Anyone hit Tillamook Bay recently?  I'm thinking of doing a little bay tour this weekend, and was wondering what the crowd factor was like.  Has it gotten crazy out there yet?  I am hoping for mellowness.

It's not too bad.  Expect more people inside when the swells are up but it hasn't become a zoo yet.  Yet....

I have been fishing it in the sled, and it is slow.  4 wild hoho's to the boat and 2 nooks (18 & 23lb) for 3 days of fishing (for 2 rods) isn't steller by any means.  My advice is to get away from the "Monkey see Monkey do" crowds at the usual spots (jetty,coast guard,ghost holes). Learn the channels/slots in the middle bay and the fish per boat ratio goes up drastically, also its better "yak water".

Listen to this man, he knows what he's talking about. 
Can I borrow your charts for a couple of months Ron?   :laugh:
