SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2016 3 C Tonight’s STEP meeting to discuss fishing, boating tips Targeting salmon in the Siuslaw River is the theme at the tonight’s meeting of the Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP). The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Elks Lodge on 12th Street in Florence and the pub- lic is invited to attend. Ryan Hatfield, owner/opera- Mapleton from 1C scored in a game. The Eagles kicked off, recov- ered their own onside kick and scored. Yoncalla was able to repeat that process three more times before the Sailors got the ball. A fumble ended up in Yoncalla’s hands, with the Eagles scoring Siuslaw from 1C respectively, and freshman Bryn Clement finishing seventh with a personal best time of 24:33.9. Though the Lady Vikings fin- ished closer to the middle of the pack in team scoring, so many underclassmen setting PRs on a course known for slow times ATHLETE tor of Grey Ghost Guide Service and Bobby Jensen, Jr., of Y-Marina, will share the podium at the meeting. Hatfield, who guides in Alaska in the summer and fish- es for fall salmon and winter steelhead in the Siuslaw River, will share his strategies for hooking up. He plans to discuss trolling tactics, share brining methods and talking about preparation that is important before even getting on the water. He will also share some tips for bobber fishing and plans to bring an assortment of rods and setups. He is also planning to bring his new boat to showcase that night. Jensen will be discussing boating options and how the type of boat can affect fishing. Some of the considerations include offshore bracket vs. transom, aluminum vs. fiber- glass boats. He will also talk about boat- ing etiquette and may have some surprises up his sleeve for the evening. Jensen grew up in Brookings and boasts that he was a com- mercial fisherman at age nine, fishing with his father. He moved to Florence three years ago and loves all things boats. Prior to the talk, there will be a short business meeting, including hatchery updates, work parties and fishing reports.

But the Sailors had far from given up, dominating the game from then until late in the third quarter. “If not for that four-touchdown cushion we had, I’m not sure we would have gotten out of there with a win,’ said Yoncalla coach Matt Bragg. “They just kept bat- tling.” By halftime, the Sailors had closed the gap to 74-48 after run- ning 17 plays in the second quar- ter and rushing for 219 yards. Mapleton scored 40 points in the second period, beginning with a 21-yard run by senior quarter- back Hunter Simington, who also scored on the conversion. With 7:15 on the clock, Packebush breached the end zone from 43 yards out. Senior Nick Smith scored the conversion on a pass reception from Simington. Packebush scored twice more before the half, on a 5-yard carry and 50-yard run, with sophomore Evan Moso snagging a 53-yard bomb from Simignton for Mapleton’s final score of the half. In the third quarter, Simington connected with Moso on two 50- yard touchdown passes. The Sailors were only outscored 34-24 in the second half. With the Eagles leading 100- 64 to start the fourth quarter, Packebush muscled his way into the end zone with 6:08 on the clock, scoring the record-break- ing combined-scoring total for the final touchdown of the game — and a combined score of 180 points. The previous record was set in 2012, during the Triad vs. Elkton game (172 points total). Though it was a loss for the Sailors on the scoreboard, the effort was a winning one in the eyes of Mapleton fans. Friday, the Sailors will be on the road at North Douglas. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m. bodes well for Siuslaw and its defending 4A state champion, senior Celie Mans. On Saturday, Mans finished second to Bandon senior Sailor Hutton, who finished the 5K in 19:02; Mans clocked 19:26.4. However, in the coming weeks, Mans will be competing on courses that have been good to her, including the Paul Mariman Invitational in Philomath this weekend — a course Mans has dominated for the last three years. She’ll run the George Fox Classic after that, a course that brought her a season-best time last year (18:30.7), with the Far West District meet soon after, followed by state. Along the way, there’s no telling how much this year’s group of freshmen will improve. And not just on the girls’ team. Siuslaw’s boys team also posts a roster dominated by talented freshmen who made their pres- ence known at Woahink. Led by senior Jack Pickell and junior Issac Griffes, the Vikings had the highest 4A finish at Saturday’s meet and sixth overall in a strong field, beating out Philomath, Marshfield, North Bend, Brookings-Harbor and Elmira. Griffes had the team’s best fin- ish, coming in at 17:48.6. He was followed by Pickell (18:05.0), and freshmen Brendon Jensen (18:23.3), Kiger Johnson (18:35.3) and Jonah Jarman (19:00.6) claiming the team’s 3, 4 and 5 spots, respectively. Central Catholic junior Cameron Thompson took the individual title in 16:40.5, a pre- cursor to the day’s team title. Saturday, Siuslaw will com- pete at the Paul Mariman Invitational in Philomath.

COOS COUNTY LAKES PONDS: Warmwater fish, AND trout As water temperatures drop this fall warmwater fish will become more active all day long. Bass will be found in deeper water associated with cover, like weed lines or other structure. Plastic worms, shal- low crankbaits, top water lures, and spinner baits are good to use for bass. The fall is typically a good time of the year to catch yellow perch using worms or small jigs fished near the bottom. Rainbow trout are sched- uled to be stocked in several Coos County lakes in early to mid-October. Due to extreme- ly low water levels, Lower Empire Lake will not be stocked. Trout that were des- tined for Lower Empire Lake will be reallocated to Upper Empire and Butterfield lakes. Currently, fishing for trout has been decent in Eel Lake.
