

next year the wife will be there foresure,might shoot for the 2nd weekend in june,I will try to keep up on water temps before the gig...something else to think about is the catfish spawn,Ideal water temps would be 78 degrees for channel cats,Im not sure is the water there would get to that point but in the back water shallows Im thinking so...I did post the negatives in lyons ferry rating report..maybe after that they wont let us stay there...

Maybe if we told them we have 6000 members they would change there ways. What a fun time I have been showing the wife everyone in the pictures it;s fun to remember the moment. She did say the snake has to be gone before the barbeque. Steve giving the pole to the little fisherman was special.

I have strategically placed the snake in yet another place for momma to find it

I told Lyons ferry my thoughts as well I let them know this was part of a group of upwards of 7000 people from this state I also donated a few kids lifejackets to the marina I forgot to set them out and didnt want to haul them home again....

Toyman was the hot fireman I found in the parking lot who took my chair ;)

Rasbo the mean one is gonna kill you :chuckle: :chuckle: and then she will have a really nice boat all to herself ;)

Del thats a cool new toy....the pic of Byron is funny....when we first anchored he made a run for the bow and was gonna disembark  :chuckle: :chuckle: he was so over the whole boat ride thing....after he sat for a bit in the sun he decided the fishing part was ok heading back in he could not get off the boat and the dock soon enough funny critter...

was so much fun

Rori you were a great fishing partner it was fun even if Byron did;nt think so. A picture of Rasbo looking for a fishing hole and Steve who was so serious with derby and someone else besides Rasbo that could cause his own type of excitement. Jim you should have taken that one home and Gladis would have shown you mean.

That little snake was really pretty and wasnt too aggressive considering all the attention it was getting.
