Hey Parker, I agree that the guy on the sticks is the one 'fishing' when plugs are being pulled. But the Kid can pull some fine sticks - I've watched him. But, I just can't believe he and fp kept those dark fish in your fuzzy picture. laugh Hey, nice chromers! And pic quality!

As for the early nates, it seems to be happening in many rivers in both states. Mark got one nate chromer way up a north coastal zipper we bankfished a week or so ago. And yesterday I got a nate on the highest driftboat run on the Nestucca. I can't wait for some outer OP nate hunts in March. When that gets good, save me an open seat with you guys for some of that there stuff. smile
