I admit this was a few weeks ago now.. I have been fishing for SST and everything else in Oregon for over 3 decades but in all that time I have only tried plunking 2 times and the second time was a charm. Honestly it is easier than it looks but having the right gear and a bucket load of patients...

Oregon shore caught ling cod and rockfish. While I wouldn't rate inshore fishing as good as it was last year "likely water temps and conditions" and even though some pigs have been caught off Newport.. The jetty I fish has been challenging but not entirely fruitless ><,>

A lot of people just do not understand what is involved in operating a forum for a decade without making anything. A mostly thankless job, save for the few that do understand and will help that leader out in times of need. I have been crowdfunded a new PC for the same reason and I was so very...

Sandy River fall chinook. weight: BEEG af

Nice post and report, looks like a very fishy and beautiful lake 🦈

Springers tend to be on the bite or not on the bite, when on the bite I haven't found that lighter leaders do any better "like it might in steelhead fishing", that said I tend to use 20 or 25 lb leader for most salmon fisheries, this also helps to deal with them fast if native or being chased by...

Caldwell, If you are after bass I would suggest the "Fish Brain" app, its free and a good warm water resource imo. I have caught nice smallies along the banks of the willamette river in Oregon City throwing 3 inch grubs, also there is a lot of access around Milwaukie and again around Sellwood...

bass, I'll do my best, nice yak in your profile pic as well ?

I am in Portland. I tend to use corn a lot still but occasionally I use boilies when there are big fish around. I have also been known to use bread, balled up on a hair rig using a tiny gold power bait treble hook to hold the bread ball. Its funny because carp seem to be either very into the...

Hey all, new to this forum but some of you might know me from another local forum "NWFI" as Chinook Winterwolf but anyways I love carp fishing so I thought I would come over and hang out with y'all this year and share Oregon carp stories. I fish U.K. style with either bank stix or a rod pod with...
