With a good looking day coming up this weekend, I'm curious if anyone has looked to see if the Fogarty launch conditions have improved at all.

Prefer to go out of there as opposed to dealing with the Depoe launch on a weekend (even a winter one)

I think I may end up being the 2026 Fogarty guinea pig.  Conditons look pretty good and good high tide will help, just need to call the day at 1400 or so to make sure we have some extra water.

parking at Depoe just annoys me and with the first nice day of the year on a weekend, I suspect there will be a lot of rabid fisherman waiting to launch.  Fogarty is nice to avoid that plus we get a little bonus workout on the way out

For sure let us know what Fogarty is like. It's amazing how much it can change from year to year. I haven't had any super bad experiences at Depoe, but always more people there than Fogarty. I'm hoping to get in better shape this year, Fogarty could be quite the workout for me, Depoe is a lot less effort.I also found some really productive spots south of Depoe last year, but my biggest lings ever are still from North of Fogarty.
A day without fishing probably wouldn't kill me,
but why risk it?

  Do you mind another to tag along?  I was originally planning for PC on Saturday but the wind forecast continues to get worse there compared to further south...I haven't launched from Fogarty but have wanted to for some time.

I don't mind if that's where I end up.  Still eyeballing sunset bay too.

FYI if you're not aware.  Fogarty had a change in both last year that made it pretty unusable for kayaks.  I was hoping someone has looked at this year to see if any of the big winter tides or storms have cleared it out any.  If we plan Fogarty be prepared to move to Depoe if launch conditions aren't right

I'll decide sometime tomorrow which direction to go.
