Ex-Keizerite Wayne Parker shows off a prototype “Blinkie” lure.
of attention,” Parker adds.
Over recent years trolling
for salmon has experienced an
explosion in the development
and production of: fl ashers,
dodgers, Mylar tapes and UV
colors to attract them.
Walk into the fi shing section
of any sporting goods store and
become mesmerized by the
brilliant color combinations
of a myriad of attractors and
spinners.
Parker and his Good Day
Fishing--south of Keizer--on
Broadway Street, has been on
the cutting edge of this new
technology.
Good
Day
spinners,
components and fl ashers can
be found in tackle boxes from
Alaska to California.
Parker has built a business
on his knowledge of color
contrasts and what professional
guides and anglers have found
that work best to catch fi sh.
Go to sporting goods shows
from Southern Washington
to Northern California and
you can’t miss his booth with
curious anglers crowded around
to see what’s new.
“First, you have to catch
the fi sherman,” Parker explains,
with a wide grin. “But, then
you better have a dependable
product that catches fi sh.”
Most salmon anglers in the
ocean catch their fi sh in the fi rst
50 feet of the water column.
Many popular colors can be
productive. But, what about
those days when salmon are
feeding at 100 feet? Many colors
disappear at that depth. Red-
-a popular color for salmon--
turns black. Some colors will
change, or disappear on those
dark, dreary, Oregon days. Same
when your favorite river estuary
is dirty due to recent rains.
Parker has taken fl asher making
to the next level for those dark
water situations. The “Blinkie”
is not only a pyramid-type
fl asher, with choices of bright,
contrasting,
light-refl ecting
colors, but has incorporated a
tiny LED cylinder light in the
middle. Tiny batteries provide
hours of blinking.
We were trolling the Buoy
10 fi shery out of Astoria on one
of those dark, gloomy coastal
days. It felt like you could
almost reach up and squeeze
the moisture out of low moving
clouds. We started fi shing at legal
light. It was so dark I couldn’t
see the tip of my rod. Don was
using a prototype Blinkie. He
hooked four–lost three–landed
one, and I could barely see the
splash of the fi sh.
It was impressive. No doubt
about it, salmon were attracted
to the Blinkie in dark water
conditions.
Clouds lifted, sun came
out, the Blinkie seemed to
lose its advantage. Different
combinations seem to work as
well.

some fi sh catching products?

The McNary High School
varsity track and fi eld teams
fared well in an icebreaker
meet Wednesday, March 18.
“The freshmen we have on
the teams did quite well. For a
fi rst meet, they adjusted from
middle school to high school
without much trouble,” said
Frank Gauntz, McNary head
coach.
The Celt’s season begins
in earnest with a home meet
vs. Sprague High School
Wednesday, April 1.
“As long as we work hard
and stay focused, we’ll be in
the right spot. But, it’s early
and we have a lot of heavy
legs still,” said senior Kyle
Torres.
Torres took wins in the 200
meter and 400 meter sprints
with times of 22.67 and
50.51 seconds, respectively.
He was also part of winning
relay teams in the 4x100 and
4x400. Torres, Austin Brown,
Brendan Van Voorhis and Ri-
ley Moore won the 4x400 in
3:37.12. The same four Celts
running different legs of the
4x100 relay won in 42.24.
“Kyle has put himself in
a good position to do some
things as have Dani Duran
and Tevita Ma’ake with work
in the offseason,” Gauntz said.
Lady Celt Hali Thurston
said relays are her main focus
this season along with the 200
and 400 meter sprints.
“We had a lot of success
last year with the relays and
we want to keep that go-
ing,” she said. “There’s a lot of
young girls that are going to
surprise people.”
The girls relay team took
second in the 4x100 at the
icebreaker meet and third in
the 4x400.
Danielle Duran, a compo-
nent of both relay teams, took
fi rst in the 400 meter sprint
with a time of 62.98. Thur-
ston took third in the same
race.
“Actually, on the girls
side, it’s really balanced,” said
Gauntz. “We have three jav-
elin throwers on the girls side
that are comparable to Sta-
cey Titchenal a few years ago.
They may not be there yet,
but they could develop by
the end of the season. Deanna
Saukov in discus had good
throw in the icebreaker and
Alyssa Looney had good long
jump one inch off her per-
sonal record last year,” Gauntz
said.
Saukov won the discus
with a throw of 92-11 as
McNary swept the top three
spots in the event. Cambrian
Partridge and Kyla Duncan
took second and third, re-
spectively.
The girls also swept the
javelin. Jasmine Ernest won
106-00, Kyla Duncan took
second and Lauren Loosli
took third.
On the boys side of things,
the team lost several of its top
jumpers to graduation, but
Torres felt athletes moving up
to varsity – and some new ad-
ditions – boded well for the
season.
“It will be exciting to see
who fi lls those spots and we
have a lot of young kids who
can step up,” Torres said.
One of those who looks
ready to fi ll some big shoes is
sophomore Antoine Wilder,
who took fi rst in the 110
meter and 300 meter hurdles
with times of 17.85 and 44.96.
Daniel Brattain, who gradu-
ated last year, dominated the
conference in those events
the past couple of years.
“Antoine came out and ran
a really smooth race and we
have a lot of young hurdlers
coming out,” Gauntz said.
Other top fi nishers in the
icebreaker meet were: Van
Voorhis in the boys 100 me-
ter in 11.41; Kailey Doutt in
the 3,000 meter in 12:24.36;
Gabby Jackson in the shot
put with a mark of 27-10;
Amanda Vergara in the pole
vault clearing 8-0; and Loo-
ney in long jump with a mark
of 16-07.50.
