Northwest Fishing Reports

We are getting some much needed family time in. Going out to the coast near Copalis area (Seabrooke) staying for 4 days. Bringing a smoked bird from home, cooking garlic mashed potatoes and dressing at the ocean. Doing pumpkin and apple pie here to bring with. Probably a side dish of green beans stir fried in bacon/Chantrells. (heart attack coming)
4 days of beach walking, ( a little surf casting b4 the fam. wakes up) go into Ocean Shores and do some go-carting in the freezing cold, and if the horses are on the beach maybe a little horse back riding for my daughter.
Leave work at work.... and the people you need a break from at home:dwarf:

What you??

Suppose to warm up, so I'm going to finish digging a water drainage ditch along the front pasture to keep the water from flooding the wellhouse when it rains ALOT, seperate the rocks from the dirt, hose the dirt off the rocks, haul rocks to the ditch and dump them in. Dump the dirt along the 'driveway' to the back 20 and slope it nicely. Then finish a rock wall along the front driveway, and start filling in the side of the driveway to make it all flat along there. :-) Not to mention watch lots of tv if it rains too much, or if a good movie is on.

I got to work 5:30 am to noon then I got to go to the inlaws#-o We are supposed to have a high of 18* for turkey day:colors:

Gonna spend the weekend with the inlaws in adna, wa. My wife's parents are italian and make sooooooooooooooooper good food, so I'm pretty stoked. My wife convinced me to fish at the skookumchuck black friday, so we'll do that together and then go shopping at the outlets there in centralia. Heheheheh.

Im thinking Ill start by fishing on wednesday. Trying to get another load of chromey coho. Then I will be spending the day doing a huge dinner at my house. We have a 20lb bird Ill be cooking up and my wife will be doing most of the side work. Ive already smoked up a bunch of fish and have it vac sealed and in the freezer. Friday morning will be an early day. Shopping for xmas gifts all in one day. We have a few stores planned to hit and we have to do it fast and furious. Then saturday prolly fishing again. And sunday will prolly be spent sledding with the kids in the mountains. I have to tivo the game so I can watch it when I get home though lol.

Smoking a Turkey.

Eating it.

Yard work if the weather permits.

XBOX if the weather is foul.

going to my fishing buddy's house (we grew up together) and eats some bird, drink some crown, and tell some fishing tales.

Chasing Steel early Thursday and Friday. In between eating some bird, napping, boozin. Go Patriots! Might be chasing those elusive Late Chrome Ho's that are rumored in some Rivers Saturday The Notellum got a late run...

frying a bird but fishing first then come home to fry up the bird for the dinner having my sister and her family come over for dinner. so the son and I will be out hitting the water holes for a while. and the wife and daughter will start on the from scratch cheesecakes hmmmm and pies Sweet potatoe my moms recipe this is our first TG up north. and first time living in a snowy enverioment this is going to be a great winter I love the snow. and fishing in it is better than fishing in the rain lol.

Nope in the Nayy, jsut my Duty day, I get about 1 to 3 hours of sleep if I am lucky on duty days. Sometimes I get none though

My family has been the family gather spot for Tday for as long as I can remember, whole lot of family coming up from all over, 20 lb bird, smoked salmon, tons of booze and laughter and catching up with those we don't see often enough. Then Friday AM its off to the Snoho for sturgeon fishing with a good buddy and Saturday I think its up to Rockport and launching at the Steelhead Park to look for some early hatchery brats

Have a happy and SAFE Turkey Day all!!

Careful launching a steelhead park, the last time I was there you could barely put a drift boat in. They weren't allowed to use a wheel loader to clean the launch. There is a launch just before town that doesn't get filled with gravel. That’s one of my favorite spots bar none. When the clouds part you don't even need to catch fish, just stair around in awe.

Gonna fry up the turkey and relax. Work has been hectic for the wife and I. We're going to have some cop friends from town over for dinner that have to work that night. THey don't get to have the full deal with their family so they get to come over to ours for a bit.

playing call of duty black ops

goin to wifes family thursday then brining and smoking a bird in the treager on friday

Hang in there brother,I never knew they'd put you folks on a 24hr rotation. They can be brutal but you know that already.
For what its worth,we appreciate your service and we wish you a happy Thanksgiving!
