Target: Salmon/bottom fish

Catch: 3 coho/4 ling cod, 10 bottom fish

Fishermen / boat: Glen and Todd on Todd’s boat

Left dock at 6:00 a.m. , returned to dock 2:00 p.m.

Rigging: Spinfish 3.0 Lemon Head Glo and Double Trouble 4.0. For bottom fish, copper pipe jigs, baseball bat jigs, swimbaits, and flutter jigs.

Conditions: Moderate seas, rougher than forecast.

The bite was not as good as it has been. We got 2 hatchery coho before deciding to run North to Cannon Beach for bottom fishing. We found a school of sea bass and quickly put 7 or 8 in the boat . I had a triple and a double! The first triple for me in a couple of years. After a while we had our 10 bottom fish and one ling that Todd caught. We decided to run back towards port, and stopped to fish coho one more time, in shallower water, 150’ or so. We caught a few natives and I got my second hatchery coho, then we returned to the docks about 2:00 p.m. That is a long day! Thanks to Todd for inviting me on his boat two days in a row, it is nice to take a break from running the boat every so often.
