No. No chinook on board in the ocean while fishing.
Yes barbless, you better just go throw the fish in a cooler in the truck then go ocean.

Ok great that’s what I suspected. Thanks

Fished Monday. Ran out around 8am to 260’ looking for the warmer water. Landed one keeper and lost one. Ran out to 300’ to join some other boats and didn’t touch anything. Ran back to 260’ and landed a few more keepers. Ended up 3 for 4.

I think most are running over fish. We got 6 keepers between 110’-140’ off Nehalem yesterday

 

[I'd rather fish]

If everything works out we'll be out Tuesday. I'll try close in 1st.

Fished yesterday at 275 to 290 off twin, had 8 hatchery coho quick, then it died off and took over and hour to scratch out the 9th, pulled the plug before we got our 10th at noon. Released 15 or so natives, a few shorts and 1 Chinook.

Ran NW out of Nehalem today at first light. Started in 225 feet of water. Trolled my way west with no bites for the first 20-30 minutes. Then I hit 260 feet of water. 55 degrees. Let go about a 12 pound chinook. Then it went wide open and I was getting but every 2-3 minutes trolling west with my one solo rod out. Only problem was 90% of them were wild. Let go probably 15-20 really nice wild coho and a couple hatchery dinks to get my two 8-10 pound hatchery coho by 8:45am. Bite was starting to slow down but was still getting bit every 15 minutes or so towards the end. Ended up just doing about a half mile loop on that pod I found until I was done. All bite were between 260 and 280 FOW. I didn’t really look how far north I was but I would guess just about straight off manzanita. Go get them!

We did a long leader trip this morning. Around 930am a commercial crabber came over channel 16 and made a general broadcast. “If any salmon fisherman care, I’m running gear just north of the north jetty in 14 fathoms and there are jumpers everywhere”.
There you go. Coho from the jetty tips out to probably 350’.
by the way. The ocean kind of sucked today. Guess I’ve been spoiled last week.

No I have Max Ebb. Moonshine also did well yesterday when I talked with him.

Buddy on charter boat says they are hooking many many salmon fishing rockfish at 3 arch. On the reef, 150’. Find the birds and bait, salmon and rocks gorging.

Depth is one thing, temperature is another. We found a 1.5 degree break that happened over about 1/8th mile that worked pretty well for us Saturday. The coho were mostly on the colder side of the break. Might want to add that bit of into to the process.
