Megler bridge

[SLEDDER]

Some general info. for those interested. Fished Washington side above and below the Astoria ( Megler) bridge. Used chartruese body spinner, and whole herring. 1 hour prior to high and .5 hour after high we caught silvers in 15-20 feet of water. Water very warm, slowing the bite I think. Water cools about 5 degrees as tide comes in. Free ramp at Hammond on Oregon side.

Sledder Thanks Im going the 21st High tide is around 7am Where do you think i should start b-10 0r church area? Would rather catch up-river Brights than silvers but would take silvers.

Sledder,

I'm a little confused with your last sentence, "A free ramp at Hammond on the Oregon side"? I've fished there several times this year and the cost is still $5.00 for daily launch. Did something change in the last 3 weeks? Could you explain.

thanks, hook

Bathtub, Not sure about location of church area. I do think that upriver right above or below Astoria bridge has just as much fish catching potential as bouy-10 without the traffic jam.
Hookset, I really don't know how many ramps are in Hammond. The one we put in at was up stream of cannery. It is a double laner with a road loop up above the ramp. There is a small bait shop/covenience store. No one approached us looking for a ramp fee, Did I get lucky?

You Launched at Warrenton.

Slider, Thanks for correcting me! Sorry about the bum info.

Hey Sledder, that's ok. Your learning!! Now you know the Warrenton ramp. The ramp at Hammond will cost you a fiver to launch. It's further downstream and down the road about 4 miles to Hammond. Nice ramp except at very low minus tides, it's also closer to Buoy 10.

Thanks for the report!
