Westport/Tennahile Island Springer reports?

[fishing is life]

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share any tips on fishing in that area. I was thinking of making a springer trip down there but have never been down there. I probably will go down there in Feb to get a head start on the springer season but it would be nice to go in with some knowledge.

Spent many hours trolling clifton channel. Caught fish on both spinners and herring. Troll the incoming tide, find a pile dike and tie up and fish it on the ebb. Use herring wrapped kwikfish. Check out the pile dike right as you come of the westport slough. The clifton channel does not really heat up until March. You can also go down around Aldrich point boat ramp and troll there. Between Westport boat ramp (Wauna) and Tongue point there are lots of places to fish. Do lots of exploring and look for other boats, just be careful as there are some real shallow spots that will catch you off guard.

Watch out for the deadheads in the Clifton area! It is a great place to troll, however the fish seem to move through there quickly. Good luck!

both of those places are great
