Warrior on Whidbey

  He's a warrior, but he's not wounded (unless fishing with me would qualify as mentally challenged ) Chappy's out on Whidbey Island for work (Navy man) and he'd really like to get out if anybody is available with a spare boat.
 
 He's got plenty of time in the kayak (he won the redfish division of the Jacksonville classic (twice) and he's the one who caught the Tarpon in the big fish brag section) Although he has not fished much in cold water, his day job assures you that he can take care of himself (and you for that matter. He's a helicopter rescue swimmer) and he comes with a drysuit.

If anybody could get him out in the next couple of days (I think he leaves Friday) he'd really appreciate it and I guarantee that he keep you laughing even if you don't catch any fish. Which, BTW, ain't likely as he's got to be the luckiest SOB I've met. If nothing else, he's worth finding just to have a beer and swap lies. He's got some good fish stories (and most are even verified!)

Wish I would have posted this earlier, but time got away from me. I'll pm you his phone number as he left his laptop.

Wali

Where are we talking about Wali? Is he in PDX area or up in WA?

That would be Whidbey Island ... north of Seattle.

Whidbey Island, Washington

(is there a Widby island in OR?) 

Wish I could help but the fam and work calls. Even working on Saturday... sheesh!

My bad. I thought you were saying he was on THE Whidby Island (as in, the Navy warship with the same name  ). I was thinking it might be in port somewhere in the area. oops!

umm... having a little trouble with the link.... that last parenthesis is not being included in the link. sorry.

yeah, I feel like an idiot! I guess I would've figured it out by looking at where the thread was started. D'oh! 

Sounds like an easy enough mistake to me. WTF is it doing in Virginia anyway?

Hey, I thought there might have been a Widbey Island in the Columbia and I had no idea that there was a ship.

LOL! Yeah, weird. I was on the Cleveland, stationed in San Diego along with the Denver, Austin and Dubuque among others.

Dang,

Wish I could help, but I'm busy with company this week.  Been crabbing in my kayaks with my cousin yesterday, but have only fished a few times this year.  I really don't know of others that live up here with a spare kayak.  Hope you find someone.  Fishing has been poor up here for awhile now, but I'm looking forward to some pinks this year....
