A quick Shoutout to another Great Guy still Hanging around here on the PP site -

It finally happened, and my two year search for an old vintage Less Davis “Shovel & Rudder” Salmon Trolling Spinner, has finally come to a much appreciated end with one actually finding it’s way to me.

And it came via the ole PP site here.

A few fishing seasons back, my very last Shovel & Rudder flasher, one of three we had from way back in the Jurassic - like the 1960’s, was accidentally tossed over the boat side prior to actually being knotted up and ready to fish. A pure accident, so no names attributed.

Anyways my search has ended with a Piscatorial Pursuits member making contact, so we met up for a great little gear swap, and I won Big! I got the Shovel and Rudder, and I managed to finagle a salmon fishing trip fooling around Pt Defiance with a gentleman that clearly knows his South Sound fishing !

So, a big thanks to Piscatorial Pursuits member “blackmouth” for a couple of daze hanging around bull shipping , trading old salmon lures, and fishing. I learned a lot, and had a nice day fishing around the point.

Again Thanks J, and thx to the Piscatorial site for enabling this contact.

Now, it’s time to give the old S&R a tow around all the Tacoma salmon fishing hot spots and maybe, just maybe , catch another fish.

Cheers y’all
