Anyone else gonna coastie Memorial Day weekend?

There is a ramp a few blocks south at the  end of Oak Grove blvd. 

Fished GR Saturday for the first time. Nice place. I had one hook-up and subsequently had a knot fail and bye bye fishy. Still fun though.

Managed to forget my cart in Bend and being I'm packing a F-N-D a ramp is kinda necessary. I may be able to hijack a long board skateboard though

you can back right down to the water at the launch at Oak Grove blvd and tie off to the brush while you park.

From my work at Worldmark I saw a few kayaks out in Depoe Bay in the late morning yesterday (Sunday).  You hung around the bell bouy and a bit to the north towards north point

How did we DO, guys?   It looked like you were only out there a few hours (which is what I usually do, don't like spening the whole day on the salt).   

Waterman,

I'll see u this am down by GR.

We did okay. It was a bit on the slow side and the wind waves sucked. I'll post up some more details later when I get home.

One 18" Black, a 19" and 26" cabbie, and a 22" and 23" ling. Only kept the big boys. Got on the water around 8:30 or so and off the water around 5:30. Not too thrilled about what some lings that got away did to my big hammers but that's a topic for another post, fishing calls and I must answer.

Yeah the wind waves sucked but we still had a good time. J-fek had a pretty good morning but I'll let him speak to that.
I has a couple lings 18-20 inches. Ended up with a porker 25 in Cabby and 4 rockfish.
I tried using buzz bombs for the rockfish and they worked. All of my rockfish and one of my small lings were on buzz bombs.

Good job,guys...wish  I coulda made it. Joe, I would have been chummng for sure!Way to hang in there and get 'em.Hope to try that in the future(assuming theres hope of calmer water)

Nice meeting you today, Waterman. How'd you do back downstream?

Nice meeting you as well Threecreeks.  I didn't have any luck downstream, but I did see a few more fish down there.  For some reason they weren't biting what I had to offer.  Maybe I'll try prawns next time.  Let us know when you're back in town and we can try again.  Have a safe trip back to Bend.
