Pacific city, Whalen island, or netarts?

Thinking of going out for a bit of fishing and or crabbing Friday... Be my first time fishing salt... Anyone want to join? Would be leaving from amity....
Advice on what works for setup? Will prob be using a hand line....
Thanks...

Looks like I may go hit hagg lake instead lol

Those are some interesting choices... 

Whalen Island and Netarts would be good for crabbing but not so much for fishing right now. 
PC would be good for both but the depth might make hand lining a challenge.

Might I suggest the jetties at Tillamook Bay or Newport?  Lots of rockfish, greenlings and lings to be had around high tide and crabbing can be good in the bays.

If you're really looking to fish and don't care about crab, head to Depoe Bay.  Lots of fish available, even in the shallower areas.

Oh ok:) thank you for the info!

Several people going to Depoe Bay tomorrow.  I am taking my father in law.  His first trip on the salt, too.  We have to head back to PDX at about noon so it will be a short day.

hmm what time you guys going?

I am leaving PDX at 6 am.  Get there when we get there and launch ASAP.   Usually most people get there around 7:30 or 8:00. 

Best way to guarantee great conditions, schedule an am dentist appointment... Have fun out there and post pictures for those of us who need some vicarious play!

Gotcha... Would be hard pressed to do that one... Still need to go buy a fish license this year.... Haven't been fishing in a long time....
