Oyster House, Ghost Hole, CG Station, Bubble, Where's the t-bay bite !

[FM2]

Going to t-bay tomorrow, anyone have any updated reports.

Thanks images/icons/smile.gif

A week ago I heard that the commercial boats were doing really good just off the jaws. Anywhere from 1 to 3 miles out. It sounds like there are quite a few fish waiting to come in. We could sure use a big run after last year.

We tried the S. Jetty and had it to ourselves. Only hook up was a Silver, long line released. Also tried CG hole and W. channel. Saw none caught.

Good luck

Fished out of T-bay in the ocean on Sunday and Monday. My wife had a nice Chinook to the boat but it came unhook. Monday we got a #30 buck into the boat on the south side. Not a lot of fish being caught from what I could tell.

Just talked with Marie at Tillamook bait, she said the fish are in the upper bay. As HotT1 says, red and white spinners are the hot ticket right now, even Marie confirmed this. I'm there.

Dave, where are you going to be ?

[Threemuch]

We fished the south side of the south jetty Saturday for no fish, went inside and fished the jaws for no fish, then went to ghost hole for no fish. If you can see the pattern, let me know!

We saw 10 or so landed outside on the south of the jetty. The guy next to us hooked up, and his rod promptly snapped right in half, the tip went right down his line into the water. He looked over at us very calmly and said "this should be interesting."

He landed that fish after 15 minutes or so, a high 20s king. I don't know his name, but this guy was one cool cucumber.

I will be curious to hear about your trip tomorrow. I am going down Friday. Please post a report.

Hatchery Coho Bag Limits Increase on Coastal Streams and Lower Columbia Tributaries



PORTLAND — Further taking advantage of abundant hatchery coho returns, Oregon fishery managers again increased daily catch limits for adipose fin-clipped coho in many coastal rivers and Columbia River tributaries below Bonneville Dam. The new bag limits go into effect Saturday, Sept. 15.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) estimates that 1.7 million hatchery coho were present in the ocean this summer, with 1.1 million returning this fall to the Columbia River. Today’s decision is one of many in recent weeks to provide additional angling opportunity on healthy hatchery coho and hatchery steelhead returns.

The new regulations increase the daily salmon and steelhead bag limit to four adipose fin-clipped coho in coastal rivers and Columbia River tributaries below Tongue Point that allow the harvest of adipose fin-clipped coho. The only exception is the Salmon River on the mid-coast, where the bag limit will remain two salmon or steelhead for conservation reasons. The new regulations also increase the daily salmon and steelhead bag limit in Columbia River tributaries above Tongue Point up to the Sandy River to three adipose fin-clipped coho. Within the daily bag limit, unless stated otherwise below, anglers may not harvest more than two chinook or two adipose fin-clipped steelhead in the aggregate.

Biologists analyzed risks to wild stocks in each of the rivers affected by the bag limit increases and concluded that the additional harvest opportunity would not adversely affect the naturally spawning populations.

With the increased fishing opportunities, anglers are encouraged to purchase another tag to allow the harvest of additional hatchery salmon or steelhead. The "Hatchery Harvest Tag" allows anglers an additional 10 fin-clipped salmon or steelhead. These tags are $12 and may be purchased at ODFW offices and many license agents in the state. Anglers do not need to fill their original Combined Harvest Tag to purchase a second tag, however, they must present all angling tags when buying an additional one. There is no limit on the number of Hatchery Harvest Tags purchased.

Below is a listing of popular river systems and fisheries that are affected:

Today we got a 40# at he coast guard tower and a 27# out in the ocean. There wasn't a lot going on out there though.

[SailCat]

Here's a sample from this evening's newsletter from the newest advertisers at ifish:

"The upper bay has been producing well as is usually the case this time of year. The first fish to enter the bay are typically Trask and Tillamook River bound. These fish are characterized by their body type of short and deep versus the Wilson and Kilchis fish that are long and sleek. The Wilson and Kilchis fish seem to show up more in October and November. Many different color spinners are working well for these fish with red/white, and chartreuse blades most consistent. The brass/green and red/white with brass back was particularly good the last 2 days. Both the outgoing and incoming tides have produced well with fish coming from the Oyster House Hole and the middle of the bay on the outgoing tides. On the incoming, the middle of the bay at the Sheep Corral has been consistent. Be sure to get those spinners fishing deep on the incoming tide. Herring has also produced well on the incoming tide in the corral. You can bounce those right on the bottom with a 2 foot dropper lead line. The jaws has not been good on the incoming tide but may get better a little later in the week as we have high tides coming on at first light. The Trask and Tillamook tidewaters are holding chinook and there is a good bunch of coho in the Trask tidewater. Bobber and egg those coho as you are allowed to keep up to 4 coho/person/day!"

There wasn't room to include the other 3,600 words in the weekly newsletter. images/icons/smile.gif
