Fished Sat / Sunday. It was slow in front of Wheeler ,Picked up a 15/lb hen on Sat on cut plug herring and a 8/lb buck on herring on Sunday. Weather was great,wind came up in the afternoon blow the boat around a little.
Not many fish were caught for round twenty boats out on the river.
Hey I fished the bay in front of wheeler on sunday with my dad, caught one jack about five pounds, nothing special, saw about 3 caught in fron of wheeler, one about 38 pounds, not much else happening, hoping for some better fishing to come.
I too fished the Nehalem on Saturday. I fished the jaws on incoming tide for about four hours without a bite. For approx. 20-30 boats, there was one fish taken. Pulled out and went to Nehalem. Nothing. Talked to the fish checker, and she had physically checked two fish (both from one guide - he got the one fish at the jaws) and she said that six had been caught at Wheeler. SLOWWWW day. Looking forward to better fishing to come.
