West side eat and chat. (Lurkers feel free to speak up)

We have been growing a head count here over on the west side, so I think it's time we put together a location where we could meet up at a local grub hole and talk kayak fishing in the off season. 
Obviously this will be open to anyone from the greater PDX and Salem areas as well, for those that would like to join us. 

I'm thinking if we come up with a good west side location, we could pull in those folks from the north coast as well. 

Lets get a show of hands and your general location.  With that we can dial in a location and find a grub hole to meet up at. 


Lemme get the list started, and will update it as folks reply:
INSAYN (Craig) Forest Grove, OR
BlueWRX02 (John) Hillsboro, OR
DTS (Dave) Forest Grove, OR
Pinstriper (Mark) Sholls, OR
hdpwipmonkey (Ray) Cornelius, OR
Wobbler (Steve) Bethany, OR
Mojo Jojo (Shannon) Tiily-Moo, OR
Ek-Balam (Bret) Yamhill, OR
surforegon () Cannon Beach, OR
Mark Collett (Mark) Somewhere West
Nocatchem (Roger) Cornelius, OR
Marcus (Marcus) Netarts / North Portland, OR
Izzy-() Forest Grove, OR
SSAL (mao) Hillsboro, OR
Zach.Dennis (Zach) Beaverton, OR
Mursestrong (Hugh) Oregon City OR

How far West are you thinking? Old Market Pub in SW Portland is a pretty good spot, as it has lots of room and is pretty central. The main downside is the food isn't that great, but their pizza and calzones are decent.

I'm thinking no further east than mid Hillsboro.   There are a ton of folks in the greater PDX area, and the already well established PDX meetup does a great job of corralling those folks in, with a few east and west side stragglers. This isn't intended to replace the PDX meetups, rather I'm thinking by pushing a west side gathering much further west I'm hoping to include those that don't normally get across town to attend the PDX meetups. 

With that, this will most likely be a much smaller group than that of the PDX crew (at least at first), so I'm thinking a huge grub hub won't be as necessary.

BTW, Noah you are more than welcome to drive out this way and hang with us (wherever we dial in a location). 
You've got some really good kayak fishing knowledge that would be awesome to share with to those out here that haven't met you personally.

Mark, Scholls

Cool, hope I can make it.

Count me in!

I'm always up for an excuse to drink beer and talk fishing. ( maybe some trailer talk also)

You know where I'm at , if I can make it I will. How far west you thinking Jay owns the Manzanita lighthouse bun-n-grub , but that's pretty far west. Too much farther and you will need your boat.

Jojo,

If we get a good consensus of far left coasters to reply, we can totally lean towards a coastal grub hub.

I'll drive out! 

I think Jays would be a great for us on the coast to meet up.

Post up your name(s) and location and I will add you to the growing list of Westies.

Thanks for attempting to coordinate this.

I would look forward to meeting more yak-minded folks. Please add to your list.

 I reckon that I am a left coaster. Could probably join in on a little get together that could be fun.
 Add me to the pile Craig.

 I might be able to offer a bit of insight too.

Bump! 

There has to be a few more stragglers out there dying to get together on the west side.   

Bumped again, since I knocked this back down a couple notches...
