I will be there around 6:30am, will be in a light blue/grey WRX. Once Im on the water I will be on Ch. 69 on VHF

I'll be there. shooting to be on the beach around 630. Grey Subaru Ascent/Blue Hobie Compass. Planning on dropping a crab pot south of the rock and then just hitting bottom fish.

Quick question for anyone. Do we need a parking pass to launch from the beach at PC?
I've purchased the annual pass the last two years but don't have one this year. I've heard buzz that the pass is not required if you're launching and parking on the beach.
Just want to be sure of the rules.
Thanks.

Three trips with no pass this year. YET. I get it for fishing the Nehalem in the fall. You are good parking on the beach
-
Excellent. Thanks.

If you park in the Pelican parking lot, you need a pass. If you drive on the beach and park there, you don’t need a pass. I verified that through Tillamook Co. shortly after buying my annual pass again.

Solid. Thanks James.

Anybody have a coho report?
-
I landed about 2pm yesterday, and checker said a total of 15 coho had been brought in. I marked tons between buoy and 160' mark. Just not many biters.
-
I talked with the fish checker.
He said half a dozen so far, but I also talked with another kayaker and 4 of them caught 5.
No salmon love for me today.
I kept 3 rockfish.
-
off the water at about 1pm. Fish checker said like 12-15 kept coho (I don't remember the exact number.
Rockfish on the other hand were biting as were the little ling. Between th 3rd and 4th had 59 mixed rockfish with a good number in the 17-19" range, 13 ling mostly right around or just under the length limit and 3 cabs.
Winds came up around 1130 and made things a bit more sporty. That may have been why some many of the dories left early

I was part of that 5, at 10:30 exactly the wind gust picked up, and it was a washing machine between the rock and the cape, we should have went around, but we limited on rockfish and 1 ling.

Kemfish was on it on the 4th. I was fishing near him most of the day and he outfished me tremendously. Went home with a 25” ling, 3 ack rock and a crab. Released an orange rock since I wasn’t confident identifying it.
Wind came up brutally like others said. All the dorys coming back at once from the north should have been a sign. Great day on the water though with about the easiest surf launch and landing you could hope for in oregon.
There were guys launching a tandem island and fishing. Made me jealous and wish I had mine. Would have made that sporty wind better!

We went to the north side and the tandem island was near us, when the wind picked up they left real quick. Photo somewhat shows the sporty condition on the northside of the rock, but gopro really makes everything looks flat.
It was nice meeting all of you guys.
