    Lakes Henry Hagg Lake Fishing Reports

    I was on the Hagg yesterday (May 24th) in my Canoe trolling up around Scoggins and Seine with average water temp of 62 except in the Scoggins stream flow where it dropped down to 56... did better on Bass than last week... Bluegill bite was on in the shallows as well, found a submerged tree and...

    Tillamook jetty...

    I have been catching fish off of the Jetty using some 'Glow in the Dark' Grubs or Mullet... scented heavy with Pro-Cure Flounder Pounder or Menhaden.... stinks, but they seem to really like it.

    Tillamook jetty...

    I wear a Mustang Inflatable both Winter and Summer when fishing in the Surf, Rocks or Jetty... and when on Rock or Jetties, went in one time with my waders on without one...NEVER AGAIN! Really didn't thing I would ever get back onto the sand. I also wear Tungsten Cleated boots.

    Tillamook jetty...

    Totally agree with the High Slack being the best, the Night fishing utilizing light bringing them in and above all.... Stay Safe! Fishing mid point and beyond is some excellent water, but it takes a lot of 'Common Sense' and 'Respect for the Ocean'... I have seen people out where I like to...

    Tillamook jetty...

    I will normally fish the Incoming tide and the Slack at both end...sometimes I will flip big Spinners and Jigs into the channel and bounce them back into the Rocks... Lingcod and some of the other more aggressive species will still be active during Outgoing, just a lot harder to entice into a...

    Tillamook jetty...

    When the warmer current runs in close to shore, we can hook into Humbolt Squid from the end of the Jetty... it is a night fishing experience when they are there using Squid Jigs... I have also heard of Octopus being caught but have never been given the pleasure of inviting one home for dinner. I...

    Bethany Pond fishing

    Just a follow up on December fishing at Bethany Lake.... decided to test out my new Lamiglas 9'6" rod and Shimano reel that I got from Santa... designed for Winter Steelhead ... running 12# Braid on it. Tied on a short leader of 6# Fluorocarbon and a #4 Black Panther Martin, just to test the...

    Tillamook jetty...

    Try again once the water settles down... the Tilly Jetty has some really good fishing... Rockfish & Ling up close to the rocks... Kelp Greenling and Cabezon out on the bottom of the channel in the Kelp and Cabbage on the Bayside between the Jaws.... Surf Perch all around with some nice ones on...

    Hooking into a shark...on a crowded beach

    Most common are Blue, Leopard, Salmon, Soupfin, Pacific Angel and White*... along with Rays and Skate... and I have one Tiger to my name, verified by the Seaside Aquarium. The Tiger was caught the year that we were catching the Humboldt Squid off of the point of the Jetty and Tuna were within 5...

    Hooking into a shark...on a crowded beach

    BTW - when I said I have caught other 'incidental' fish when fishing for Shark with large baits, those fish have been nearshore Halibut, big Flounder, Lingcod and large Rockfish.... along with one Octopus. Downside to Large Bait floating under a balloon is Sealions, which once hooked up are...

    Hooking into a shark...on a crowded beach

    This will sound really stupid, however the absolute most promising way to locate Shark is to have a really good powerful pair of Binoculars and scan the horizon to shore for fins! :thumb: Seriously, the majority of hookups are due to sight fishing... once I spot a fin, I take my bait, which is...

    Hooking into a shark...on a crowded beach

    Yes... The Oregon Coastal waters produce some excellent Shark fishing at times... mainly I have hooked them because I am specifically targeting them.

    Report from Diblee Beach

    Well..... anyone do any good today? All I did is watch the water and talk to people... saw one fish - C&R I had three 'taps' and one good 'take' that turned out to be a floating tree limb hitting my line :flex:

    Looking for some fish

    Scoggins Bass and Panfish bites are still on every morning and evening... dies once the sun hits the water pretty much! Dorman and Bethany Pond Bass are there, but you will need to dig to get them to open their mouth. The Clone Trout (Hatchery) will take just about anything if you get down to...
