i am not sure what the lures are called but they are nice bright colored spinners with like a hoochie tail. but i am sure big blue foxes and stuff like that would work as well. I have seen them catch coho off the pier there. But then you have to walk back to the beach to land it. It is easy walking but a long walk to land it. The jetties are a little tougher going over rock and such.
I think there's Nooks and Ho's in all coastal rivers (tidewater and below) right now. I witnessed two biggg fish jump, WAY up at the top of tidewater yesterday. This was past saltwater part too. water was 69deg.. too warm for good fishing!
Chinook in tide water in August?..ya whatever...:lol:..I think Odorks are gonna choke on the number of fish comming back...all those nooks in Alaska didn't go up thier rivers, and they gotta go someplaceStart pestering ODFW now and before the seasons over we might get to keep a couple more fish.
We need a good week or two of RAIN! COLD RAIN! To get the rivers up and COOLED off! :dance: 70 deg water ain't really the best for fishing.
NO WAY!!! The Chinook will stack below the 70 deg thermalcline. The last two years between snow melt and early rains the chinook have shot into the rivers completely hosing the tidewater fishery. If the river is 69 deg you will have chinook trying to blow into the river and try to spawn. Keep your rain to yourself!:lol: Lets keep them tiding for a while so the numbers of fish at one shot coming in are higher and we will all do better! We'll talk rain in two more like three weeks.

in the siletz i found temps in the low 60's, i know the best temps are in the higher 50's, i am just trying to tell what i found...
You find a lot of biters in 70deg water? :think:
Key to that Mike was BELOW the 70 deg. thermalcline. The fish will follow that up river. Chinook will go as far upriver as they can before they hit it..and move a little above it then drop back to cool off. And yes, every year we ding fish when the water is that warm..just not on bait.
It's suppose to rain this weekend. Maybe not a bunch, but will help at least bring the cutts in more. I need the Nooks to start coming next week to have them where I want to fish them in 3 weeks. I can fish lower, just not as much fun out in the open. Anybody able to tell me how far ahead I can Brine my Herring and have them still be good? Thanks, Dan
