Depoe Bay Salmon Report ... 10/26, 10/27

[fish assassin]

Hi all,

Happy Monday!!

Salmon were thick as flies on an old tuna carcass
this weekend out of Depoe Bay! There were a few fish
in as close as 40 fathoms, but the bulk of the feeder
fish were out at 60-65 fathoms.

We had great ocean conditions Saturday with widely
spaced swells running up to 7 feet and *sunshine*!!
My youngest brother and I fished until 3pm and had
the best day of Chinook fishing that any of my boats
has ever had (highest number of fish caught). We
considered that as a "record day" for us. That record
held exactly one day!!

On Sunday I had another record day as I was single
handing the boat. All fish for both days were caught
deep (100-140 feet) on our down-riggers. The hot spot
on Sunday was up off the Siletz river at 62 fathoms.

Good luck to anybody that gets out for these last few
days of salmon fishing!

Thanks AssAssin! I really appreciate your detailed reports, as I am sure all the rest of the Salty Dogs do! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] I may make it out there tomorrow with a friend.

Deepslayer,

Hope the weather holds for you! I heard rumor this
weekend (actually I listened to the weather channel
on the VHF) that the swell was coming up to 11 or 12
feet with 3-5 foot wind chop. I don't know about you,
but I HATE fishing in that kind of weather.

Good luck out there and remember, be CAREFUL! The
weather can change sooo fast at this time of year!

Now, now!! Don't say such things. My weather info
is at least a day and a half old, and besides, you
know how accurate the weather guessers are! Some of
my best days were on days that the weathermen said
that I wouldn't be on the ocean!!

Good luck!

Thanks assAssin! I have two rules #1 I respect Big Blue & #2 I don't do combat fishing. Sounds like I won't be out this week. :shocked:
