Boating is BACK!!
After 8 inches of snow last weekend, it's going to be mostly sunny and
in the upper 60's here this weekend. I'll be spending some time back out on the water!! It's about time... this has been one of the longest, coldest winters I can remember. Anyone else plan on getting out any time soon? |

Anyone else plan on getting out any time soon? Not me, at least for another couple months, then it will be getting to be that season. It's about 40 here today but suppose to have freezing rain and snow starting tonight and going on through the weekend. Today is hard to take but makes you feel like the better weather is coming, but this weekend is a reminder that it's still Feb, then March is yet to follow. but I'm starting to get lake fever! |

I hear ya... it gets cold here, but in the past years it's always warmed up every two - three weeks enough to allow a comfortable boat ride. We've gone a long time this winter without a warm, dry weekend. |

John H Good luck to you on tha, John. We had ice rain here last night, for a while. but it's warming up a bit. Boating season is a long way off for me. Or at least it seems that way. |

About 48 here, and the sun is out bright, and melting the snow off quickly. It feels like it's about 60! This is the first morning I havent gone out and seen frost on the windshild. I'm no getting my hopes up very soon, but for the day the weather is turning. YESSSSS! |

I am in Gold Beach, OR running the Rogue River up to Stair case Rapid. About 33 miles from the launch which is 14 miles from the mouth. foggy and cool at the mouth, and was about 70 up river yesterday. Today was 65. Pics from last years run. Did see the green room in Staircase and water came in over the windshield. But the water us 48 degrees this year, so was just soaked and not super frozen. http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/d...ks/Rogue_2009/ |

It was nice. One of our regular fishing folks we see all the time was pulling up a 40" snook when we came up on them. They gave it a kiss and sent it on his way. Nice to see the big ones were smart enough to find a warm spot so they wouldn't die. Here's a question. I hear about 'bonefishing' all the time, but I'm wondering if they're edible. Are they? I suppose I could look it up, but I figure you're the expert in this arena. -- John H I imagine you could eat them but they are called bone fish for a reason. It is a tough fighting fish that is better sport than food so people usually release them. We don't really see them much here but you will pick one up occasionally. The Keys are prime spots for fishing them, out on the flats on the gulf side. The same type areas around here are more likely to turn up trout. Ladyfish fight like mini Tarpon but are another fish that should be only used for cut bait. Fun to catch but die in the fight before you can release them live. |

Anyone else plan on getting out any time soon? Well, we were out there, it was 68 degrees, and it was glorious. Very nice day on the water. One of my new fenders is missing, maybe one of the windy days rubbed it off. I changed the dock lines so they are preventing any rubbing, hopefully that will stop this in the future. Got a cold snap coming, hopefully that will be the last big one this year. Then on to spring!! |

Agree there. It is a good vehicle to carry your favorite seasonings on tho. I bang it in a hot skillet after marinating in olive oil with some "Emerils" (make my own with less salt and paprika) and some Old Bay. Not bad but not really "fish". Yes, "synthetic" fish... ?;^ ) |

The real question is where are all of the PCBs coming from? Baltimore seems to be ground zero based on the "avoid" areas. That is usually industrial pollution. It has been clear for a long time that we can't use our waterways as chemical dumps and sewers but the people just won't stop. When I was up there, oil pollution was a big concern and they blamed most of on people flushing motor oil down the toilet or dumping it in a storm drain. I think they now have a law that any place that sells oil has to also recycle old oil. People really have to treat waterways a little better or we won't have water to drink and a seafood industry.. That is one reason why I got involved with the water quality program here. Good deal! Speaking of PCB's, I wonder how many chemical companies have had barrels of tainted or spent chemicals come up missing only to be mysteriously sunk in the harbors and waterways? eventually they do rust out. |
