This sounds like a great theme for a book. "The Bus Riding Trout Bum"

Pi$$ ?

Piss weed...

No Title The final outcome!

I did. I had the filet knife in hand and I figured I would YouTube how to filet a lingcod in case there was something special I needed to do. It was exactly how I would've assumed to cut, and then I saw the cheeks being cut out. Factoid of the day: walleye cheeks taste exactly like scallops! No...

Thanks again to everyone here for all of the great info. I am in Oregon again, doing my annual family trip, and nailed my first lingcod! South jetty at Newport with a large tube jig that I normally use to ice fish for Lake Trout. Been waiting to scratch this off my list! ​​​​​​​

Dozer, great info. If you ever happen to be in CO, let me know I can offer some advice. Looks like you know how to catch fish anywhere though...

With a lip like that, what kind of a retrieve do you use for those plugs? Here in CO I throw a lot of rapalas in the rivers for trout, and tend to do a quick jerk retrieve with pauses. This is only possible with a small lip when you're in fast water. Are you working pockets of water with a...

At 1:04 there is a big splash far down on the left bank, right under the trees. Is this a salmon "rolling" that I always read about? Think I need to get a guide the next time I visit....

Congrats! Grassies were the hardest for me to figure out how to catch....

Thanks for the video Sammy. I'm headed to seaside next week to try my chance at some perch. What else have you caught from the beach surf?

So after realizing I won't have much fishing time, and that we'll be close to the beach, I'm going to try for some perch! Thanks for all the replies. A couple more questions; what do you consider an eating size perch? What other fish will I hook into? I've seen some reports of flounder? Pretty...

Thanks all. I don't need to be educated on "what the value of going with a guide is". I know that the techniques and info are what you should be paying attention to. My assumption was that there must be a bigger "party" boat that takes more people out, and is cheaper. That's usually the deal...

I'm headed out next week to Seaside for a family vacation. Spent hours online researching the bottom fishing charters....they all seem to be about $150 a person. I assumed it would be cheaper. I've done my share of guided fishing and I understand paying to be a part of a smaller boat/crew. Are...

Thanks all, so much to consider....Oregon, like CO, will make me a happy camper wherever I end up. I definitely saw the difference in trout fishing; the Metolius was tough but if it's too easy it isn't as rewarding...
