Thank you for the advise. I definitely have a lot to learn. The only salmon experience I have is throwing spinners off rhododendron and the only experience I have fishing from a boat is trolling for lake trout with a Ford fender and a wedding ring tipped with a worm.

Thank you for the info Roger. I ended up launching at Cushman on Sunday about 1130. Trolled back and forth between 101 and RR bridge for about 6 hours, not a single hookup. The whole time saw one hooked/lost and another caught. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or it just wasn't a good...

What do they usually hit hard on?

I got my chest waders from cabelas. Went upstairs to the clearance section and picked them up for $65. Instead of surf fishing you should be heading to the coast doing some salmon fishing. There's isn't much to it and once you get your first catch, you will so be addicted. I can walk you...

Hey guys, I'm planning on heading out Sunday morning to do some salmon fishing on the siuslaw. I have never boated on the slaw before and am looking for some advice. Where should I launch from? Is there a charge to launch and parking? Also, what kind of gear should I use for trolling? Any...

That's awesome!!! I was there Friday morning and there was no action going on. A few sea lions here and there, no catches and none jumping. Went to winchester at noon and saw three get caught, one nook and two coho (which were released). Spent the morning here at Winchester, heard of one...

How is the salmon fishing going on rhododendron?

I have to drive three hours to coos bay tomorrow, thinking about doing an extra hour to go try for some salmon on the rogue. I'm unfamiliar with fishing the rogue, any tips where a bank fisher can toss their line for a couple hours?

Thanks for the replies. Was thinking about heading out that way today but don't want to waist the two hour drive if there's no fish yet.

Any action going on on rhododendron?

Hills creek reservoir, well stocked, 35 miles up 58, and very peaceful.

I did not, it was windy and pouring down rain when I was down there. Maybe next time. I really want to try catching dome long cod or rock fish

I'm going to be in coos bay on Monday for work, when I'm done I plan on doing some fishing. I hear ling cod and rock fish are biting. Where are some good spots to go?

Thank you Rogerdodger, as my first year of fishing I am anxiously waiting for those steelhead. I have a very limited supply of roe and can't spare any to test the waters looking for the first sh of the run. Generally when is a good time to go out? And where? I am currently shore bound for...

Isn't Whittaker currently closed?
