Boating (and a little fishing) Saturday June 25th.


Ron (H's step-dad) bought a very nice boat and we (Ron, H, Elliott and I) took it out for a little spin on the Columbia River (I think we were mostly in the Multnomah Channel). We departed from the Scappoose Bay Marina and headed south. We tied up to some pilings for a bit of fishing (with worms) but no fish were caught. It was extremely fun. Later we all went over to H's house in Warren and had a nice BBQ with Snjezana and the kids.











Another Random trip to Willamette Park

On June 12th I did an hour of early morning fishing at Willamette park. There were no fish caught, and not even any nibbles, but I took some nice photos that I goofified with google Picnik:

May 18th 2011 Clamming at Del Ray Beach on Mt. St. Hellen's eruption anniversary.

3am pick up. On the beach by 5am.
A perfect day for clamming. I got my limit of 15. Everyone got a good load of nice fat juicy Pacific Razor clams. .

A bucket of big ones.







Bills Fishin' Hole, Orting Wa.

A bit like shooting fish in a barrel except using a fishing pole instead of a gun. It was fun to catch magnificent trophy size Rainbow trout even if it was pretty easy. It was good to see old friends also. (Trish, Carisa, Daemain)




Those are some very nice trout

Fishing with Steve Memorial Day 2011, American Lake




May 30 Steve and I rented a boat on American Lake and ended up catching 10 Perch (Steve got 6 I got 4).

 That Evening Steve rocked the house at JazzBones. 




 The next day I had a job-site visit at the UW to look at cast stone parts of this building:

Fishing update - march 29, 2011

I've been very negligent in not reporting the last dozen (or more) fishing adventures that Steve and I have had. But here is an update of the latest one:

Yesterday (March 28, 2011) We went to Bradly Lake, at South Hill (south of Puyallup WA).


No bites at all. Then we went to the Puyallup river near the Skate park behind Fred Meyers:


We caught 9 huge salmon and a giant rainbow trout. Not really. Once again there was no action. Then we went out to Jazz Bones (a bar in Tacoma) where they have Karaoke with a live band. Steve did two songs:

Van Halen Jump


And Billy Idol Rebel Yell:



It was all totally awesome.

The next day we hit The Tacoma waterfront:


After that we had some great Mexican food (thanks Steve) and went to Thea's Park where they have a nice new dock:



A good time was had by all. Including the fish. Because we didn't catch any.
