Sure.  2 ounce leadhead, motor oil worm.  Drop to bottom and jig it.  Catch fish.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

I can handle that!

Now if I could get my hand on one of those $3000 imaging sonars to find structure....

That's what the lead is for.

If you feel sand when the lead hits the bottom, you're not on structure. 
If you feel a hard surface, your'e on structure.  Keep jigging.  Mr. Ling should be along soon.

You make it sound so difficult....

I figure if yer not getting snagged up and losing a jig or three, your in the wrong spot.

Or you may be in crab/flounder territory.  I wish we could use two rods in the ocean just for the ability to hunt flounder.  Figure two rigups with bait slightly different than each other, dropped off either side of the yak for a drift may score some flatties.

This is very true!

Our you'd discover that your twice as hung up - knowing my luck, I'd snag on sand.

Anyone interested in splitting a site?

I've got a site reserved for Friday and Saturday Night.  You are welcome to split it with me.

[jself]

I'll split it with you.

[pelagic paddler]

Looks like I will be splitting my spot with yakinitup. I'll be returning the favor as he picked up the tab for a spot last year.

The ladies want to know if there is good beach access at Depoe Bay.

No beach access at Depoe Bay.
They'd have to settle for Fogarty Creek to the north (beautiful stretch of beach) or Otter Rock to the South.

The very north end of Beverly Beach (Otter Rock as spot said) is an awesome beach to hang out on.

Ok, noted.  How is the river fishing at the campground?
