Ilwaco Salmon

We had a four man crew at Ilwaco this weekend Jay R., Mike R., Jeff N, and myself.
The overall weather and water conditions were good but the wind and chop did pick up in the afternoons. There was lots of life near shore this weekend, tons of bait(anchovies), thousands of birds, wales, and porpoises.
The overall salmon fishing was ok to Good . The morning and evening  bites were good near the north beach while the midday seemed very slow.
We had our best action on  herring and divers but also heard of others doing well on anchovies.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 



 

Neah bay salmon and bottom fish

We had a four man crew at Neah bay this weekend. The overall weather conditions were on the poor side.  Strong tides contributed to the ever changing  ocean conditions, one minute the ocean was nice and calm and the next it was down-rite nasty. We had a mix of hot and slow fishing this weekend but finished with limits of both salmon and rockfish each day. when the bite was on it was fast Coho action with a few kings mixed in when things slowed down we really had to scratch for them. The best bites seemed to be early  morning and late afternoon. Most of our chinook were a bit on the small side but we kept after it and were able to come up with a few good ones. We had good results this weekend running both hoochies and cut plug herring
