Salmon Fishing Tillamook Bay 10-18-10

Marvin — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:39:54 +0000

I just had to tell this story, I was fishing on Tillamook Bay in Oregon for king salmon on 10-18-10.

My clients and I left the Garibaldi boat dock around 7:30am. We headed out on the bay toward the jetty, I dropped my crab pots on the north side of the South jetty over by the number 6 marker. Then, we headed back towards the ghost hole. We fished there for a few hours with no luck. We decided to go check our crab pots, we had pretty good luck on the crabs.

After I put fresh bait in the crab pots, I headed out toward the tower and fished there for a few hours, not much going on there.

I decided to go across the jetty to the north side of the south jetty and troll back toward my crab pots.

I got half way back with one of the rods hammered to the bay, we set the hook and fish on then, I looked at the other rod and it was also hammered to the water 2 fish on!

When we got the Salmon close to the boat I thought the lines were tangled, I got the Salmon in the net, and started to look at the lines and guess what? The salmon had both baits in it’s mouth. That’s right he hit both rods and all 4 hooks were in its mouth, but this was one nice 35 pound Salmon.

Buoy 10 salmon fishing

Marvin — Wed, 20 May 2009 02:54:28 +0000

One of the best areas to troll is near buoy 10, which is at the mouth of the Columbia River as all the fish have to come past this to get upriver on the incoming tide.
I fish this in mid August.
we are going to alowed 3 coho this year. If you want good action for salmon then give me a call or come on down .

The Sturgeon fishing is starting to heat up in the gorge on the Columbia river.
The water is warming up. There are even a few over size sturgeon being caught!
beware the Columbia river is fast.
start watching for shad. fresh shad should be a sure catch.
If you don’t have any shad then use smelt and sand shrimp.

Columbia River Shad Fishing

Justin — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:02:30 +0000

In may and june over a milion shad come up the Columbia river.These shad are fun to catch on light tackle, I like to call them pour man steelhead.

Pound for pound they are one of the best biting fish the Columbia river can offer.

Shad fishing is a great time for kids because there is alot of action, Although i dont care to eat shad, I like to fill me freezer with them for Sturgeon bait and Crab bait.

To fish for the shad you fish in about 10 – 15 feet of fast moving water.I like to use a little tiny spinner for these shad. It is amazing we can put a 5lb shad on hold to use for Sturegon bait.

I use a 10 odd hook right through the middle of the shads head when fishing for Surgeon.

So if you are looking for excitement on the Columbia river may and june is the time to do so.

steelhead fishing on the Columbia River

Marvin — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:43:29 +0000

Columbia River Steelhead,
The Columbia River summer Steelhead runs June through September in the Portland Oregon area.
With July being my favrrot time to fish for them.
I fish on the Columbia river right below the dam in 12 to 15 foot of water.
I like to get in some prety fast water so my #5 spinner blade is moving good.
These fish range from 5 to 20 pounds and are a great fighting fish on light tackle.

Steelhead is a very acrobatic and impressive fish. They are wonderful tasting and guaranteed to please even the most discriminating dinner guest.
Watch the fish counts and give me a call for best dates.

How to measure Sturgeon in Oregon and Washington

Marvin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:29:02 +0000

Sturgeon AS of Jan. 1, 2009, the new way of measuring sturgeon to keep will take effect statewide.
Under the new rules, sturgeon will be measured from the tip of the nose to the fork in the tail (rather than the tip of the tail).
The resulting allowed retention measurements are slightly shorter than the old method. As a result, the 2009 slot measurement for sturgeon caught in the Columbia River downstream of The Dalles Dam to the Wauna Power lines, including tributaries, will be 38 to 54 inches FORK LENGTH. Upstream of The Dalles Dam to the Oregon/Washington border, the fork length for sturgeon retention will be 43 to 54 inches beginning on Jan. 1. Below the Wauna power lines, the fork length will likely change to 41-54 inches after April 2009, although those rules have not yet been adopted (see emergency rule changes for exact dates as the season approaches for sturgeon fishing below the Wauna power lines). Remember, all of these figures are simple conversions of the old method of measuring sturgeon. It does not mean you can keep smaller fish, only that the method of measuring “keepers” has changed. So, from Jan. 1 on,
Good luck on the columbia river should be a gteat year.
Look for lot of action with the shad come in on the river.
