cheers, roger

that would be excellent and I think a bit early....I wonder if it's a bit like when Darlings Marina on Siltcoos posts that coho are being caught on about October 3.  lol

They're definitely in.
I caught 109 in 2 hours this afternoon

Haven't fished herring yet, but I'm considering trying to make it Saturday.  Worth it to bring a couple crab pots too?

excellent, getting lots of good reports now, windy Tue and Wed, I'm planning to get out Thursday.   cheers, roger

Easiest herring fishing I've ever had was this morning. Soon as I launched from the non-motorized ramp at South Beach Marina, I marked schools of herring in 9-10 ft of water straight out from the beach. Sat there and caught my limit within two hours. Never had to move anywhere else. BIG herring this year, mostly purples and even some 11+ inch blacks! Smattering of blues and greens, but not many. I didn't pick up any "exotics", but other guys I've talked to have caught sardines, Pacific mackerel, and even a ratfish. Go get em!
