Anyone else looking at conditions and considering chasing salmon this weekend? PC or Depot/Fogarty. Looks fishable and if I read the regulations correctly it is two salmon, wild or hatchery, but only 1 Chinook?
No wind up the Columbia this weekend which is also very tempting. Buddy smoked 'em at the mouth of Drano this morning in a PB.

I'm definitely looking at a Fogarty run this Saturday. It'll either be there or up around the Duwamish looking for pinks. Still trying to decide between the two, but with the non-select coho season (and the option of one chinook) it's a pretty easy choice.
I bet the fishing will be excellent around Drano as well though. Personally, I'm planning to head up there after work one (or two) days next week. The weekend crowds when the fishing is good is a little much for me.

i'm planning on Depoe for Sunday. hope to see many of you!
tight lines!!

Would be nice to make it to Depoe sunday but family duties call...taking Monday off to fish but looks like the ocean will be unsettled. Thinking maybe Drano, but have never done that rodeo OR mouth of the lewis/bubble since the big river is closed.

planning on Fogarty on Saturday and PC on Sunday. Both days look nice
Planning to do some bottom fishing mainly, but going to have the salmon tackle out for a while too. Have only brought one small wild fish to the boat this year. Need to fill up some those empty tag slots.

Depoe Bay
Out at 170-180 there was a lot of seaweed about even with Government Point.
Lost the first two fish.
Went out to 200 feet and the water cleaned up, no bites.
Went back to 180 and got one, an hour later the other.
Hoochie behind chrome/green shortbus flasher.
Going again tomorrow.

Thanks that sounds like a blast. I am trying to angle for the ocean Sunday, but with 8 1 week old piglets it is hard to get away. Going to the mouth of the Lewis in the morning. It has been pretty crazy good and a lot closer. Look forward to more pics

I hope I wasn’t the only yakker at Depoe today
-
Nice work!! I opted for the Lewis and Columbia. 1 for 7 >:(. Lost two BIG up river brights right at the boat. 1 smallish coho to show for 7 hours of grinding. Today was the best bite I have seen just up river from the Lewis. Fish on all day.

Fished Depoe Friday PM, Fogarty Sat, and PC Sunday. No salmon for me, but caught a ton of rockfish, several ling a couple Cabs and a Halibut. My first ever Halibut even if it wasn't huge, Makes. my weekend.
PC was stuffed with rockfish. Having a hard time even getting a lure to the bottom for kings. Sand was also very soft, lots of doroes getting stuck on the way out
My SUV smells really bad right now, time to start cleaning some stuff
-
Congratulations on the halibut.
PC or Depoe?
It's on my kayak fishing bucket list.

2.5-3 miles NW off Fogarty. Complete Luck. SDOR and I were fishing an area he'd caught some big ling at before and this thing showed up.

I took this pic yesterday (9-10) of a couple of kayaks heading out of Depoe Bay. So flat! Hope you both did well. Love the lights!

Went out of Depoe on Sunday and what a beautiful day it was! Silver bite was moderate, went 1 for 4, native 30 inch 10# coho at around 190' on herring.
Bottom bite was also moderate with lots of underlings. Quite the whale show coming back 8)

Took my daughter out in the tandem at Depoe yesterday. Got 1 takedown on the salmon rod but that was it (we didn't go out very far). Bottom fishing was a little slow for her, unfortunately, but she enough to have a good time. The real stars of the day were the multiple close encounters with whales! We also saw porpoises and the usual seals and sea lions, sea birds, etc.
My wife caught some really nice 19-20" rockfish, 28 and 30" lingcod, and the biggest cabezon I've ever seen (pushing 30" - released). Oh yeah, and she saw what she believes was either great white or a salmon shark breach about 100 yards away from us - you should have seen the look on her face!
I go out there to fish, but some days are so much fun I'm just happy to be out there. And the last time I took my daughter out she outfished me pretty good, so she'll be alright.
