For a new guy fishing, I am amazed at how few people in the Northwest actually enjoy the outdoors. It is turning into a bunch of computer codin' yuppies! It seems most people I know have never fished and don't even want to. I ask a few guys if they want to go and I get this reply- "You want me to get up WHEN? ARE YOU @#$%^* CRAZY?" Have these guys who send you hate mail looked at the Sound lately? It is one big ass piece of water. I get ideas of where to fish from here, from friends who fish, from other internet sites like SU, all great resources. Who are these guys that feel that they are the only ones who deserve to fish a certain spot? Hey, first come first serve. If your zipperlip is taken by time you get there, for goodness sake get up earlier. I know a guy who used to anchor up in the river and sleep in his boat all night to preserve his spot. Do what you gotta' do. I think the more guys we get out there catching fish, the more guys we'll have who want to do something to protect the fishing we have left.

Keep it coming, DOWNRIGGIN!!!
