Holly Shiznit are there a ton a Chum in the Skagit right now!!!… More than I’ve ever seen for this time of year!!! Crazy fightin’ “Army Fish” are everywhere and in full Camo too!! Think someone put it best earlier this week when they compared it to being as good as AK Fishing and then said its like fishing a Pink Run,… only they’re WAY bigger and meaner!!! I think absolutely everyone over the past week has gone home with sore arms from fightin’ so many fish!! Fightin’ through the Chum trying to land some Silvers has been a challenge to say the least and the chum we have been keeping have all had sea-lice still on them!
Here’s some more overdue fish porn for Ya:
Frank’s at it again… Slaying more fish with us here on the Skagit!

O.K. Been a Loooong’ time since I’ve made any Blog Updates here… Sorry about that everyone!!… Been really super busy over the last year trying to complete the construction of our Log Home / B&B while still trying to guide trips everyday… So our Blog and web-site has kinda gone by the wayside here for a long time.
Been so stinkin’ tired from working on our Log Home every day till’ dark that I haven’t had a chance to do much of anything.:-( (Our Log Blog has been updated today as well… Really, really close to completion now… as in roughly 2 more weeks till’ Final… then I can take a breather, at least for the Winter…. O.K…. Maybe)
Sorry, no daily story to go along with pics and sorry to those who fished with us since our last Blog Update where I forgot my Digi-Cam… But to answer those e-mails out there and phone calls… Here’s some “Fish Porn” for Ya!! (Ya Preverts!!)

Thanks to all that joined us since the last Blog Update and really sorry for the pics that didn’t make it and for those days I left the digi-cam at home.
As we are now so close to completion of our log home I can breathe just a tad easier and try and get some more updated pics and reports up for everyone…
Next up “Another weeks worth of the UMC Boyz”… I mean “Team Nabisco” … OK… Only a couple of boat loads worth of crackers… so far!!

O.K.,… Most of our readers out there have either been fishing or hunting with me for quite some time now and know the run-in’s I’ve had with certain anti-hunting groups for posting kill shot pics in the past… Been a few years now, so lets do a little test post here and see what happens.
Our 2008 Bear Season was pretty successful this year with everyone getting to bag their bear or at least have a pretty close encounter with one… Even the guide gets to bag his own bear now and then too.
Here’s a pic of the bear I bagged for the 2008 season.
