Pacific City or Buoy 10 Sunday 8.10.14

Hey, I am really excited to get out and fish Sunday, I was thinking either Buoy 10 on the Washington side or Pacific City. Is anyone going out to either fishery on Sunday who wouldn't mind me tagging along? I haven't done much with my kayak yet, but I am confident in my ability to learn quickly.

If I can get my honeydo list done I may hit PC and I think BWon was trying as well don't know what day for him but Sunday looks to be the better of the two.

With the current forecast I would be shocked if there weren't quite a few kayak fishermen out at PC Sunday. So don't worry, you'll have company. 

  Odds are pretty good I will be on the lower Colombia this weekend. Should be pretty crazy with all the weekend warriors out there. Definitely an early morning show.
   I will be on the Washington side above the bridge.

I'm camping at woods and headed out Saturday and Sunday morning at first light I'll be on channel 69.

Awesome, I think I will be camping at Whalen. Is everyone fishing for salmon or bottom fishing? It sounds like trolling has been good. I have only done bottom fishing from the kayak. What all do you need to troll? Delta Diver/ weights (what size), Flasher and mooching rig etc. Feel free to weigh in. I can get around really well in my kayak, I am just relatively unfamiliar with the tackle. I can also research elsewhere if there are some good sites.

Thank you All so much!

There are tons of coho out off the coast of pretty much everywhere.  Troll plug-cut herring, brads cut plugs or spoons behind flashers.  Troll hoochies behind dodgers.  I use lead most of the time but divers work just as well.  Get your gear to troll between about 10 to 25 ft down and you're in the game.  Troll a little faster than you would for chinook - about 2 to 3 mph.  Check out ifish.net for rigging ideas.

Thanks for all the information. Hopefully I will run into someone who doesn't mind having a tagalong at Pacific City. Yakore, I will hit you up if you are out there.

Two weekends ago I was using 10 oz of weight on a slider with about a 2 foot leader from the snap swivel to the flasher. Then, a 42-46 inch leader to my herring from the flasher.  However, it only seemed to hook wild ones.   I have an 8 foot rod, so I am close to the maximum in overall leaderage (new word I just invented) I can use and still net the fish myself with the combined leaders and flasher length. As Rawkfish said, 2-3 mph was the ticket.
