To Crab this weekend: Nehalem or Hammond?

don't worry about rain or debris in hammond,
just the commercial pots. Some say they are still getting limits, it just takes longer.

My bother-in-law and I are thinkin about crabbing this weekend then possbile fish afterward on the Necanicum. Which do you think would be better, Hammond or Nehalem Bay? Is there too much debris in the water from all this rain to make crabbin poor?

Thanks for your advise!!

I was thinking about the same thing only it was either Nehalem, Tillamook or Neatarts.

Thanks for the info.

Here's my .02. I called jetty fishery in Nehalem yesterday and they said that the day before there was only one guy out with a buddy and they got 21

Hope that helps. I will be there tomorrow to find out first hand, I'll let you know how I do.

I'm going to try Hammond on Monday. The high is about 11:30 am in Astoria.

Trying to decide between Hammond and Tillamook, any reports?

The tides are not good this weekend. For Hammond you are looking at at a high tide of around 9:30pm.

Low tide won't be until about 4:30pm.

First light would be your best bet to catch any incoming tide.
