Gear Restriction

[Crusty]

Where do I find the gear restrictions for Tillamook Bay? It seems to me that last year flashers, colored sinkers, and ? were proscribed but I can't find it in the book or on the ODFW site. Does anyone know where it is?

Crusty, I see you are from Estacada also, I remember the reg.s you are refering to..Over 6" bait, no divers, no colored weights, size 5/0 barbless....anything to hamstring the angler and put the odds on the side of the fish......maybe they have dropped those regulations this go around with such a tremdous run this? I am the red Dodge and Black and silver Alumaweld you see in town..we probably know each other...

Crusty,

Was over that way this weekend and got a copy of the regs. No divers, flashers on down riggers only, bait must be at least 6 inches long. The color restrictions have been lifted. The surprise I found is that the baarbless restriction has also been lifted within the entire terminal zone.

A few fish were caught, but it's not hot yet. We put one in the boat and had two others on.
