Default oyster hole

I've been fishing the Nehalem for the past 2 months and it's down now, but i'm going to the oyster hole and the wilson this weekend and maybe someone could give me some input on how/what to fish the oyster hole? The wilson arm is out and two the right from the oyster hole to my knowledge, but maybe someone could give some info. on sand bars-ect. Thanks :whazzup:

Default Re: oyster hole

The oyster house hole at the corner should be good with bait wrapped kwikfish, spinners and back bouncing eggs the last 2 hours of the incoming. Personaly at this time of year, I like kwikfish on the incoming. The deeper water is near the corner next to the road.

The sands have really changed the upper bay. The Wilson entrance is very shallow, timing your trip to coincide with the last half of the incoming is important as well as a very shallow draft sled. There are several large stumps to watch out for. You should visit the entrance during low tide to map out the route. If I remember correctly, travel up a little left of center. There is a slot at the entrance of the Wilson into the bay next to the sands, depth depends on tides. At low tide say .0, the depth is only 1.5 foot apx.

Near the mouth of the Wilson, there are a few snags with markers attached, the deeper water is close to these snags. The corner area (pilings)near the road downstream from the oyster hole is filled in with sand, travel near the middle towards the right side (Wilson side) to get to the picket fence and lower bay. The slots are narrow except at high tide, you'll be trolling in depths of 4 to 6 feet a lot. I have even seen fish caught in 3 feet of water.

The area is hard to describe, just have a good working depth finder and shallow draft boat.

good luck,

Gregg
