WA 2008 Fishing Meet #1

[The TRUST]

OK advance notice for WA members and also need your input.

I am planning to try to set up a WA Fishing meet in Eastern WA at the

Ginkgo Petrified Forest/Wanapum Recreational Area

I've never been there but hbluehunter swears it to be a nice area.

I know most of us are in the West side but we all know that east side fishing is way better. Especially fishing out of the Columbia.

Now what I need now is a day to do this meet. the Columbia has catfish so we can even leave to go there the night before and fish into the morning. Sleeping in the car of course. But that's just an idea.

With the rising gas prices I strongly suggest we car pool and I think it's fair if we contribute $10 per passenger for the mileage and gas to the driver. So I will need volunteers on who can drive their car there. Let me know what you guys think of this idea.


So this is still a pretty open date. Sooner the better. The days that don't work for me are June 15 (Father's Day) and June 22. Aside from that I THINK I'm pretty open.

I've never fished there but it's right on the Columbia River and is a very nice place. If i'm available on the picked date i'm in...

15th is out of the question for me. But the late night catfishing does sound interesting though.

I'd really like to go, but I need to get a fishing license, new rod/reel and so on.
which right now isn't in the budget.

Hope you guys have fun.

I've been in Vantage plenty of times, never fished. Not sure how the fishing from shore would be. The petrified forest is pretty cool.

My work schedule has me off on Tues and Wed right now, and switching to Sunday and Monday soon, but with enough advanced notice I could probably mix it up.

If I go I can drive, I've got room for 5 (4 and me) if we squeeze. 3-4 would be more comfortable. My car is a POS that gets good gas mileage.
