I heard that the "swing plank " was removed several weeks ago by a P**sed off boater . Don't know if it has been replaced yet.

It was probably ripped off from some of those nasty storms earlier in the summer. I don't see why a "pissed off boater" would do that this time of year, for what? Even later in the season I don't see it happening, there's just not a combat fishery for salmon in boats or off the piers up there anymore. Back 5 years, oh yeah, could have been possible, but he would have been bombarded big time! And a chance at a king has been available off the north pier for a good two weeks now.

Checked this morning and the boards still have not been replaced.

That sucks Shawn...you know these hard N winds have kings off that river mouth, but at the same time, I wouldn't try to get out on the north pier right now:eek:!

[Slodrift]

Only sucks if you don't have a boat :D and your right you wouldn't want to try it with this wind we are getting now, wave's are rolling right over top, we will be hitting it this week though.

should be there tonight off the south pier till morning

Are the planks gone or are they just hanging in the water? The boards have been just tied up there for a few years now im guessing they just came un-done because like i said the second board going out was just wrapped around with the chain through the steel......just curious

[Slodrift]

Both planks are gone.

[myers0729]

are the chains still there or are they gone also.....? Does anyone have any plans to put them back up if so let me know and i can give a hand.

[Slodrift]

Everything is gone, have to start from scratch.

[ausable_steelhead]

Somebody will fix them, don't worry. Let me know(pm) if any of you guys hit anything, I already miss that pier.

Randy hit the South pier for a couple hours this morning before sun up with no luck, three other guy's out and they had the same luck, no Walleye or Kings. Boats are still going way out, no one trolling the mouth yet, I couldn't make it this morning but will probably try tonite, got the taxi ready to get to the north side.

That means nothing, the south pier SUCKS compared to the north. There have been a FEW days in the last 5 years I've seen better action on that pier then the north, but they're very rare. Get out to that north pier.....
