Float craft connection (Let's get on the water!)

Post by **Gringo Pescador** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:58 am

My hopes for this forum is similar to the Open seat string in the fresh water forum. If you have a human powered craft (Drift Boat, Pontoon boat, Cataraft, kayak, etc.) and would like to get on the river with like-minded boaters. Post up your information here. One of the drawbacks of floating rivers alone is getting back to your rig (shuttle service) when the day is done. My goal of this is to solve that issue and get some connections made from the site to be able to float/fish together.
Post up your information and let's get on the river!

Craft: 1 seater, 10' cataraft
Home river: Skykomish
Rivers/runs familiar with: Skykomish (high bridge-Sultan), Wynoochie (7400-White bridge), Cowlitz (Blue Creek-Mission Bar)

I have my cat on a trailer that would be possible to stack a 2nd rig on top of it for shuttling.
With planning I can get out weekends and some weekdays.

Great idea Gringo. I made this a sticky. I've got a two person pontoon. Fish Mondays.

Maybe someday I'll have to try that. Does it work on Cassidy? I think that's the name of the lake I'm thinking of. The one where you can have an outboard, but can't use it.

cool Idea!

I have a 9 foot toon single person I can go to a-lot of places but restricted to light rapids I think it is level I-II rapids.

I have a truck now so i can place in the back with both toons full or can break down as I have an inverter in the truck also to fill up at the river lake or what not.

currently out of work all days work for me with some notice.

Im a newbie up here living in Puyallup,, Im use to Bass Fishing down in the south... Just moved from Texas and been here just a lil over a month. Im very interested in learning how yall fish for Salmon and Steelies. I did get to drift the Winooch once and saw how a few guys were very productive on the pontoon floats. So I found me a good priced 10 footer on craigslist and Im ready to hit the local rivers. The only Issue I need a partner,,, I have a lil dodge dakota pickup,, should be no problem puttin to floats in the back of. any thing with in a 2 hour drive Im down for. Im also in the military so I have access to the Nisqually on post. So I can easily get a fishin buddy on post as long as they are with me. docvader76513@yahoo.com

Craft: Ocean Kayak Pro Angler 15
Truck: Tacoma w/two kayak racks on top and a trailer hitch.

I'm new to kayak angling, but not new to kayaking or fishing. I live in the Mukilteo area (8-2) and the Skycomish is not far away. I'm available evenings, every other Friday, and most week-ends.

Wish I could, but unfortunately I can't do this Friday. Keep me in mind when you are planning other days/times though. I am able to get some weekdays off when I "work the system" just right.

I live in Puyallup and I have a 9 foot tooner, Im still quite new to fishing in the North West but Im wanting to get out and get the experience. Im up for almost any type of fishing. Rod or Fly Fishing. I would love to go with some people and do a over night float. My #1 goal this summer is to float and camp on the Grande Ronde river and catch a slew of small mouths. Im hearing that theres a many of them and they love to hook on. If any one is interested in camping, floating and fishing the Grande Rande inbetween Middle June to Late July, or would like to fish a little closer to Pierce County please contact me at 253-861-7779.
A little about me. Im origanly form Mississippi. Im 34 and Statationed at Ft. Lewis. Like I said Im new to the style of fishing that is done up here in Washington, but I cant wait to get out and learn.

I'm a Veteran living up here on the east side of Seattle. I don't have a boat and probably won't buy on anytime soon. I need practice before that happens. If someone has the space on their boat, I would be happy to chip in for gas. I normally bank fish from Sky, Snohomish and Puyallup. you can text me at 425 269 2613

thanks,
