I'd really like to have a get together, where we can all meet, and hang out. Feedback guys and gals? Trust? Meiling?
Washington, or NW meet(s) discussion
- Thread starter WyldFya
- Start date
I am in WA state as well, near the beach. I think it would be cool to me up. Maybe we can go tour a shop or something. I know The Trust will go if fish are involved. Where in WA is everybody? I am in Hoquiam.
The TRUST checking in!
Well there are a few ideas of what we can do.
We can do a LFS trip thing but the problem with the Seattle Area is that good decent LFS are spread far and wide, most of the cool ones that carry rare or monster fish are located in Chinatown but aside from that everything else is spread out. I know some of you may be interested in this but for me I will just be happy meeting members. I got to Chinatown almost daily cause I work walking distance from there. Don't expect to see anything too cool. I usually buy my fish from out of state for a reason.
Another option is to do a meet and stop by members places to check out their selection. the same problem comes up....Distance. Most of us live quite some distance from each other. Fishminded lives right by me but people like say Ted lives 30 mins from me and REC lives about ahr 15 mins away. Other members not in the Seattle Area like say Caveman who lives about 3.5 hrs away from me may pose a problem as well.
Another Option that maybe the best idea is to do meet as a fish/collecting expedition. We need to find someplace good to fish. If it is for bass and other warm water fish we can hold the meet in Eastern WA. If it's sometime in the fall we can meet for a Salmon fishing trip (I Have yet to catch one.....I'm so emabrrased). Now for Salmon there are lots of places but I usually drive down to meet with Frank (Caveman) who usually guides me close to the Olympic National forest. The area is beautiful an pristine. Another bonus to this part is that there is a lake there like no other I've seen. Fishing is so so there but what is cool about it is the collecting. Frank and I get excited catching crawdads, newts, freshwater sculpin, and stickle back that are found in this lake.
there are many ideas we can throw out for a meet. I'm open to hear what people think might be a good idea.

Would be cool to do a group order from one the vendors that way we could split the shipping and possibly get a group discount. I'm down for a native fish collecting trip. The Trust is a master crawdad and newt catcher. Oldest man I have ever seen get so damn happy over a newt.
Cant keep it a secret forever. Everyone should know about your mad skills. You should get your own crawdad catching show on ESPN2.The TRUST;1000007; said:HEY! That was supposed to be a secret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
