Hi. I am Chad. my first fish was when i was 12. It was a 6 inch sculpin near deception pass. my favorite fish to catch (or attempt to) is rainbow trout, but i'm open to all possibilities. I love the outdoors and apples. i wish i could have a real boat but now i am stuck with a "4" person inflatable boat. (if anyone has an aluminium boat or anything else like that just laying around... I will be grateful to take that off of your hands.)

Success in my book is getting the line in the water... fish are simply a bonus.

Hobbies: fishin, camping, riding my motorcycle when the weather doesn't suck.
What You Do: US Army Warant Officer (intel); going on 22 years of service

I'm here to learn. I've been lurkning around this board for years and have learned much from it. I figured it was about time to sign up so I could get some of my questions answered and maybe find some fishin buddies. So far, my wife, who loves to fish but has trouble getting up early in the morning, has been my fishin partner. I try to get on the water every week when my schedule allowsfor it. I've got a old 16ft Monarch bass boat and am willing to take anyone out who's willing to share their knowledge.

What's up dot com'ers, I'm Trav and I'm new to WL and fishing. Can you believe I'm 30 and fished for the 1st time? My home slice JT(as he was once called) took me and the Mrs. salmon fishing one Thursday and I've been hooked every since, that's been about a month. We also did some casting in OR while on business and pulled some bass, perch, and trout.

Keep and eye out for the new guy, I'll be the one breaking the many rules WA has(no barbs, no bait, daytime only, no white shoes aft Labor Day)LoL!!

I'm in Tacoma and plan on hitting every hole within 50 miles.

Well my name is Josh and I have been a WL.com member for a few months, but just recently discovered this forum. I'm 36 and have been fishing off and on since i was about 5yrs old. The earliest memory I have is my uncle took me to the Sol Duc river near Forks and we slayed the cutthroats. I got out of touch with my inner fisherman for awhile but i have been casting it long and hard for the last 5 to 6 years. I reside in Poulsbo and do about 99% of my fishing out of Kingston at Jeff head and Presidents point. I'm the guy in the boat; that me and my buddies aptly named the Chiquita Cheeta. Its a very yellow arrowglass tri-hull; but it gets the job done. I am currently a part-time employee and full time dad (a 2yr old and a 5yr old) who goes to Olympic College at night. So i try to get out on the water as much as possible I sure hope the afterlife has a fishing pond LOL! If i do get time and can't make it out on the water I love to watch sports. Go Huskies, Hawks, and M's. Well thats enough banter out of me hope to see ya on the water, and if you do see me in the CHEETA give me a shout out.

Later
Josh P.:cheers:
