I've had luck at Ocean Beach, about half way between Florence and Yachats, just north of Ponsler. It has good parking and easy access to the beach. I've also had luck at Ponsler and the Siltcoos outlet, but beware there is one mutha of a dune you have to traverse at Siltcoos. Beware of...

I got one of these a couple years ago and love it. Holds temp pretty well and has a built-in filtration system. https://smile.amazon.com/FR8000-Basket-Filtration-Pounds-Silver/dp/B00NQ7QFGM/

I have purchased several KastKing reels, and so far have been impressed.

And beware, we have king tides coming. The next round is November 24-26 and December 22-24, 2022.

I have out of state visitors arriving soon and they have expressed an interest in razor clams. Is the OR shellfish license a standalone purchase, or is it an add-on to a standard OR fishing license?

Stunningly beautiful fish!

I'll be using a pickup to transport, but much of the time it will be stored, ready to use, at a neighbor's dock. The extra 18" will prove to be some extra length in the pickup bed. I would like some extra onboard space, so that is definitely a plus.

I've settled on an Old Town PDL kayak for coastal lake fishing, but I'm not sure which model to purchase, either the 10.6 ft or the 12 ft model. I run about 190 lbs on a good day, and I have a low enter of gravity, so I don't think stability is an issue. Based on what I've figured out from the...

19" rainbow out of Sutton Lake. Largest trout I've pulled out of Sutton. They closed our launch ramp early last summer because the bottom fell off, due to people power loading their boats. I expect to pull out a few more of these larger hold-overs since pressure was so light on the trout last year.

Agreed! For the hours I spend fishing every year, it's cheap entertainment.

I live on Sutton Lake. Don't give away our secrets:)

I'd put that in my mouth.

I've heard the same thing since I was a kid (that was a long time ago), but have wondered about modern hooks. Stainless hooks would seem to be more resistant, I'd think.

Over the last two days, I've pulled two young 14-15 inch fin-clipped coho out of Sutton Lake, near Florence, while trolling for trout. Both were lip hooked, and quickly returned to the water, since they can't be retained. But here's the question. I'm pulling nightcrawlers behind flashers, and...

I live on Sutton Lake, just north of Florence, but on the dry side of the road. Thankfully, I have awesome neighbors who let me tie up at their docks so I can leave the boat in the water and avoid trailering for a few days. Hoping to get a line in the water Friday, when temps go over 70° for the...
