Planning a trip to chase some gators out of Astoria this Friday and Saturday with some friends. Any reports? Has the outgoing or incoming tides been the most productive? I checked the tides and high tide is around noon. Should be a good outgoing all afternoon. As I recall the outgoing is usually better. Anchovies, sandshrimp and smelt are my baits of choice. Hope to see some ifishers down there. Let me know what channel your on and I will give you a call.
