I use a drift sock and a 5 gallon bucket hung off my oar locks of a 16' driftboat with a 8hp honda kicker. Originally tried just the sock off the back being held by the anchor system when I realized I was still trolling to fast. From what I understand when you're trolling for salmon you want...
Hooked into a fairly decent sized fish. Yet again at the beginning of my salmon season I didn't set the hook well enough and it got off very easily the first time it came up and rolled by the boat. One of the nicest weekends I've had in Newport weather wise so it was a great day none the less...
Yeah it doesn't take a lot to convince me to bring my boat. Looked up some threads on ifish and I called a shop down in Newport. He says its a little slow but like I always say, a bad day on the river beats a good day in the office! ;)
Spending the weekend in Newport and I thought I'd bring my boat and do some salmon fishing. After looking at this forum it doesn't seem theres much to be had in the bay? Any thoughts? I've got an aluminum driftboat with a 8hp motor... Would I be better off fishing the Jetties for rockfish and...
Anyone know what kind of laws would keep people from being able to camp on the islands? I know you arent allowed to have a fire within a certain distance of the water which would put you on someones property, but what kind of laws keep us from camping on the islands!?
About 4 weeks ago my girlfriend and I went blueberry picking up at that little farm on Greenwood. Decided to get some sun and cast some lures at the boat landing when on the 3rd-4th cast I caught this nice sized springer. Had to borrow a net as I was fishing a smaller trout rod with 20lb...
Very nice! I hooked into a couple springers up at greenwood boat landing about 3-4 weeks ago using a "tequila sunrise" little cleo spoon. Couldnt believe it! 1 of the 3 was a pretty old hen but I kept her anyways to smoke it! :-D
Yeah if there was somewhere I could slip a 10$ bill into I bet no one would complain. Either way fish should be up farther than the jetties soon enough. I prefer cushman and the dairy hole anyways~
I was out there sunday, hooked into one that got off fairly quickly and that was all she wrote. Thinking I should find somewhere to park my boat instead of towing it eugene to florence every weekend. Any recommendations?
