Hoping some others plan to attend the PDX show Thursday. Let us know please.

Anybody in the Olympia WA area interested in sharing a ride.  The last time I had a ride share was with Mark Shoreline.  Great memory!

West Delta Bar and Grill.  Expo Center, just outside the east side of Hall D but still in the building.
In the past those attending showed up between 5-5:30.

OK Folks,  Bandaid has decided to come to the PDX show tomorrow, Thurs Feb 15.   
If you can be there PM your cell phone # so we coordinate.
We will plan to be at the West Delta Bar and Grill a little before 5 to try and stake out some table space.

Judy is now iffy and didn't sleep -I was fighting stomach problems much of yesterday.  8" of snow overnight.

Gonna crank up the wood stove...... 

But BigMac Dave will be at the bar and grill at 5. HOpe some will get together- previous meetings have all been good.

I'm disappointed-  Like Rodney Dangerfield says "Tough crowd,  really tough crowd"

If anyone's interested, and can get away, there's an albacore fishing seminar at the show tomorrow at 1pm.  The guys on iFish say the presenter is very knowledgeable.  I'm planning to attend and take copious notes.

That's Del Stephans. I've attended a couple of his presentations.  He is usually at the OCEAN show is Salem.  Russ Streamfixer usually works there.

Most everything you need to know:

Don't Start-  It's Addicting!!

Long hours of prepping, searching- then Frenetic, bloody action!

We're headed out this coming Sunday on a little travel trailer trip.  We'll end up in Salem so I can go to the Saltwater Show Saturday.  I'm going to pick up one of Lester's pot pullers while there.  He's setting one up for me with a power up & down switch.  Busy the following week so we are leaving for home Sunday.  Anyway I'll be wandering around Saturday at the show.

A friend was at the Portland show yesterday (Thursday).  I destroyed him badly fishing for coho inside of Grays Harbor (Johns Rive area) that he was desperate to up his game.  Of course I was humble about it🙄🤣.  He felt the Portland show was a bit more river centric versus ocean.  He did say he chatted with the guys at the Cox diesel outboard booth.  $75 Grand for one of them suckers!!!!  Holy Need To Win The Lotto if a guy wanted to hang a couple of those of the stern of a boat.

I wanted to talk with Garmin about getting better display/ fish return.  IT doesn't do well while underway. 

Big Mac said no one showed up Thursday    :(

The Pacific Coast Sportfishing, Tackle and Boat Show starts next Thursday, March 7th at the Orange County Fairgrounds.  Any So Cal Arima Owners planning to attend?  I am targeting Friday, March 8th.
