I think you should anyway since you'll be doing the documentation. We'll want to coordinate when we determine where people are heading off too so we can ferry you around for filming.

People can park in the park area, or, on 1st Street, which is just a short block away from the park. We'll meet and pass out garbage bags and disperse, and then meet up at noon for a potluck at the park and to take care of the trash bags.

I'm not sure how many people are bringing boats. The tides will be good to launch at Cady Park. We can have people find boats to share, or drive to shore spots.

My thought is for people to go out in small groups to some of the heavy use areas. Like the area off of Lowell-Snohomish Rd/82 Ave SE. Or the train bridge just outside of town, or down Shorts Road to the Thomas Eddy area.

No boat count. I'm sure our shore bound members would be very happy to find open seats. This day is meant to both fishing and clean-up.

with the way the water is coming down, I should have my boat there.... Prop boat so will be staying on lower river but If Oneshot needs to be other places, I can fit 1 guy in my boat to pull plugs... I don't have a lot of extra gear but if you bring your own gear and plugs, we can scout for garbage and fish below.

Weather is looking good.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

So I wasn't sure on if my 12 yr old daughter would be making it this trip, but her mom says she made the commitment so she is going.... How many of you will have kids there helping with the clean up? I could still have 1 more person aboard my boat if someone needed a space..... I will try to have a thermos of Hot chocolate, but cant guarantee she wont drink it all on the boat... :)

It sounds like we've got the Snoho covered but is anyone going to be up on the Sky? I was planning to hit up higher up(Sultan - Ben Howard, Lewis - Tualco, etc.) because there are some heavily fished and trashed out areas up there. But there is no way I can hit a section on my drift boat and make it back to Cady by noon. I may have to take pictures of our efforts higher up and send them to Oneshot or Mike for the scrap book. My other option is to leave the boat at home and walk the prison hole area. Probably plenty of trash in that area too.

You could definitely do that. This is a very flexible day and if that works better for you more power to you. If you do swing by Cady around 6:15 look for me and I'll give you some freebies since you won't be back for the noon pot luck.

yes, be best to ride or at least start out with you guys, tides are favorable for heading up early and down late.. I also may just hand one of my cams off to a friend in another boat too for multiples.

Also I'm bringing a friend who is die hard on helping clean up above all else and needs a ride, chongo? he take my seat?

Gringo, i ping ya offline.. well, offline from this online phone and internet chat and discussion type meeting [razz]

I'll take a seat with someone if there's one available, if not, no biggie. My 8 month pregnant wife and 2 year old just bailed on me, so I'll be showing up solo.

My wife and daughter (4yo) are coming later for the picnic, but not for the cleanup.
I have 5 life jackets in my boat - if I have less than that in my boat I can loan you one.
