Nice fish!
I think I saw you guys over there yesterday. I was in a driftboat, trolling herring. There wasn't much else going on. Were you guys there in the afternoon or morning? The guys I talked to picked one up early in the afternoon just west of Coyote Rock, by the big rock wall on the corner.

Is your boat a Sea People sled with a windshield? If it is I met you on the Siletz a couple years ago.
Nice nooker. I wish I could et over that way and attempt to get some.

Hey i think ill give it a try there this weekend. Ive never fished salmon before, just learning. Are you useing a dropper wieght to get down there with your flatfish? Or are you trolling? Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated! thanks, sean

RJ · 08-28-2001, 04:48 PM

you can play around with the drop generally i will run a 40 inch drop with 6 feet of leader to flatfish.the real key in my opinion is the bait wrap.I have some super fresh monteray bait(sardines) that are really oily good luck RJ

I've not drifted the Siletz and would like to give it a shot!

RJ,
I think you had justgotten your boat when I met you. It was still nice and shiney. I was in a black willie and I made a comment about your boat being a Sea People.
