I've made a lot of these flyers over the years and I'd have to say this one was the most enjoyable to put together. If the 100,000 square feet of custom trucks, four wheel drive accessories, and fishing seminars isn't enough to get you here…well, there's always Jocelyn Ireland. I'm thinking our new 15 passenger…
By Ray Gombiski. There is something special about the Hoh river, from the landscape to the fish, the Hoh will never disappoint a Steelhead fisherman. It had been several years since my last trip to the Hoh and I was sure this was to be a special trip. My friend Jay Christopherson would join me…
Niagara Falls, New York April 1 2010 (AP) Early this morning Niagara Falls was conquered for the very first time. With over a hundred years of history and mankind trying to survive these falls in their homemade barrels and other contraptions, the mighty Niagara has now been beaten by a modern day Daredevil. The biggest…
After the show from Anacortes on Saturday, Nelly and Robbo couldn't wait to get out of our makeshift studio Skagit Orca provided by Master Marine. You see they were going fishing in the 4th annual Anacortes Salmon Derby. I on the other hand couldn't wait to get out of there for an entirely different reason,…
We finished off this past week with a live broadcast from the Anacortes Derby on Saturday morning and then jumped in Tom Nelson's boat after the show to fish the remainder of the derby in the San Juans. 1000 tickets were sold in just 9 days for this event and I'm guess-timating that 350 boats…
What's the difference between a "derby" and a "tournament'? I won't bore you with the dictionary definition of these two words but the Anacortes Salmon Derby sure has a "Big time" feel to it! For those that have not had the opportunity to attend or compete in this event, let me tell you: this is a…
You feel the rush as your float dips under the surface; you come back hard on the rod and feel the first couple head shakes. You see the flash under the water of a chrome fish writhing back and forth trying to shake lose, you reel down and bury the hook good this time….
It was only natural for our partner Tom Nelson to fish for blackmouth the day before we left for Costa Rica and the day after we got back. Go figure…we're heading to Anacortes today to fish in the derby. I mean, the guys talking about dam counts at Bonneville Dam while we're humming around the…
Yeah, I said it… I told Tobeck last week that "I almost wish we were staying home to hit the springers rather than going to Costa Rica." In retrospect, that might have been a short-sighted statement… We've all seen pictures and heard the stories of the incredible fishing, scenery and weather in Central America, but…
My wife doesn't ask too much of me, but when she does ask something I try to make it happen. There has been one request however that I just haven't been able to get done, at least not until now. What was the request? She simply wanted to be able to park her car in the garage. I…
