Hi all,
im appearing out of my normal lurking state to ask for advise on a little adventure that the wife and I have planned for mid October.
a short story, when I was a kid, my step dad would take him and I up to Hebo and around the little Nestucca where he had made arrangements with a land owner to give us access to the river through his property. We’d always get a few fish and for me it is a great memory.
Recently, we were staying in Astoria in an Airbnb and I decided to start looking at rentals on the river. After looking at the fall run line up I zeroed in on the Nestucca tidewater for October chinook. I found and rented a place on one of the main canals and just a short paddle to the mouth of the river. I have never fished in a tidal environment but it seems like the incoming tide would be the right time. I recently acquired a Benifide ss127 and decided that I could launch from the canal.
having said all that, any advice on how to fish for these monsters, bait setup and timing would be greatly appreciated. It’s going to be my 71st birthday and I couldn’t think of a way to celebrate.
thanks in advance.
