Bass fishing on the Luckiamute (avoiding a complete skunk)

I spent the last week in Corvallis on family business which occupied me until noon each day.  Because I flew there and couldn’t fit my kayak in the overhead compartment, C_Run kindly loaned me a kayak and some gear.  I thrashed around on the Willamette near Corvallis for several afternoons, but was unable to hook onto either a salmon or a sturgeon.  Then C_Run felt sorry for me and took  me bass fishing on the Luckiamute.  It was fun, and I avoided the embarassment of being completely skunked for the whole week.



Here’s C_Run in action.

Nice job Pete!! Hope all is going well with your family situation there, I am sure it's nice to get on the water and relax too.

Glad you could get out for some fun in the sun yesterday!  Man, you must have been hot in that neoprene! Nice fishes!!

We love that place. Always catch fish and it's very peaceful.

It was great meeting celebrity fisherman, pmmpete. I feel kind of bad about promoting salmon fishing on the upper Willamette as it has always been tough for me and I had never tried from a kayak before. I learned a lot about what not to do. I offered to buy his bass since it was an inch and a half longer than mine for my AOTY points.

Sweet!! Nice to see a smallie in your hand pete!!
