left my house at about noon to go down and fish by the mouth of the cowlitz. had camp set up by 3 at the paradise point state park. Me and my fishing partner were bored so we went to rainier,oregon to launch. We got the boat in the water and as mt partner was walking down he ran into a friend who was getting off of a guides boat. The acquaintance did not get a fish and asked if we had room on my boat , I don't mind ( plus this was my first time fishing the mouth of the cowlitz using wobblers) if he comes so off we go. The current was pretty slow ,but we talked and fished until 7:30 p.m. before we called it quits. did not get a bite ,but did have salmon passing by hitting our lines. Woke up at 3:45 on wed. morning and was gone by 4:15 to go join the royal fleet. was able to get a pretty good sized king into the boat , lost another before the current really slowed down and my motion sickness kicked in. We loaded the boat and went to bob's sporting goods to spend 70$ on a couple new wobblers. While we were loading the boat we talked to an older guy who had caught 4 the day before and he told us how he was rigging up ( giant tip) . Went back to camp even more determined that the next day would reap rewards. Woke up on thursday at 3AM left bt 330 in the water by 430 to rejoin the armada Had 1 that straightened the ring on a brand new clancy's wobbler ( it was the ring that connected the hook to the wobbler) did get another early on that was about 12-14 lbs. Went back to camp tired as crap so went to sleep and woke up at 4 the next morning. We launched again to rejoin her majesties royal fleet. Seen a boat in the line upriver from us that pulled 7 out , we only had 1 hookup and lost it by the boat (barbless hooks). We both agree that we are to close to the washington shore , so we mark a waypoint out in 55 ft. of water where we was able to see some fish on my new garmin 741xs ( this fishfinder does NOT lie). We go back to camp and go back to sleep to wake up at 4 once again to redo what we have been doing all the previous days . I hook into an awesome fish and when i go to start the motor to get away from the armada so i can fight the fish my motor barely turns over (*#$& my battery is dead) I end up losing the fish and get a really expensive ticket from the columbia county sheriff"s office for not having my boat registration and not having a charged battery. I am DONE at this point!!! In the morning we head back home , we are both a little unhappy with the way it all turned out. Oh yeah iforgot to mention the spring in the recoil of my kicker that last morning broke and the rope would not recoil on my honda kicker. I had fun ,but it always could have been a little better.
