BOUY ONE THIS WEDNESDAY
OK boys and girls... This Wednesday the ocean is predicted to have 4ft swells, and maximum 15kt winds (probably
not until the afternoon). Weather report calls for mostly overcast skies, which makes for glassy water in the
morning. The area is LOADED with big chinook and small to medium sized coho which are feeding hard in preparation
of their runs. This combination of attributes is a recipie for fast limits of big fish on sweet water, and on Wednesday
there will be NO pressure. Best of all, the tide change is only 4.3 feet with the high or incoming tides occuring when
we'll want to cross the bar.
To all those guys that have been wanting to do the ocean, its time to get it salty. My float plans are as follows. My
boat is full, but anyone wanting to floatilla, just answer up.
FLOAT PLAN A: 06:00-Depart Warrington . 06:40-Cross bar . 06:45-Deploy crab pots. 07:00-Arrive Bouy One. 07:05
throw back first coho.....07:45-throw back 7th coho...07:50-Head bonk Mr. Spotty tail. 07:45-Head bonk Mr.
Spottytail's big brother. 08:00-Take pictures, re rig for lings. 08:05-Depart Bouy one, destination Twin Rocks.
08:30-slam bottom fish. 10:00-return to Astoria. 10:30-harvest crustaceans. 10:40-cross bar (well before low ebb
and before wind kicks up). 11:00-hose blood clumps off of boat and flush engine, eat, return to Portland, butcher,
brine, and package another hundred pounds of meat.
FLOAT PLAN B: Same as float plan A except wind arrival is late so second crossing occurs more like 14:00 (more than
an hour after low ebb).
