First trip out this fall. Pretty slow going all morning but managed to get one to the boat. Great morning. 74 degrees at 6am and no wind. 

Very nice.
We're going to need the detail though
I'm looking at breaking my Columbia cherry and hit Austin Point this weekend.

congrats!

I don't think you can make a mistake with any of those. Fishing was really slow at Austin yesterday so I was just lucky. I heard rumors that it had been pretty good earlier in the week, so go figure. I like the 1-hour drive vs the 2-hour drive so will probably fish Austin on Sunday and may sneak out this afternoon and try some wobbler fishing on the outgoing tide just for grins.

Went back to AP yesterday and it was very slow. Did 6 hours trolling and only saw 3 fish landed. I hear Astoria was on fire again yesterday. May go there Sunday.

We ended up going to PC on Saturday. My first-timer buddy got sea sick pretty much as soon as we launched. Started trolling near the rock and came upon a school of rock fish so thick that I actually snagged one on the back with salmon gear :-) Then we proceeded west to around 170 FOW and I got a nice size coho only to have him jump out of the net :-( By this time my buddy was miserable so we ended up hitting one of the bottom fish spots on the way in and he got rewarded with a very nice size ling. 5 minutes later his rod buried in the water and I thought it was a halibut but it ended up a monster female ling.  I quickly caught my limit of lings and we headed home. Landing was uneventful but beach was full of people and kids were amazed with big lingcods. I want to go fishing again :-)
